Dear FCDS Community, As you read through the pages of the FCDS Annual Report, I hope that you will be as struck as I am by the depth of support for our school. More than numbers, the information reflects a community that is engaged, involved, and invested. At back-to-school night I spoke about character development and how it is part of our Strategic Plan. There is a strong emphasis at Country Day on creating a balanced curriculum for our boys. Equally as important to academic growth is our emphasis on our students’ moral growth. The school-wide stewardship program provides age-appropriate community service opportunities for students to address the needs of others while learning about underlying social issues.
Letter from the Headmaster John R. Munro, Jr.
The goal of the stewardship program encourages students to engage in activities that enhance their leadership skills and develop strong character traits such as empathy, patience, open-mindedness, and courage. Starting in Pre-Kindergarten, boys are involved in a myriad of service projects. Last year, our fourth graders donated over 500 gently used books to Barnum School in Bridgeport and U.S. Africa Partnership; the ninth grade delivered twenty-four heavy boxes of food to the Mercy Learning Center; the sixth grade boys formed a strong partnership with the students at the Adam J. Lewis Preschool in Bridgeport; and through the hoop/ skate-a-thon the boys raised $13,885 for the Make-a-Wish Foundation. By participating in hands-on service projects, we hope to instill a passion for service in our boys that will last a lifetime. I look forward to the year ahead as we continue to develop the “whole boy”: socially, emotionally, and morally. Thank you for your generosity and for sharing the lesson of giving with your family. It is with gratitude and a humble spirit that I share with you the 2014-2015 Annual Report. Sincerely, John R. Munro, Jr. Headmaster
2 FCDS Annual Report 2014-15
Letter from the Treasurer Alan Offenberg
Dear FCDS Family and Friends, I am pleased to present you with a report on FCDS’ 2014-2015 fiscal year. This was a very solid year for us with strong enrollment, an enhanced curriculum, continued investment in human resources and physical infrastructure, and tremendous support for the Annual Fund. We are thankful for the dedication and involvement of the entire FCDS community, and sincerely appreciate your continued support of the School. FCDS’ financial performance continues to be healthy, and the commitment to conservative oversight of the School’s finances remains a hallmark of the Board of Trustees. In addition, we achieved meaningful progress towards meeting the goals outlined in the 2014-2019 Strategic Plan, which will enable FCDS to maintain its current standard of excellence and position the School for long-term success. The School’s secure financial position is reliant on several components. At the top of that list for any independent school is enrollment, and I’m thrilled to report that enrollment at FCDS is robust and growing. The investments made over the last several years in the School’s physical plant, faculty and administrators, as well as the continued advancement of our stellar curriculum have strengthened FCDS’ already sound position. However, ongoing support from the FCDS community is essential since successfully achieving our objectives for FCDS requires resources beyond those provided by tuition.
Moving forward, your continued, consistent support of the Annual Fund and Capital Campaigns will be essential for us to better serve our boys and expand the opportunities available to them as part of the Country Day experience. As we move into 2015-2016, we maintain our commitment to preserve FCDS’ vigorous financial performance by conservatively managing the School’s finances while providing the faculty and administration with the resources required to deliver an exceptional education to your boys. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, faculty, administration, and the boys, thank you for your dedication and generosity to Fairfield Country Day. Sincerely, Alan Offenberg Treasurer FCDS Annual Report 2014-15 3

75th Anniversary Campaign A Look Back
Completed Capital Projects
The 2014-2015 school year marked the closing of the 75th Anniversary Capital Campaign. Through the generosity of everyone who participated, we not only exceeded our goal for this Campaign, but we were able to complete many of the capital improvements that were necessary to improve the experience for today’s boys and ensure a solid foundation for the future of Country Day.
Your support made it possible for us to: ■■ Renovate and expand the Middle School and Science Wing ■■ Build the Cliff Paige ’62 Learning Commons ■■ Enhance the Professional Development Program ■■ Increase our Endowment The 75th Anniversary Capital Campaign, which included the Paige ’62 Legacy Fund, made it possible for us to grow our endowment, which is necessary to fund new program development, support faculty salaries and benefits, increase our ability to build financial partnerships with qualified students, and provide the school with the flexibility to meet needs as they arise.

Finley and Patrick joined our community in 2007. They are the proud parents of alum Malcolm ’16 and current student, Chappy ’21. Finley is unable to say no when it comes to volunteering at FCDS. She has been an active member of the Parents’ Association for several years and helps run the Crusaders’ Corner. She co-chaired our 2014 Spring Gala and helped run the Middle and Upper School dances last year. We look forward to having her on board as the new co-chair of the PA for the 2015-16 school year. She never seems to rest! Patrick joined the Board of Trustees in 2010. During the past two years, Patrick has served as the Board’s Vice President and chaired our Governance Committee. He also successfully coordinated the development of our new Strategic Plan, and now co-chairs the Implementation Committee that will guarantee that we successfully execute the goals of the Strategic Plan. The Shaw’s have been incredibly generous to Country Day. They support the Annual Fund every year and were leaders in our 75th Anniversary Campaign. We are thankful to them for making FCDS a priority and setting such a wonderful example for our boys.

The FCDS Annual Fund â&#x20AC;&#x201C; What is it? Like most independent schools, Fairfield Country Day School conducts an annual appeal each school year to raise unrestricted funds that are allocated to the operating budget of the school. These funds help to close the gap between tuition income and operating expenses. Gifts to the Annual Fund account for approximately 4% of our operating needs and help to ensure that FCDS is able to provide each boy with the remarkable opportunities that are the hallmarks of the Country Day experience. Every student benefits from the Annual Fund. For more information on the Annual Fund and other frequently asked questions, please visit: www.fairfieldcountryday.org/Philanthropy or contact the Development Office at 203-259-2723.

Cliff Paige ’62 Retires as Head of Upper School The End of an Era The 2014-2015 school year marked Cliff Paige’s final year as the Head of Upper School. Cliff has been part of the FCDS family for more than sixty years — twenty-eight of them as a teacher and administrator. He has touched the lives of many, which was evident in the celebrations for Cliff throughout last year. Alumni, parents, past parents, and friends wrote memories and notes that were compiled and put into an album for Cliff. There was a constant theme among all the notes — Cliff had impacted their lives. He was touted as a wonderful teacher, mentor, coach, and friend. Cliff’s impact on the community is evident in all the ways in which people wanted to celebrate and honor him. In addition to the memory book, faculty wrote and recited poems about Cliff, the holiday concerts were dedicated to him, alumni returned for his last graduation, the spring gala reflected Cliff’s love of Miami, and there were even large cardboard cut-outs of Cliff’s head at our sports games! It is hard to adequately recognize a man who gave so much to FCDS. From the hours he spent creating the schedule to the relationships he formed with students and faculty, Cliff is a legend who will forever be remembered for his impact at FCDS. When Cliff was asked to reflect back on this past year at FCDS this is what he had to say:
“My last year at Fairfield Country Day School was a wonderful experience in so many different ways. We had a great ninth grade, an exceptional faculty and staff, and lots of ’Country Day‘ spirit.”
“My year began with a great math class, an exceptional soccer team, a vibrant e-blotter staff, and friends who supported and cared about me in every way possible. I was determined to take the time to appreciate all the details of my job, and it was very easy to do this. I put a little extra effort into the schedule, the daily lunch seatings, the e-blotter, Bingo night, and the Valentine’s assembly. I enjoyed every minute of the public speaking contests, the concerts, the Miami trip, and the musical.”
“The Beach Boys concert with my friends, the Parents’ Association gala, and graduation were fantastic times for me to reflect on an incredible period of my life. My time at FCDS began in September of 1954 when I was a 1st grader. What a great journey it has been.” FCDS Annual Report 2014-15 21
Cliff Paige ’62 Fund We are thrilled to honor Cliff Paige ’62 by creating an endowed fund in his name. Cliff has been part of the FCDS family for more than sixty years and has touched the lives of many. He has played a significant role in the success of Country Day, from maintaining cherished traditions, such as the student-faculty lunches and walking through the Blue Door, to implementing cutting edge practices such as laptop integration with our curriculum. Cliff embodies the mission of Country Day each and every day. It brings us great pride to establish a fund in his honor. The Paige ’62 Legacy Fund, which began as part of the 75th Anniversary Capital Campaign, is an endowed fund that will support our talented faculty and staff in ways above and beyond professional development. We have already put it to good use by completing much needed renovations to some of our faculty housing. The fund honors Cliff’s legacy and provides necessary support to our teachers, who in turn support our boys and guide their character development and academic growth. The resources from the Paige ’62 Legacy Fund will dramatically impact our faculty experience, just as Cliff has impacted countless lives throughout his vibrant career at Country Day.

FCDS Parents’ Association FCDS parents play a critical role in their sons’ education and in the success of the School. Recognizing the importance of the parent/school relationship, the FCDS Parents’ Association has created a strong partnership so that families feel connected to the School. The PA actively encourages parent participation and offers many ways to get involved. From the speaker series to the Book Fair, being a room parent, helping in the Learning Commons, or attending and helping at PA sponsored social events; there are a number of opportunities available to suit your schedule and interests. Parents often say that their own lives, along with their sons’, are enriched by giving back.
Parents’ Association Spring 2015 Fundraiser What a night! More than 300 people attended the Parents’ Association Spring Gala to honor and celebrate FCDS icon, Cliff Paige ’62. Event chair, Amy Whiteley, with the help of fellow parents Siri Burki and Shari Jones, and grandparent Chickie Fay, truly captured the spirit of Cliff with their Miami themed event which featured live music, food trucks, and even a small beach.
