LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

T

he 2020-2021 school year was different than any Church Farm School has likely seen. The entire community pulled together to offer

and enhance our unique school model and program in the age of Covid-19. Everyone, especially our students, should be commended for the spirited nature by which they adjusted within multiple learning approaches and persevered through social distancing, mask wearing, two periods of quarantine and the steady stream of protocols and their revisions—all from which we pivoted multiple times in a complex health environment. Well outside what we communicated this past year, however, lies the true strength and character of a school determined to meet the needs of its people and do its best to flourish under such unique circumstances. Church Farm School has demonstrated again what the Founder so boldly proclaimed, “If God gives us a vision of something He wants done, He also gives us the ability to do it.”

The class experience was certainly different. The faculty were supported through steady professional development and consultation with specialists such as John Spencer. Zoom meetings became a sufficient platform for class work, school meetings and Chapel. Seniors were offered a steady stream of virtual college events and support through the College Guidance Office. Additional enhancements to our technology platform through partnerships and material updates kept us connected and engaged. We are grateful to the IT staff and Department Chairs who met regularly to stay abreast of the learning environment and what things might be needed to assist students and teachers throughout the year.

We came to understand more fully that nothing replaces in-person learning and the student experience of being together and working alongside their peers, and we were glad to be able to offer this option during the second semester. Although the winter athletic season was scrubbed, students were able to practice and hone their skills. By spring, track and field, baseball and tennis were able to compete with a few interscholastic competitions. Perhaps the best measure of our success was when the entire Class of 2021 was on campus for graduation and the joy of being together was felt for the first time in over a year. Clearly, the community rose to meet and overcome the obstacles thrown our way by the pandemic and we are most pleased that these young men are on their way to higher learning and bright futures.

The multi-cultural heritage and experiences of so many in our community also came to greater focus as we worked to address critical matters made more acute by the death of George Floyd and so many others. The community embraced Black Lives Matter as a witness to continuing efforts for inclusion of those in our society who have been marginalized and hidden. Our examination

of CFS structures and educational systems is part of our Strategic Plan and Student Success. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) has taken on greater energy and focus across all stakeholder groups.

Having the ability to meet the vision we have for ourselves as well as what God wills is what has made Church Farm School especially strong and resilient for more than 100 years. The support so many have provided in tough times as well as in years of plenty is part of that legacy, and I am especially grateful to our supporters who have been so generous with their charitable giving. We have occupied new spaces on an enhanced campus, and we are excited about opening school with everyone fully engaged in the learning opportunities that exist here every day. You will read more about the wonders your benefaction have produced throughout this report, which I urge you to read entirely for there is much to celebrate.

Thank you for your support, prayers and confidence.

With heartfelt appreciation,

THE REVEREND EDMUND K. SHERRILL II

LETTER FROM THE BOARD CHAIR

T

he CFS Board of Trustees had a very active year and made terrific progress advancing the CFS mission. Governance recruited five new talented

board members with diverse backgrounds replacing three retiring board members. Development continued outreach to our supporters through virtual fundraising events that bring important relationships and financial support to our school. Audit took on the important and timely task of cyber security of our computer networks and worked to strengthen IT support services. Finance continued the stewardship work of our endowment investments that support ongoing operations, fully funded operations that maintained staffing levels and successfully received government grant assistance through PPP loan forgiveness. Student Development engaged in the challenging work of enrollment management, retained a consultant to provide recommendations and launched a digital marketing campaign to reach prospective families. Building & Grounds completed the Campus Modernization Project, updating our facilities and physical plant to maintain a state of good repair. The Executive Committee worked closely with the Head of School to achieve specific goals including the primary goal of safely reopening the school for in-person operations. The Executive Committee also completed a three-year contract extension for the Head of School. The work of our Committees is ongoing, and I thank each Chair for their leadership and service, especially through the challenges of the past year.

Two ad hoc committees completed important work over the past year on behalf of the Board. The Capital Campaign Committee exceeded our fundraising goal by raising nearly $7M for the Campus Modernization Project. The Campaign was successfully concluded in December 2020 and was the first major CFS fundraising campaign in 20 years.

The Board also engaged in discussions on DEI as the main topic of the Spring Retreat. The Board realizes that DEI is a topic keenly felt in the nonprofit sector, including at CFS, where there are voices of frustration and advocation for change. The Board, based on input from the Student Development Committee, formed an ad hoc committee to discuss DEI at CFS and to make recommendations to the Board consistent with the CFS Strategic Plan and mission.

The fall of 2021 marks the return to full, in-person, on-campus education at CFS. While Covid-era complications brought change to the way education is delivered to students, in-person experiences and brotherhood in a community setting is the cornerstone of the CFS model. I look forward to a greater sense of community as we return to campus to strive and implement the ideals of our CFS mission.

Malik Moore ’89: Closing the Opportunity Gap in Columbus

M

alik Moore moved to Philadelphia from the suburbs of New Jersey following his parents’ divorce. He was starting to follow along a path forged by his two older brothers—a path of life on the streets—when he decided it was time to make better choices for himself.

He applied to Church Farm School without his parents’ knowledge. “Dr. Shreiner looked at my test scores, and told me quite honestly that he didn’t think I was Church Farm School material, but that he’d take a chance on me. I set about to prove him wrong.” That proof came in the form of honor roll every quarter, along with the most prestigious award bestowed upon a graduating senior: The Headmaster’s Watch. “Church Farm put me on a trajectory to make college a reality.”

Malik graduated in 1989, and, after visiting colleges with then College Guidance Director Rich Lunardi, selected Ursinus. “Mr. Rhile went there and many other proximal leaders I knew. Their endorsement helped me believe in it for myself.” Since then, Malik has committed himself to giving young people “the boarding school experience without being in boarding school. When I was that age, I couldn’t figure out how to get out of the neighborhood without actually getting out of it. It’s important that I do that same thing for others; remove those things that are impediments.”

Closing the opportunity gap for young people to Malik means putting pro-social support around kids from disadvantaged neighborhoods and backgrounds. He’s committed to this work his entire professional life; whether serving in leadership positions at YMCAs throughout the country or in his current position at Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) Columbus. The largest public charter program in the United States, KIPP’s mission, much like Church Farm School’s, is to address social, emotional and educational gaps and help young people see their own potential.

Malik’s passion for service isn’t limited to his career; he is currently chairing the Council Residential Districting Commission in Columbus, focused on a process “that

will address the impacts of redlining and create a more democratic process and inclusive city.” His website, “Seek Moore Purpose,” combines his love of his family, his interest in photography and his memory of his father with the goal of exploring ways to become active, caring and engaged members of society by following three tenets: “Love Deeply. Think Critically. Use Any Power You Have to Empower Others.”

The work Malik is doing is inspiring. He says he is inspired by the present-day CFS. “I see kids that seem smarter and more worldly than I ever was in high school.” The “serenity of the campus” and the Episcopal education that celebrates a variety of beliefs and backgrounds is also something that Malik believes is beneficial to young people. “We went through the Episcopal rituals, but the school never wanted to strip you of your own faith. It helped me to understand the power of faith and the belief that you are serving something higher than yourself.”

Talmadge O’Neill ’86: Investing in Education

W

hile selecting an honoree for our second annual Alumni Achievement Award, one name kept rising to the top: Talmadge O’Neill. Talmadge, who graduated from Church Farm School in 1986, is well known as a technology entrepreneur. He’s also vastly appreciated at Church Farm School for his longtime investment in the school; he has helped the school raise more than $300,000 via two recent alumni fundraising challenges, plus he continually supports the Annual Fund and special campaigns including the new Joseph E. Rhile Endowed Scholarship.

Talmadge was honored during a virtual ceremony on May 1, where he said the following about his passion for giving back: “As I think about philanthropy, there are several causes that I think are very important to invest in; my portfolio includes poverty alleviation in the U.S., social justice, the environment and climate change and education. Why education? I want everybody regardless of background to build a better life through hard work and determination. And therefore I strongly support the Church Farm School mission to provide this high-quality education to students of great character and academic potential regardless of their or their parents’ ability to pay, because I believe education can unlock the barriers to upward mobility.”

After graduating from Church Farm School in 1986—where Talmadge says his first entrepreneurial endeavors began, selling slices of pizza, and even crust, to his peers—he attended Claremont McKenna College and then received his M.B.A. from The Darden School at the University of Virginia. Talmadge went on to co-found MeziMedia, an online comparison shopping and coupon business and was a founding management team member at Goto.com, which was sold to Yahoo in 2003. Currently, he is the co-founder and chair at JuvoPlus, a leading marketplace ecommerce seller, and a co-founder and board member at VivoAquatics, a technology provider in the water industry.

John Grunwell ’60: Giving for Griffins John Grunwell, a 1960 graduate of Church Farm School, has tales to tell. He loves to talk about playing basketball in the “old” gym at CFS, the school’s strong athletic rivalries, how much he learned as a student and then intern with former science teacher “Poss” Earl Wilkins and most of all, he loves to talk about the current student body. Not a fan of the “farm” aspect of the school when he was a student, John is thrilled at the college preparatory education today’s Griffins receive.

He has helped support this education in various ways: a retired chemistry professor, he has donated annually to the school’s STEAM program; a lover of the arts, he frequently supports the school’s strong choir program; a natural mentor, he flew from and back to his home in Georgia in one day to attend a Griffin Scholars luncheon and meet his pen pal, Raphael Tinio ’21, who recognized John in his valedictory address at the Class of 2021 Commencement.

For this, and so much more, the school was proud to honor John with its 2021 Newt Disney ’48 Service Award; he was recognized during a virtual ceremony on May 1.

John is a retired chemistry professor/professor emeritus at Miami University after serving more than 40 years at the institution. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania and his Ph.D. from MIT. He has published about 40 papers in refereed journals.

On a daily basis, John serves as an afterschool caregiver to his granddaughter. He has also volunteered locally as a tutor, and officiated swim meets from 1981-2018.

“Church Farm is the most important donation I can make; partly because the younger you get, the more impact you have. I’m very proud to have been a student, and I’m very proud to contribute,” he says.

Young Alumni Create Start-Ups that Give Back Generation Z is full of promise. More technologically savvy than any other generation, they are using that know-how to benefit society through intuitive and immersive experiences. Two alumni recently approached Church Farm School to discuss their work with technology start-ups that aim to expand the ease with which organizations both educate and fundraise.

JohnDerek Daniels ’15 JohnDerek Daniels ’15 has spent the past few years partnered with peers at Lehigh University (where he majored in computer science) at a Black-owned education technology start-up called Udeesa Systemics & Technology.

Udeesa creates Black history-focused educational tools to support the sustained understanding of Black history and heritage. “Educational tools are changing how people teach and learn about Black history,” JohnDerek says, “but there is a limited understanding of this heritage. Most history focuses on slavery, colonization and civil rights.”

While Udeesa’s CEO and Founder, Asante Asiedu, says this history is critical, it’s important not to overlook the “many areas of great invention, culture and cuisine that are also part of the diaspora.” Coupled with misinformation found in mass media and social media, Udeesa’s goal is to paint a much broader picture. They are achieving this with three main forms of technology: 360-degree photography, virtual reality and augmented reality.

Partnering with travel organizations, university travel abroad programs plus their own trips, Udeesa first created a 360-degree photo archive of significant cultural landscapes which they have built into diverse lesson plans. “Teachers want to teach about Black history but need supporting resources and curricula,” JohnDerek says. They ran pilot programs with the technology in spring 2021 at middle schools (resources are designed for K-12, but have application at the university level too) in Pennsylvania, Texas, California and Connecticut. “With Covid, teachers couldn’t rely on face-to-face interaction as much; our technologies are helping users connect around the world.” Augmented reality adds digital elements to your surroundings and virtual reality headsets let you experience cultural landmarks from your home (like an old-school viewfinder but with much more movement and interaction). Targeted toward educators, nonprofits and families at home, Udeesa’s first product is an immersive storybook based on the African folklore tale,

The team is currently working on their second storybook, which relies more heavily on augmented reality and is supported by an active crowdfunding campaign on IndieGogo. They are also finalizing a portal which will “create a user community of people who want to see Black history more prominently in curriculum.” In 2022, they will seek venture capital funding. “Looking back at my time at Church Farm School,” JohnDerek says, “I always thought the school was forward thinking. We want everyone to have that experience and through primary resources and storytelling, we are able to showcase the real Africa and encourage students to build curiosity and critical thinking skills.” Learn more at udeesa.org.

Christopher Amidon ’16 Christopher Amidon ’16, formerly Kris Kokoronis, came in for a chat with the CFS Development team in June to pitch his new start-up, Lasso. Ever gone grocery shopping and been asked to round up your change to the next whole dollar to benefit a nonprofit? Lasso builds on this concept by allowing users to synch a bank account of choice to a specific charity for a given or indefinite period of time. For example, if you register your account with Lasso and select Church Farm School as your charity, your purchase will be rounded up and the proceeds will go to CFS every time you swipe an associated credit or debit card. “It’s easier to ask for change than round sums,” Chris says. “Donors get an instant rush, and it lowers the barrier of entry into charitable giving. It breaks it down to pennies on dollars.” The funds are charged to the user (along with a monthly $1 transaction fee to Lasso to cover operating expenses) and dispersed monthly to the nonprofit.

Chris says, “Lasso is really seeking to modernize the philanthropy industry by providing tools that allow nonprofits to run more inclusive and cost-effective campaigns.” Lasso integrates with Plaid, a secure, audited and trusted system that is already partnered with most major US-based financial institutions. Lasso is currently in beta testing, and Chris is excited about potential partnerships with national nonprofits, including Church Farm School. “Lasso not only links into the growing trend of conscientious consumption that makes people feel good about tying their purchases into charitable giving, but also gives the host nonprofit more headspace with donors through micro-charitable giving over weeks, months or even years versus a single yearly or quarterly donation.”

These are just two recent examples of alumni taking experiences from their time at Church Farm School and beyond and using them to create technology for the greater good. Have your own story to share? Contact the Development Office at development@gocfs.net.

Revolutionizing College Access Planning: Church Farm School Students Launch College For All Program

“High schoolers from across the nation, many of whom are minorities, find themselves underserved in the college process. They struggle to gain access to resources, and sometimes have opportunities slip through the cracks. We saw this, and knew change was necessary. College For All was founded to diminish these disparities, and to ensure access to fair college guidance.” – College For All website

guide them.” College For All (CFA) was born to address this void. Connor says Nick, the executive director and director of college guidance of CFA, approached him with the idea at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Nick has come to me many times to bounce business ideas off of me. We started with the idea that we needed to build our first class, work out our messaging and start networking with colleges,” Connor says.

On a Friday morning in late June, we caught up with Connor Hirsch ’22 and Kledian Marinaj ’22, two Church Farm School rising seniors who, along with their Class of 2021 peers Nick Torres and Darius Osborne, conceptualized a program by teens, for teens, which would revolutionize the college guidance process. “We know we are extremely fortunate to have an amazing college guidance counselor in Ms. [Tiffany] Scott who has been really supportive of us,” says Kledian. “But we also know that there are a lot of teenagers around the country that don’t have the same kind of access that we do at Church Farm School, or who are first-generation college students, like me, who don’t have their parents to

At the beginning, the small staff didn’t have defined roles and worked as a collective on setting up the technology, building their resource database, networking with like-minded start-ups like First Gen Support and growing their Instagram following. Now, they have (at the time of this writing) a diverse staff of 21 young men and women (including six CFS students and alumni), a robust application process, a strong database of resources, nearly 6,000 Instagram followers and an events schedule. Their first major event in August is the Collab College Fair, which includes about 40 member schools. Their Instagram content is frequent and aims to be “a bit informal in a way that connects with teenagers

navigating the college process,” Kledian says. It is also intentionally informative to students of a variety of ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations and income levels, with stats on typical financial aid awards, level of diversity within the community and key values. Rising seniors are encouraged to apply in August for the CFA Scholar program, then are provided a variety of resources and in-depth support about everything from building a personalized college list to essay writing and benefits of applying for fly-in programs.

So far, the CFA Program has mostly been focused within the United States, but Kledian says there are now five international students in the CFA Scholars Class of 2022. In addition, even if you aren’t old enough to apply, there are enough resources shared every day on Instagram to help any teen on their journey. Kledian says being a founding member has opened his eyes to his own opportunities, particularly the benefits of fly-in programs—all expenses-paid trips to participating colleges. “We saw they weren’t being explained well to our age group or were lacking details, so we created our own database. If you get accepted to a fly-in program, those colleges are already investing in you.” Kledian is a perfect example; he applied and has been accepted to the Dartmouth Bound fly-in program. Adds Connor, “Learning about retention rates and what alumni actually enjoy about a school has an impact. CFA reveals that there is a college and a major out there for everyone.”

What’s next? Connor says he’s really enjoyed learning how to run a “nonprofit” as he hopes to major in business in college, and CFA has given him real, practical experience. “I’m doing something that benefits others while building up my skills; it’s been mutually beneficial.” Asked about future goals, Kledian and Connor say they hope to keep expanding their following, resources and network, while retaining “an environment accessible to everyone.”

In April, Stanford Fraser announced a run for Prince George’s state’s attorney at just 30 years old. Currently a public defender for Prince George’s County, the town where he grew up after moving with his family from St. Croix, Stanford says he is a combination of nervous and excited about facing off against incumbent Aisha Braveboy in the Democratic primary on June 28, 2022.

In the meantime, Stanford is busy with his day job, plus building his team, fundraising and spreading the word, whether that’s posting announcements on social media, chatting with prospective constituents in parking lots or being featured in The Washington Post. His key campaign promises include ending the use of mandatory minimums and the criminalization of poverty and the prosecution of children and adults. “Unfortunately as a public defender, I’ve seen kids prosecuted and charged in adult court. I’ve seen people sit in jail for weeks, only to have their case dismissed on their first trial date. And I’ve seen people plead guilty just to avoid harsh mandatory minimum sentences,” he told the Post.

Stanford can’t remember how he ended up at Church Farm School as a 7th grader, but he does fondly recall his time at the Farm. “I loved playing soccer, basketball and track, bonfire nights and looking for foxes in my environmental biology class.” He enjoyed studying history so much that he majored in it at Howard University, which he selected based on recommendations from CFS coaches and for its proximity to his family, which he had been missing while in Exton for six years.

He always knew he wanted to follow in his parents’ footsteps and become a lawyer or teacher; he applied to Harvard Law School. His work as a public defender since 2017 solidified his passion.

COMMENCEMENT

The Church Farm School Class of 2021: Committing to College Dreams Despite Covid-19 “When I was a freshman, I looked at our seniors and asked, “What did they do to get there?” “Is there a special path I have to take?” Being here, I realize now that they did not get there alone. Here at CFS each student finds their people, their tribe. You meet adults and brothers you didn’t know you needed.” – Raphael Tinio ’21, Valedictorian The 2020-2021 school year has been incomparable.

Certainly, there have been years at Church Farm School fragmented by world wars, civil unrest and economic downturns, but Covid-19, racial injustice and the economy dominated our ability to live and learn in community. We like to say that Church Farm School builds young men of character, and the Class of 2021 exemplified that truism in words and actions. They let their voices be heard frequently, they led their Griffin brothers through uncertain times and most of all, they

committed to their college dreams with fervor. The results speak for themselves.

Raphael Tinio ’21, in his valedictory address, regaled the community yet again with his classical guitar. His words were also a finely curated testament to the power of resilience, trust and brotherhood.

The following are excerpts from Raphael Tinio’s address at the Class of 2021 Commencement: “Before coming to CFS, I was extremely shy. I knew that about myself, and I wanted to change. Not only did the people accept me, but they also encouraged me to be a better version of myself in many ways. In my first year here, there were adults who told me I could thrive here and helped me open up. Later, my biology/chemistry teachers taught me I can find academic success in a field I find intellectually fulfilling. There are too many adults to thank, and over this difficult year, all of you deserve much more gratitude. So on behalf of the students and our families, thank you adults for your resilience and care.

To the students: You are the central part of the community. You influence the school and, most importantly, each other. While adults can help encourage you on your way, nothing is more inspiring than seeing someone your age achieve something. It’s seeing one of us breaking records on the field, getting a near perfect SAT or plainly watching someone put in the hours. Knowing you personally is motivating. You’re the reason this place is called a field of dreams. Our community being so small means that our connections here are that much more meaningful.

The moment we graduate, the awards, achievements and recognitions are merely that and they’ll stay here. Only the four years of connections, trust and brotherhood will follow us into the future.”

Congratulations to the Class of 2021!

in a supportive and diverse learning environment. By supporting the school as a volunteer and member of the alumni executive committee, I value seeing the continued impact that the school makes on the world, one student at a time.”

Todd Elliott ’80 “CFS has taken huge strides forward. It is trying to mold young men to be successful, but also compassionate, not just about people but about our planet. They are focused on creating a whole, vibrant person who is going to be able to contribute to the society and the world.”

Christopher Gibbs ’88 “My CFS experiences led me to believe, think, feel and embrace that I can do anything I set my mind to.

Church Farm School has a specific, clear and focused mission to help young men become productive, responsible contributors to our great society.”

Dozie Mbonu ’88, Vice President “I give back to the Church Farm School because it’s the only environment growing up where I’ve really experienced unconditional peace, love and happiness without judgement. There is absolutely no place like CFS on earth!”

David Zimmerman ’88, President “The Church Farm School experience shaped who I am as a person. I discovered new talents, stretched well beyond my comfort zone and personally enjoyed every aspect of the brotherhood. I give back to provide more opportunity for boys of promise and need and hope they too can benefit from this one-of-a-kind learning institution.”

NEW FACULTY

Meet Our New Team Church Farm School welcomes new faculty members for the 2021-2022 school year.

MARGARET VAN STEENWYK is joining CFS administration as Assistant Head of School and Director of Academic Affairs. As part of the school’s senior leadership team, Margaret will play an integral role, responsible for the academic curriculum and all instruction; the school’s annual and daily schedule; and oversight of all academic/technology staff, department chairs, faculty recruitment, professional development, performance and evaluation and the student advisory program.

Margaret brings more than 30 years of educational experience to Church Farm School, having worked in a variety of private school settings as a teacher and administrator; most recently, she has been Head of the Upper School at The Shipley School since 2012.

“The work for all educators at this time is inspiring, energizing and exhausting all at once. I am convinced that the education landscape will be significantly changed by Covid-19, and I feel the last six months have made me ready to take on the opportunity of leading Church Farm’s faculty in efforts to support school improvement and exemplary 21st century teaching and learning,” says Margaret.

BRANDON HERBERT joins the Church Farm School administrative team as the Director of Enrollment Management. In this role, he will recruit high-achieving young men entering grades 9-12 to the school’s college preparatory boarding and day programs. Prior to Church Farm School, Brandon was the Director of Admission and Financial Aid at Girard College in Philadelphia, as well as the Director of the D.R.E.E.A.M.S (Diversity, Resilience, English, Engineering, Arts, Math and Science) Program for rising sixth through ninth grade students at Girard College and The Philadelphia School. “Church Farm has an incredible mission that supports the holistic growth of young men within a diverse learning environment.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020-2021

My own educational experience aligns directly with the mission, and I see myself in the young men that CFS serves,” says Brandon.

Also joining Church Farm School’s administrative team is SUNI K. BLACKWELL. As the Director of Athletics, Suni will run the school’s vibrant athletic program, which offers 24 teams for 11 sports. Suni comes to Church Farm School with vast experience; he was the Director of Athletics for Cheltenham School District and Delaware County Community College, and the founding Director of Athletics at Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School. “I am humbled and honored for this opportunity to join the Church Farm family and lead its athletic programs.

Together, we will provide our student-athletes with the highest quality academic, athletic and social experiences. Our athletic programs will be a tool used to teach life lessons and develop the whole student in and out of the classroom. The Church Farm School athletic programs will continue to grow and represent the school’s core values of respect, responsibility, integrity and brotherhood,” says Suni.

Finally, DAVID JOHNSON is the new Chair of Church Farm School’s STEAM Program. In this role, David will build upon the school’s robust STEAM curriculum to create an engaging learning environment for students that bridges the science, math, engineering, arts and math disciplines. David has taught science at The Wyndcroft School, Montgomery County Community College and the Chester County Intermediate Unit. “Church Farm School has been very welcoming to me and supportive of inquiry-based instruction. The community has immense capacity for innovative research and design along with a deeply devoted faculty. I am excited for the upcoming school year.”

GRIFFINS SOAR

Acclimating New Students to CFS Culture and Community The past year was challenging for educators and students all over the world. In the era of Covid-19, consistency was nearly impossible, and many schools were constantly changing between remote, in-person or hybrid learning models. Teachers did the best they could to adapt to evolving circumstances, but the reality is that, most likely, some learning was lost. In anticipation of this, along with Church Farm School’s desire to acclimate new students to the unique culture and community that boarding school offers, incoming freshmen will be participating in Griffins Summer Orientation and Academic Readiness (SOAR) Program.

A collaboration between the academics and student life teams, and headed by 9th grade chair Bob Warfel and 10th grade chair Rabi Young, SOAR aims to inculcate CFS norms while helping our new Griffins transition back into a learning mindset.

Griffins SOAR commences on August 22, giving ninth graders two weeks on campus before their peers arrive for orientation. At the center of the experience, Rabi says, is a design challenge project that will “reinforce fundamental language and mathematics skills.” Using the “Profile of a CFS Graduate,” the SOAR team—which

includes a handful of adult and student mentors—will teach Social Emotional Learning (SEL), critical thinking and other curricula designed to grow our Griffins into the profile.

In between will be lots of fun, including excursions around the area. We can’t wait to welcome our new Griffins to CFS!

LETTER FROM DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT

The Development Team prepares for its first-ever Virtual Gala.

A

s you read this Annual Report and pause to reflect on the past year, it will be hard to imagine any other year like 2020-21. I know, in my

lifetime there has not been a more challenging time.

This past year, everyone has been forced to make tough choices that have impacted our families, friends, colleagues and our personal and professional lifestyles.

Our country has engaged in major societal issues that have divided some, but have united many. Respect, honor, courage and strength are not just buzzwords, but ideas, that have represented the stories of our diverse citizenship. Our country’s leadership was challenged; in fact, our very idea of a free society was challenged. There were record high temperatures in many climates that changed natural landscapes forever, and then there is the Covid-19 virus. One of the smallest entities known to science and it has changed the lives of over 6 billion people on planet Earth. Yes, this has certainly been a most challenging year for all of us.

This past year has also been a year of hope, goodness and compassion. Many of our generous donors made it possible to exceed our $6.5 million Capital Campaign goal, enabling us to provide high-level facilities for our current and incoming students. In a year of seemingly little possibilities, completing and exceeding our goal was truly amazing.

Thanks to many of you, we continued to tell the Church Farm School story through virtual methods. We connected with more alumni throughout the country this year than ever before, as our former students were excited to re-connect, over Zoom, with old friends and faculty. They were all full of compassion for their fellow Griffins. Out of this compassion came hope for new projects. One being the creation of Church Farm School’s first-ever endowed scholarship, the Joseph E. Rhile Scholarship, which will provide an annual student scholarship in honor of a beloved former faculty member and coach.

This fall, Church Farm School is planning to be completely open with all students on campus. This means we will once again be building and telling new and compelling stories of our students’ successes, hopes and dreams. We are also planning to gather on campus with CFS family and friends on October 16 to dedicate the new buildings, and celebrate our full return to campus. I hope that you will plan to join us.

There are so many reasons and ways to support our organization, I invite you to reach out to us and learn how you can continue to be part of this great story that is called the Church Farm School.

Stay safe!

CFS Ambassadors Give Back Selflessly MARY AND BRUCE WILSON During our Virtual Alumni Weekend Awards Ceremony on May 1, we were pleased to bestow our 2021 J. Tyler Griffin Award for Ambassadorship to Bruce and Mary Wilson. The Wilsons’ efforts on behalf of CFS are vast: underwriting annual attendance for faculty and students to the Global Citizenship Institute at St. Mark’s School each summer; co-chairing our Gala for many years; participating in our Griffin Scholars Program; and spreading the word about the school through various avenues including their annual Christmas Party featuring the CFS Choir! In addition, Bruce is on the school’s Leadership Council and served on our Capital Campaign Taskforce.

Finally, they have offered many fundraising challenges which have made a difference at Church Farm School; during the 2021 Virtual Gala, they donated $10,000 once we met our goal—helping us to raise more than $50,000 for our Faculty and Staff Support Initiative. Congratulations, Bruce and Mary! We appreciate your ambassadorship!

ANGEL VASQUEZ ’21 Angel Vasquez ’21 was only at Church Farm School for three years, but he made a big impact in that short time.

That impact was recognized during our end of year events, first with his being named the recipient of the James Tate Class of 1952 Award for Ambassadorship, and then with his receiving the Headmaster’s Watch at Commencement.

Both awards have a common theme—the young man who represents Church Farm School with the most enthusiasm for our core values of respect, responsibility, integrity and brotherhood.

Said Head of School Ned Sherrill, “A longstanding and well-respected leader amongst his peers, this young man always brings positive energy to everything that he does in the classroom and all around campus. Not only has he excelled in the classroom, but he has also excelled outside of class making the most of every opportunity to grow as a contributor to school life and seeking to do whatever he could to make the experience of those around him richer and more rewarding. Rather than wait, he is one to take initiative leading the blood drive, performing community service, participating in STEAM and DECA clubs, singing in choir, helping out other students as a prefect, volunteering during chapel or giving a tour to prospective students and their families. As his advisor put it so well, he always seems to be doing something that makes CFS a better place and he does it with a big smile.”

We wish Angel well as he heads to Rochester Institute of Technology next year, where we are certain great things are in store for him (and them!).

JOE RHILE ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP

Memorial/Honorary Gifts

Church Farm School is pleased and grateful to announce that the 20202021 fiscal year saw the creation of its first-ever endowed scholarship.

An anonymous benefactor, inspired by the transformational impact of long-term faculty member Joe Rhile, generously offered the majority of philanthropic support necessary to establish a permanently endowed scholarship in his name. More than 80 alumni, former faculty, family and friends then added their support to the fund as well, cumulatively raising more than $125,000 and successfully establishing the Joseph E. Rhile Endowed Scholarship Fund.

The following gifts have been made in recognition of others.

Joe worked at CFS from 1965–2008 as a history and Driver’s Ed teacher, as well as a varsity wrestling coach. A true role model for a myriad of young men, an alumnus of the school stated, “Joe left a lasting impression: in the classroom, as our Driver’s Ed teacher, stacking bales of hay on a flatbed truck, playing water polo in the pool, delivering sermons at the chapel using a piece of rope as a prop to deliver a tangible message and, last but certainly not least, in the wrestling room on a mat or in the locker room on one knee before every wrestling match reciting The Lord’s Prayer.” Church Farm School is grateful to all who came together to honor Joe’s 40+ years of service to the school in this special way.

Zenobia and Charles Ball

For more information about the Joseph E. Rhile Endowed Scholarship, establishing a new endowed fund or other ways in which you can have a transformational impact at Church Farm School and the experience we offer our students, please contact Jon Knorr, Director of Development, at jknorr@gocfs.net.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020-2021

SHREINER SOCIETY PROFILE

Kathryn “Kitty” Strang

K

athryn “Kitty” Strang and her late husband, Tom, have been supporting Church Farm School’s Annual Fund since 1980. When Tom’s father passed away when he was 14 years old, his mother thought Church Farm School might help her son get on track.

“Tom was not an early morning person, and the idea of slopping the pigs and working in the fields did not appeal to him; he talked his mother into letting him attend public school.” Tom vowed to support Church Farm School when he was financially able in gratitude for not becoming an alumnus. The story is comical, and Kitty, who finally was able to tour the campus a few years ago, has kept up (and even stepped up) donations, even after Tom passed in 2008.

“We always donated at Christmastime, and the scrapple we would receive was always enjoyed for breakfast. Then we kept expanding, to Easter and usually at the beginning of the school year, when the boys need extra things.” Redoing her will three years ago, Kitty made bequests to organizations that mean a lot to her and Tom; Church Farm School, the American Red Cross (Kitty donates platelets twice monthly) and Feed the Children in Oklahoma.

Kitty, who grew up in Lower Merion and now resides in Newtown Square, worked almost her entire life (“39 years and one day so I could say I started my 40th year) at Quaker Chemical Corporation in environmental health and safety. She has watched her own family struggle this year with education during the pandemic, and says she is pleased at the hard work that Church Farm School has done to keep its students’ learning at the forefront.

SHREINER SOCIETY SPONSORS The Shreiner Society recognizes alumni and friends of Church Farm School who make a lasting commitment to the school through legacy giving and including CFS in their estate planning.

“I’m thrilled that Church Farm School has grown so much, enhanced the campus and expanded the programs for the kids.”
