Dear EMS Community,
were given at the Little School entrance this year.
Thank you for your many contributions to The Elisabeth Morrow School last year. Your support of our school, its mission and our vision for the future is meaningful, essential and deeply appreciated. Together, this year, we have raised the bar for the Apple Tree Fund both in participation and in overall dollars raised. We are also deeply appreciative of the culture of volunteerism at EMS, which is unparalleled and all the more amazing considering that our families come from over 56 different towns and cities. EMS is now a community that reflects the world that our children will experience for the rest of their lives. While their experiences in that world will no doubt include success in rigorous and competitive schools after they leave our bucolic campus, our role while they are here is not merely to educate them fully, but also to help them discover passions that allow them to achieve success on their own terms. At EMS, it is not unusual for a student to be in the orchestra, play two sports, write for the literary magazine and participate in math competitions. In a world where students are increasingly told to specialize, we give children room to explore and innovate while great attention is paid to their intellectual, moral and social-emotional development.
17
different instruments were featured in the Festival of the Arts.
While our students are at the center of all that we do, none of what we do is possible without your generous support always, and in all ways. Your passion for this school is inspiring, and our gratitude for that commitment is unwavering. My best, Aaron Cooper Head of School

The Board of Trustees 2014-2015
Dear Friends, This year, the Apple Tree Fund was so successful that “thank you” is an understatement of my gratitude. Over 80% of current parents as well as alumni and parents of alumni responded to our fundraising efforts this year. Such depth of giving reflects an appreciation of our School’s mission and those faculty, staff and administration who actualize it every day. This giving enables EMS to continue to hire and develop professional and caring faculty. It also supports a variety of extraordinary resources for our community, including expenditures for integrated technology, increased campus safety and instructional field trips. Strength of giving is a sure sign of a strong community. The culture of philanthropy is growing at EMS, as evidenced by the upward trend in the total amount raised as well as the percentage of parent participation. We are extremely proud that, while united in appreciation of EMS’ academic and extracurricular strengths, our families represent an incredible diversity of cultural, religious and professional backgrounds. When everyone joins in giving back, both monetarily and through extreme volunteerism, the combined effort is incredible. Our outstanding International Festival this year was just one manifestation of this effort. The Board of Trustees has worked diligently to support the mission of EMS and to plan for the future. We will continue these efforts and we will continue to be thankful for your support of our outstanding school. Sincerely, Rosemary Mills Russell President, Board of Trustees

Parents Association The Parents Association promotes the goals of The Elisabeth Morrow School by working with the parents, faculty, students, administration and Board of Trustees for the benefit of the School and its students. This group of dedicated parent volunteers plans the Book Fair as well as many other events, runs the School Store and sponsors several parent education workshops throughout the year. With the monies raised throughout the year by the PA, a significant gift was made to broaden the scope of technology use and instruction in both lower and middle school.

Nominating Chair
Letter from the Parents Association President A special thank you to our outgoing president, Jodee Fink. Her hard work and tireless effort are directly responsible for the many successes that the Parents Association enjoyed. Jodee, we will miss you! Thank you, too, to all the parents, coming from across the George Washington Bridge or around the corner, who have volunteered selflessly to support our school in all it does to provide a rigorous education and sense of community for our children. You have worked long hours as class parents, committee chairs and parent volunteers. From the Hospitality Tent and Book Fair through Cocoa Parties and Field Day and Graduation, your work and dedication is a valued gift. We are gratified that initiatives co-sponsored by the PA to meet new families’ needs, such as the Family Buddy Program, organized by Shabri Mitta, and the Working Parents’ Group, spearheaded by Kara Cooper, were a hit! Our hope for the coming year is to continue to combine progress and cuttingedge advances with the warm traditions that make our community such a special place. Sincerely, Adela Waymouth Skinner President, Parents Association
