George School Annual Report 2008-2009

With Quaker tradition as its touchstone and academic excellence at its core, George School seeks to develop citizen-scholars cheerfully committed to openness in the pursuit of truth, to service and peace, and to the faithful stewardship of the earth. We want our students to treasure learning for its own sake and to use it to benefit a diverse world. Above all, we want them to “let their lives speak.�

Letter from the head of school nancy starmer

Head of School Nancy Starmer, Jack Starmer, and Elanor Starmer pause on their way to Sunday meeting for worship.

At a time of considerable world challenges I feel particularly blessed to be able to report that, thanks to your continued strong support and the efforts of all members of the George School community, the education that we are providing our students at George School is as strong as ever.

Highlights of the 2008-2009 school year included full implementation of the changes that came from of the school’s multi-year curriculum review. One particularly exciting new program is a two-year sequence of required ninth and tenth grade religion courses. A number of other new courses have been added as well, many in the International Baccalaureate Program, which has been significantly expanded and enriched.

Changes in our schedule and requirements have resulted in increases in the number of science and arts courses taken by George School students.

The George School Committee, the school’s governing board, approved a strategic plan that will guide the school’s strategic initiatives for the next five years. The goals will guide us in six areas: ensuring that we provide transformative educational experiences grounded in Friends values, enhancing our distinction as an inclusive educational community by challenging ourselves to address difficult questions raised by diversity in all its dimension, recognizing the pressing need for us to integrate environmental stew-

ardship in our lives and in planning for the school, improving facilities to provide the best physical tools to advance student learning, continuing to demonstrate leadership in financial aid, and creating new processes for fundraising and financial planning.

The most exciting new development in the academic arena at George School this past year has been the construction of our new Learning Commons and Mollie Dodd Anderson Library. The building, which is a model of environmental sustainability, will house five new classrooms, a fully-equipped learning center, space for the school’s archives, and, a well-designed and wonderfully staffed library with spectacular spaces for study, research, and reflection.

The school year also was highlighted by receipt of a generous Educational Leadership Grant from the Edward E. Ford Foundation. Remarkably, the $250,000 challenge grant was matched with new or increased gifts to the Annual Fund in just a few months. The Educational Leadership Grant (and the very hard work of a dedicated group of teachers, staff, and friends) made it possible for George School to launch its first summer Global Service Program in early July. Growing out of the school’s long and distinguished history of faculty-led international service trips, this summer’s pilot program began with an intensive Faculty Institute for Global Service for twenty-two

"We would not be able to provide our students with the extraordinary teachers, the rich opportunities, or the remarkable community that we have here without your ongoing belief and commitment." teachers from all over the nation, followed by service opportunities in two areas of the world that have been devastated by natural disasters—the eastern region of Cuba and Sichuan Province in China.

Like their former teachers, George School graduates are also distinguished by their commitment to service. This was particularly evident at this year’s all-alumni gathering during Alumni Weekend. Alumni Award recipients David Rutstein ’74 and Karen Callaway Williams ’84 were recognized not only for their contributions in their professional fields (David in public health and Karen in dance) but also for extraordinary service to others. This year’s gathering also honored Carolyn Waghorne, parent ’99, with the school’s first Distinguished Service Award both for her contributions to George School (she and her husband Rick inspired and funded the school’s recent curriculum review) and for her work with a wide variety of charities, particularly the National Meningitis Association. In addition, we were very proud to learn that Lael Brainard ’79 was nominated this spring to serve the nation as undersecretary for international affairs in the U.S. Treasury Department.

George School students also were active in a number of service and environmental initiatives this past year as well. I am very proud to say that three of them were among the first one hundred high school students

across the United States selected as U.S. Green Schools Fellows by the Green Schools Alliance. George School students are a committed, hard working, energetic, thoughtful, and active group of young people, and I am grateful to be among them every day!

In this year of economic turmoil, I am particularly grateful for the support that all of you have given to George School so that we could reach, and slightly exceed, our annual fund goal of $1,050,000, an increase over last year. We would not be able to provide our students with the extraordinary teachers, the rich opportunities, or the remarkable community that we have here without your ongoing belief and commitment. On behalf of all of the current students, staff, and faculty of George School, thank you.

Nancy Starmer Head of School

ADMISSION A Year of Innovation

Our admission year has been very successful and filled with innovation. As a result, we expect to start the 2009-2010 school year with a full enrollment of 540 students. We also increased financial aid to more than $6 million with the goal of helping returning families in this difficult economic time, while still providing financial aid for newly enrolled families.

An admission office’s job is to attract and enroll students. Fortunately for us, George School is a unique and exciting place to share with others. When we speak with prospective students and their families, we tell George School students’ stories. We explain how our curriculum and a Quaker ethos are a natural pair and we allow students to envision their inner artist or athlete, activist or scientist. We help applicants and their families come into an understanding of who we are. Where we have best explained this is on a page of our website where we say, “For us, it’s not enough for students to acquire great knowledge about great things and be truly prepared for college. It’s not enough for them to make strides in social development, creative talent, and athletic ability. Yes, we push our students to do all these things. But we also press them to look deep inside, to find and clarify their authentic selves, to blossom intellectually, personally, and spiritually.”

Every year, George School enjoys the position of attracting families from all over the world. We often ask them, “Why are you interested in George School?” There are two reasons we hear most often: • We are a Friends school. Families tell us our core values are communicated in our curriculum, in our diversity, in our treatment of the environment, in our commitment to service, and more.

• We offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program. Families tell us the IB Program’s reputation and promise of college preparedness are important draws.

We also often wonder, “Why did you choose to enroll?” Again, our curricular offerings and the fact that we are a Friends school top the list. We also hear about: • Our beautiful campus.

• The serenity of our meetinghouse.

• Our arts and sports possibilities.

• Our many domestic and international service opportunities.

At the center of this year’s Admission Office success is the integrated use of technology within our admission process. Perhaps the most exciting part of this technology is our new website. It is informative, playful, and interactive. When visitors come to campus, they always comment on how the website has helped them easily learn who we are.

Prospective families who visit the website are drawn into our community—they want to know more about George School as a community of thinkers, athletes, artists, and world citizens.

This year’s innovation has also meant we have moved our admission processes online and made them easily available to applicants. For the first time, families can apply online. In addition, families from all over the world log in to a personal admission section of our secure portal and watch their application folder build toward completion. In addition, our new portal allows us to post admission decisions in real time and permits families to deposit online, confirming their acceptance. More than onethird of our applicants logged in to our portal at midnight on the deadline date to get their admission decision the moment it was posted, and we began to get their online enrollment deposits that same week.

Internally, this innovation has allowed us to track applications and all of our communication with applicants and their families electronically. Finally, we moved much of our communication with families, both domestically and internationally, to a combination of email and website content, speeding information delivery and eliminating the need for additional printing and postage.

Our new website, secure portal, and online and email-driven admission processes have been the key features of this year of innovation. As a result: • We will be fully enrolled when we open in the fall with 540 students.

• Applications completed at the deadline increased by more than 30 percent.

• Boarding applications have increased by more than 50 percent.

• International geographic diversity of incoming students has increased.

ACADEMICS A Year of Achievement

The 2008-09 academic year marked the second implementation phase of changes stemming from our recent five-year curriculum review. The biggest changes this year were the introduction of a new daily schedule and a freshman religion curriculum, which included an extensive introduction to major world religions, core Quaker principles, and the school’s service program. For their service program introduction, students worked side by side with their teacher and peer leaders to do co-op work in the dining room.

We also made some significant changes to the sophomore religion curriculum and introduced several other new courses: IB World History, standard level; IB Biology, higher level; Chinese 2; IB Chinese Literature and Composition; Fundamentals of Music History, Theory, and Style; and, Elements of Art. For the 2009-10 school year we will add Chinese 3 and two new Religion electives: Cosmology and the Bible through Popular Culture.

School more environmentally sustainable, Caitlin Brimmer ’10, Andrea Lindsay ’11, and Rex Roskos ’11 were named U.S. Green Schools Fellows and were invited to participate in the first-ever National Student Climate and Conservation Congress.

Science teacher Chris Odom led three teams from his robotics classes to the sixteenth annual Fire-Fighting Robot Competition, capturing prizes totaling $1,400 in several divisions. Team members included Eric Engelhardt ’09, Checkie Chu ’09, and Chun Wang ’10 on the Flash team; Ernest Haines ’09, Jake Vingless ’09, Kabir Chopra ’09, Miranda Tarlini ’09, John Henneman ’09, and Jarron Speller ’09 on the Space Oddity team; and Sam Chang ’10 and Dan Kolbman ’11 on the Xin team. The Flash team entered the walking robot competition as the first-ever high school team in that division and finished second, ahead of a team from MIT. All prize money was donated to the robotics program.

Outstanding Scholars

Service

Our students have continued to distinguish themselves academically. One hundred and nine IB certificate and diploma candidates (including a record number of thirty-seven seniors) took 334 examinations in twenty-one different subjects. Thirty-one were awarded diplomas. In addition, 121 students took 166 AP examinations in 18 different subjects.

Six seniors were named Commended Students in the 2008 National Merit Scholarship Program, and seniors Josh McGowan and Kevin Miller were named finalists. Kevin was also named an Edward J. Bloustein Distinguished Scholar by the State of New Jersey’s Higher Education Student Assistance Authority.

Zachary Martinez ’09 was named a Scholar in the 2008-09 National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP), and seniors Anaka Allen and David Balme received Honorable Mentions in the program. Morgan Humphrey ’09 was named an Outstanding Participant in the National Achievement Scholarship Program to honor Black American high school students.

Brynnah McFarland ’09 earned a Silver Medal in the General Writing Portfolio category of The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. For their work to make George

Our dedicated faculty continues to offer innovative opportunities for our students, above and beyond the demands of their standard teaching schedules. Fourteen teachers led groups of students on two-week service trips to Arizona, coastal Mississippi, France, New Orleans, Nicaragua, Vietnam, and Washington D.C. during the spring and summer breaks.

Under the guidance of Pauline Forest, George School launched its Faculty Institute for Global Service with trips to Cuba and China. The faculty institute is part of the Global Service Program that was made possible in part through an Educational Leadership Grant from the Edward E. Ford Foundation in 2008. The Global Service Program is designed to enhance the scope and quality of international service trips for secondary students by providing training programs for adult leaders and transformation experiences for students. The student component will begin in 2010.

Arts

orchestra, and choral performances. They surrounded us throughout the year with evidence of their artistic talent in painting, drawing, photography, woodworking, and ceramics, and produced a wonderful Opus yearbook and great issues of the Curious George newspaper, and Argo literary magazine. One student was accepted into County Chorus. Seven students had photographs accepted into the Phillips’ Mill exhibition and Julian Abramson ’11, Eliot Bassett-Cann ’09, Checkie Chu ’09, Lydia Spence ’10, and Hannah Young ’11 had their artwork exhibited in the Drexel University Photography Contest. Zach Martinez ’09, Kevin Simone ’11, Dylan Sio ’09, Keith Irwin ’09, John Keenan ’09, Sam Kelly ’09, Alex ’09, Kyle Scott ’09, Olivia Burns ’09, and Aiden Schmidtberger ’10 had woodworking pieces accepted into the student section of the Philadelphia Furniture Show.

Athletics Two varsity teams, girls’ soccer and coed golf, won the Friends Schools League (FSL) championships this year. The boys’ tennis team was a finalist. Boys’ soccer and softball reached the semi-finals, and two other teams, wrestling and boys’ lacrosse, participated in tiebreaker games for FSL playoffs.

Girls’ cross country and girls’ swimming earned third place team honors. Boys’ track finished in fourth place in the FSL and girls’

track (undefeated in the league in regular season) earned second place at the championships. Girls’ track also placed second as a team in the State Independent Schools Championship. This impressive team broke numerous school records.

Senior wrestler Sam Kelly went undefeated in dual meets this season (14-0), receiving the Criscom Trophy for his accomplishments. Melissa Chavez ’09 received the Hispanic Heritage Youth bronze medal in the sports category for the Philadelphia region, and seniors Liz Stevens, Emily Stevens, and Kyle Scott were named Bucks County Courier Times Scholar-Athletes. Aly Passanante ’10 was named to the FSL’s All-League First Team for girls’ soccer and was selected to the all-Southeastern Pennsylvania and all-state teams for the sport.

Thirty-seven students earned George School Pi Awards for participating on three varsity teams this year and thirty-one were named to the All Friends League teams, with eleven earning honorable mention.

Thirty-two George School athletes—representing softball, track and field, lacrosse, baseball, tennis, and soccer—were honored in the “Spring 2009 Golden Teams” by the Bucks County Courier Times. Our athletes also brought home the Patterson Cup, affectionately known as “The Moose,” for half a year—earning a 15-15 tie with Westtown for this year’s varsity and JV competitions.

COLLEGE GUIDANCE CLASS OF 2009

It is a pleasure to report on the college plans for the George School Class of 2009.

The 125 members of this talented class, with its diverse interests and aspirations, have chosen to matriculate at seventy-six colleges and universities in twenty-one states and two foreign countries.

Thirty-five members of the graduating class will stay in Pennsylvania; the next most popular destinations are New York state (ten students), and Washington, DC (eight students). Four members of the Class of 2009 will matriculate abroad: two in Canada, one in Scotland, and one at a university yet to be determined in Brazil. Thirty-one will attend state or state-related universities, eleven of them in their home state of Pennsylvania.

For the first time in recent decades, the percentage of the class planning to attend state universities is larger than those planning to attend small liberal arts colleges.

This year, in fact, just over half of our international seniors chose state institutions over private ones. This is consistent with a nationwide trend borne of the current economic climate.

Also in keeping with a nationwide trend, nine of our graduates will take a gap year without having made a “deferral” commitment to any institution. One additional student has committed to a college but deferred admission until the fall of 2010. This represents a big jump over previous years, with nearly nine percent of our graduates not going directly to college. Economic factors strongly influenced the decisions of several, but not the majority, of these ten “gap year” seniors. Students and families seem ever more receptive to the idea of taking a year between high school and college to attain real-world experience and develop more specific academic goals.

Among the students going straight to college next year (still over ninety percent of the class!) a large number have specific careers in mind, whether in engineering, business, health care, social work, or architecture. The Class of 2009 presents a strong profile in the arts, with four going into music programs (two in performance at Berklee College of Music and two in music industry studies at Loyola University New Orleans), three into studio art and photography programs (two at Rhode Island School of Design and one at

the School of the Art Institute of Chicago), two into film and dramatic writing programs (both at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts) and one into Susquehanna University’s creative writing program.

We began the college application cycle for the Class of 2009 with real trepidation as the country’s economic woes deepened. A year ago, some seniors found that the financial aid George School had provided them was not matched by an equivalent level of aid from their colleges. This year, therefore, we were even more forceful in advising each student, regardless of family means, to apply to at least one “financial safety” school where they would be able or most nearly able to bear the total cost of attendance even without financial aid. Indeed, many seniors’ final decisions were strongly influenced by financial concerns. We are delighted that the vast majority of the seniors ended up with at least one appropriate and affordable option.

Many had a number of excellent choices.

For the Class of 2009, College Guidance sent credentials in support of 1,110 applications to 318 institutions—a robust but not a record number. Students submitted an average of nine applications each. Of the total, 512 were ultimately successful, 315 resulted in denials, and 101 resulted in wait-list offers. (Of the rest, most were applications that the student decided not to complete.) Fourteen students were accepted to their colleges under binding Early Decision programs.

Over the past several years, the average number of applications per student, the percentage of our seniors who applied Early Decision, and the percentage of applications that were successful seem to be holding steady.

George School seniors continue to be drawn to medium-sized and large urban campuses.

The Class of 2009 is the first one for whom we have managed all college application data with Naviance, a web-based college guidance program. Through Naviance’s Family Connection, students can access many sources of college information, build and manage their college lists, and track the progress of their applications. Parents and students can see George School’s history of recent applications to each college (configured to protect student privacy). Family Connection contains a personality inventory that links to information about potential college majors and careers,

and a full-length SAT preparation course.

All of these features are free to our students.

Due to the ease of communication through Family Connection, we now give parents more frequent updates and can copy them on most of the information their children receive. Although we don’t plan to change the practice of waiting until mid-junior year to begin the college guidance process, we are now giving Family Connection accounts to all students and their parents starting in freshman year so that they can access

selected features such as the personality inventory and test preparation.

Our college applicants would not have been nearly as successful without the support of their families or the many George School faculty members, including advisors and coaches, who inspired their dreams, built their skills, boosted their confidence, and wrote their myriad letters of recommendation. As always, the College Guidance staff feels privileged to be part of this team effort.

Student life highlights for 2008-2009

The deans handle all nonacademic aspects of student life. They are responsible for the care and support of students outside the classroom, including attendance, dining, discipline, dormitory and day student programs, oversight of student services, permissions, problem solving, social and weekend activities, and travel. Following are some of the highlights from the 2008-09 school year.

• Visiting Weekend in the Fall was busy with many parents attending classes and conferences. This year there was an increase in attendance from international parents and/or guardians. Many boarding students were invited home by local students while the school was closed for Fall Break, and the Deans’ Office planned activities and served special food for those remaining on campus.

• Seniors gathered at our new Mollie Dodd Anderson Library to sign a roof truss to leave their lasting imprint on the new building.

• Orton/West Main Weekend activities included a group workout with a personal trainer, a bonfire with music, and a pool party at the Sports Center with music and soft pretzels.

Scary Movie was shown in the Barash Room for Orton and West Main boarding students.

• The Parents Association organized delivery of home-baked cookies during Study Weekends.

• Student Council held its second annual cold-weather clothing drive to benefit the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.

• Harvest Weekend included our annual pumpkin carving contest, hayrides, and a bonfire. On Sunday, students peeled apples and took turns stirring the pot to make apple butter. The bonfire burned all day, greeting visitors for the Open House, which brought a record number of attendees. Current students gave tours and answered questions about residential life.

• English as a Second Language (ESL) students shared their culture and talent at an assembly during which traditional cultural performances alternating with modern and hip hop dance grooves.

• Live Music Weekend in February featured performances by several George School bands and singers. Highlighting the event was signer/songwriter, Chris Archibald and his band, Illinois.

• On Holiday Weekend, the Parents Association delivered an overwhelming amount of cookies and delicacies for the Holiday Dance. The Day Student prefects decorated Main Hall and the dining room in a festive way. Dorm staff hosted parties in their homes, cooked breakfast, and showed holiday-themed films all morning. Holiday Dinner was a delight with the dining room filled with the foods of the season. Candlelight meeting for worship was packed to standing room only.

• George School’s twentieth annual all-day commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. began with an assembly about journalist Daniel Pearl and his 2002 murder in Pakistan. Town Hall meetings were held to discuss general biases and prejudices, as well as issues brought up by the assembly. The day also featured workshops presented by students ranging from a conversation about civil rights to a mural-making exercise, to discussion about gay marriage and California’s Proposition 8.

• During Mid-Winter Break, forty students participated in the annual ski trip to Smugglers’ Notch in Vermont with five facultymembers in attendance.

• A town meeting was held in February, allowing students to voice concerns over discipline matters and school rules in general.

• The Annual Night of Nations was held Saturday night of UMOJA Weekend in May. Parents and students cooked foods that are representative of African Latino culture, African Caribbean culture, and African-American culture. A diverse group of students performed the annual R&B Step Team show to great applause. Afterwards the annual UMOJA Dance was held and attended by students and teachers from several other area schools.

• Alumni Weekend included many athletic events, a dance performance in memory of Carter Waghorne ’99 on Red Square, and a traditional Open Mic with many student performers. It was a great time for current students to reconnect with former students and begin to imagine themselves as graduates.

• Students organized a successful American Red Cross Blood Drive, donating seventy-

eight pints of blood which would help 234 people.

• The junior and senior class took their annual walk into Newtown to see a film at the Newtown Theatre.

• Head of School Nancy Starmer hosted the seniors for the last time at Sunnybanke in May. She baked cookies and the seniors received their yearbooks.

STRATEGIC PLANNING Defining direction and setting priorities

At its January 2009 meeting, the George School Committee approved a strategic plan that will guide the school’s strategic initiatives for the next five years.

The plan is a product of the efforts of many—students, faculty, staff, alumni, and parents including the 185 people who attended focus groups in spring 2008, the eighty-five who responded to an electronic survey, the sixty-five who attended a twoand-a-half day Strategic Planning retreat in June 2008, the teachers who considered it at faculty meetings, and the entire George School Committee.

As part of the planning process, the Strategic Planning Oversight Committee realized that while George School’s mission had remained constant, the language of the school’s mission statement no longer seemed sufficiently visionary. To bridge the gap, Head of School Nancy Starmer asked English teacher Terry Culleton and Director of College Guidance Nancy Culleton, a former English teacher, to tap into their many years of history as George School faculty members and their gifts for memorable phrasing to create a new mission statement that would inspire the greater community. Their statement, with few edits, was gratefully received and approved at the George School Committee meeting in December 2008 and is featured on our cover.

The strategic areas and goals identified by the plan include:

Educational Program Ensure that we provide a transformative educational experience that is deeply grounded in Friends values by continuously reviewing and improving our academic curriculum and pedagogy, our community life and service programs, and the mechanisms by which we attract and retain a high caliber of students, faculty, and staff.

• Design and implement a process to carefully and thoroughly assess whether our new curriculum is meeting its stated objectives and to review those objectives over time.

•E nhance total compensation and professional growth in relation to peer schools in developing the next generation of faculty and staff.

• I ncrease the scope and reach of our service programs.

Diversity Enhance our distinction as an inclusive educational community by challenging ourselves to address difficult questions raised by diversity in all its dimensions.

• Reexamine our definition of diversity, both to reflect the world of today and to ensure its alignment with the school’s mission and curricular objectives.

• Improve our practices school-wide from the perspective of the diversity of George School students and families.

Environmental Stewardship Recognize the pressing need for all human beings to live simpler, more sustainable lives by visibly integrating environmental stewardship into the day-to-day activities of students, faculty, and staff—and into our planning for the school.

• Design and implement a plan that engages students, faculty, and staff in adopting behaviors that result in saving energy, reducing waste, living more simply, and demonstrating respect for our campus and for the future of our planet.

• Integrate environmental sustainability goals into all of our facilities planning.

Facilities Improve our facilities to provide the best physical tools to advance student learning and to meet the needs of our teachers, while maintaining the pristine beauty of our campus.

• Update and integrate our multiple campus master plans into one.

• Prioritize our needs.

• Define needed improvements to our academic, arts, and athletic facilities.

• Determine funding needs and sources.

• Create a timeline and begin implementation.

Financial Aid Demonstrate continued leadership in financial aid in the context of a changing economic environment for independent schools.

• Undertake a rigorous study of current practices and new methods for making a George School education more affordable to economically diverse families.

• Define needed changes to our financial aid, admission, and tuition policies and objectives.

• Implement the steps that will ensure George School’s continued distinction in financial aid.

Financial Sustainability Create new processes for fund-raising and financial planning that will ensure that we can support our strategic objectives for the long-term benefit of George School.

• Identify the operational, capital, and endowment needs that are required to implement our strategic plan.

• Prioritize needs and integrate these into our financial strategies and fund-raising goals.

• Finalize and communicate how we will use the Barbara Dodd Anderson gift to support the school’s ongoing goals.

• Raise the additional funds needed to support our capital efforts and build endowment to support our ongoing commitments to compensation, financial aid, and affordability.

• Design and implement a plan for engaging a broader group of alumni/friends in the ongoing work of the school and of the George School Committee.

SUSTAINABILITY Establishing a leadership role

During the 2008-09 year, George School continued to develop its ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability with the support of the Environmental Stewardship Steering Committee (ESSC). The ESSC monitored a number of environmentally friendly activities on campus, including the community’s composting and sustainable food programs.

Composting The habits of the community reflected a focus on sustainability, as students, faculty, and staff continued to scrape food scraps into a large red composting container after their meals in the dining room. Combined with food waste from the kitchen, the process sent approximately five hundred pounds of otherwise landfill-bound garbage to the campus compost heap each day. Created through the joint efforts of TERRA (the student environmental group) and the school’s Food Service and Grounds Departments, the composting program produced fertilizer for school gardens.

Sustainable Food The farm-to-school program established by Food Service Director Joe Ducati of CulinArt Inc. brought produce from Snipes Farm in Morrisville PA to George School’s dining room. The school also expanded an on-campus garden so that it could provide more organic vegetables for school meals. Several students chose to do their required co-op at the garden, where they worked under the guidance of George School’s gardener, Kate Smith-Ducati. Four students worked at the garden during the fall term, four in the winter term, and ten in the spring term.

Student Leadership • The ESSC selected four students to serve on the committee: Caitlin Brimmer ’10, Andrea Lindsay ’11, Kevin Simone ’11, Ryan Trombley ’10, and Aly Weiner ’10. In addition, Rex Roskos ’11 and Xina GrahamVannais ’11 served as representatives from Student Council.

• Three students—Caitlin Brimmer ’10, Andrea Lindsay ’11, and Rex Roskos ’11— were among the one hundred high school students across the United States who were selected as U.S. Green Schools Fellows

by the Green Schools Alliance and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Agency’s National Conservation Training Center. Chosen on the basis of the outstanding leadership they have demonstrated by working to make George School more environmentally sustainable, the students participated in the first-ever National Student Climate and Conservation Congress in summer 2009.

Environmental Focus • When new students arrived for registration at George School in August 2008, they each received a reusable, BPA-free water bottle with the tree logo on it. The bottles were a gift from Laura Boswell ’08, one of two recipients of George School’s Julius B. Laramore Service Award for the 2007-2008 school year. Laura designated part of the funds from her award to be used towards sustainability efforts at George School.

• At a December 2008 assembly, members of the student environmental group TERRA presented tips for recycling and energy conservation on campus.

• During the month of February 2009, George School monitored its weekly electricity usage as part of the national Green Cup Challenge for schools, the first and only national, student-driven interscholastic energy challenge that builds awareness about climate change and the environment, educates about resource conservation, and encourages participating schools to involve all members of their campus communities.

In preparation for the challenge, George School plant operations staff met with students to discuss energy conservation tips.

This year’s challenge included 150 participating schools—boarding, day, public, and private—in twenty-three states and Canada. Combined, these participating schools reduced their carbon dioxide emissions by 1,216 tons, the equivalent of removing 220 cars from the road for a year.

• During the construction of the new Learning Commons and Mollie Dodd Anderson Library, we were able to recycle 91.54 percent of our construction waste. This recycling effort diverted more than 194 tons of waste from landfills.

• An April 2009 assembly featured Doug Tallamy, professor and chair of the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware and author of Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens. He encouraged audience

members to feel empowered by the ability to conserve nature in their own backyards through planting native vegetation. Dozens of students were inspired to speak with the author after his presentation.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS New Learning commons and library open

The 2008-09 academic year was full of notable physical plant projects:

Campus Master Plan Efforts An Integrated Management Plan was developed to serve as a foundation for the update of the 2001 Master Plan and will help George School begin a community input and approval process in September, 2009. The purposes of the plan include: • Updating the assembled data to serve as a benchmark for future facility evaluations and initiatives.

• Integrating the assembled data to provide relevance.

• Evaluating the existing facility infrastructure to determine the need and viability of future facility initiatives.

Learning commons and mollie dodd anderson library Construction of the Learning Commons and Mollie Dodd Anderson Library proceeded on schedule and materials from the existing library were transferred in August 2009. The building is on track to receive Gold LEED certification in environmental sustainability. It includes a green roof, recycled building materials, geothermal heating and cooling, waterless urinals, daylight harvesting, occupancy sensors, and infrastructure to support a solar energy plant at some future date.

The site includes six rain gardens, stone check dams, and natural meadows to reduce the amount of rain water runoff. An application was made to the Pennsylvania Energy Development Authority to request 50 percent funding for the addition of a solar energy plant on the roof.

other major facility projects • Four new tennis courts were constructed north of the Learning Commons and Mollie Dodd Anderson Library, adjacent to the Academic Walk.

• A 3,700 square foot Carriage Barn was constructed on the original site to replace two storage buildings that burned down in March, 2007. The new barn will provide storage space for grounds and maintenance supplies, as well as for materials used in woodworking and stagecraft classes.

• Substantial progress has been made in converting the Gladstone Building (behind the boiler plant) from a storage building to the offices of the Physical Plant Department, a renovation project that was completed entirely by in-house personnel. The building now houses the offices of the director of operations, director of security, special projects foreman, grounds foreman, maintenance foreman, and physical plant secretary.

• Two laboratories in the Spruance-Alden Science Center were substantially renovated this past summer. The two renovations include a state-of-the-art chemistry lab and a general science lab.

• The architectural firm of Mark B. Thompson Associates was hired to renovate the existing McFeely Library that will house the History Department. The project is scheduled to start in September 2009, and will include seven classrooms, an office area, several small study areas, a collaborative reading area, and handicap accessibility. Substantial effort is underway to make the building energy efficient.

17 01: The new, green Learning Commons and Mollie Dodd Anderson Library is located on the south end of campus at the intersection of Farm Drive and Meetinghouse Lane. The 26,400square-foot structure encompasses a library, five classrooms, and a learning center.

ENDOWMENT providing long-term financial stability

This proved to be a challenging year for all investors, with the capital market turmoil deepening as the year unfolded. As of June 30, 2009, the George School endowment had a market value of $56.4 million compared to $70.0 million a year earlier.

While the market value of our endowment is down 22.7 percent, we have met our objectives on a longer term basis, outperforming comparable indexes, such as Standard & Poor’s 75%S&P500 Index. It is this long-term basis upon which our spending from the endowment is calculated. Our return over the past five years is 0.3 percent, against a minus 0.2 percent return on the 75%S&P500 Index. Over the past ten years, our return is 2.9 percent, against a comparable 0.2 percent return on the 75%S&P500 Index.

George School’s endowment is conservatively invested in 75 percent equities and 25 percent bonds, with very limited exposure to alternative investments in commodities and energy, and no exposure to hedge funds.

Planned spending from the endowment is the second largest source of operating revenue, behind tuition, providing 12.4 percent of the school’s total budgeted revenue.

George School’s endowment consists of more than 280 discrete funds established over the years by individual donors, foundations, and reunion classes. Approximately 48 percent of George School’s endowment is restricted to financial aid, scholarships, and tuition remission. Another 22 percent has been earmarked by the donors to support faculty programs and salaries.

Endowment funds per student

Anderson Lead Trust

Our Endowment Ensures Our Future

In addition to our endowment, George School is beneficiary to the Barbara Dodd Anderson ’50 lead trust, which has a net present value of $68.7 million. Barbara’s gift was inspired by the vastly generous gift Warren Buffett made to the Bill Gates Foundation.

“Now it is our turn to be inspired by Barbara’s incredible generosity to George School,” explained George School Finance Committee Clerk Andrew Steginsky, Parent ’02, ’05. “The Barbara Dodd Anderson gift was never meant to ease the burden of the rest of us in the community to give generously, but rather it was intended in part to inspire us all to the level of generosity that our gifts to George School make us feel good and proud.”

A strong endowment is crucial, as it provides the long-term financial stability that allows George School to weather periods of economic turbulence. Perhaps more important, a strong endowment affords us the luxury to play a leadership role in areas that are important to Quakers and our community at George School, such as environmental sustainability.

A larger endowment would help to moderate increases in tuition rates and fund competitive salaries for teachers. Your gifts help keep George School in the forefront of independent education—providing students with the spiritual, intellectual, and personal resources to make a difference in the world.

George School’s endowment per student is approximately $122,000, considerably less than the average endowment per student of our peer boarding schools, which is $342,685.

This impacts our ability to keep tuition increases as low as possible as well as our ability to enrich our academic and extra curricular programs. Even with the addition of funds from the Anderson lead trust, our endowment per student is $256,669, still well below the average of our peer schools.

ADVANCEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT

George School is a community of friends and neighbors from around the corner and from across the globe. We celebrate the many ways that students, families, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends connect with one another and with George School.

Building our Community

Our Online Community • Our new website has helped build our worldwide community, fostering closer relationships with our alumni, students and their families, and prospective students. The success of this project has been recognized with a gold award from the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).

Website traffic has increased 72 percent and unique visitors have increased 42 percent.

The average time a visitor spends on the site is two minutes and twenty-two seconds.

• A new website feature, “Our Week in Pictures,” gives parents a glimpse of their child’s week on campus, lets prospective students imagine life at George School, and helps alumni reconnect with favorite memories. More than eighty students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends contributed photos this year. New slideshows were posted for forty-four weeks and included more than one thousand photos.

• The parent section of George School’s new secure portal enables parents to maintain contact information, update permissions, access community resources, and track their children’s academic progress much more easily. International families particularly find this helpful, given the barriers of distance and time zones.

Our National and International Communities • In March, Head of School Nancy Starmer and Director of Development Joanna Storrar led a George School visit to Seoul, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Taipei, and Tokyo. They met with many George School families and alumni to discuss the development of the George School community in Asia. Discussions included how to enable them to play a fuller part in George School life. These visits are already leading to closer links between George School and parents in Asia.

• Closer to home, local members of the Parents Association are reaching out to international parents. Several parents have volunteered to greet new students at the airport and bring them to campus for their orientation programs. Other parents are becoming penpals with international parents. Many local parents hope to offer hospitality to international students during the school year and look forward to creating new ways to make these important connections.

Our Alumni Community • Alumni Weekend drew more than four hundred alumni and friends back to George School. A record-breaking number of workshops were offered Alumni Weekend, attracting both parents and alumni to campus. In addition, dozens of alumni and former and current faculty joined together to dedicate the Smith and Streetz houses, two new twin homes for faculty and staff situated near Brown House and the football field.

• At the all-alumni gathering, Head of School Nancy Starmer presented Alumni Awards to David Rutstein ’74 and Karen Callaway Williams ’84 in recognition of their accomplishments and commitment to service. The school honored former parent Carolyn Waghorne for her service to both George School and the greater community by recognizing her as the first recipient of the George School Distinguished Service Award.

• Thirteen alumni retuned to campus to work with students during the annual Career Workshops, sponsored by the Parents Association. They were among the nineteen speakers who led workshops. Four-fifths of the students selected workshop speakers through the electronic survey process.

Many of the speakers and parent volunteers stayed for lunch with students afterwards, culminating a very successful day of reconnecting with alumni and providing inspiring experiences to students.

21

Our Parent and Grandparent Community • Fifty-eight students and 132 grandparents attended Grandparents and Special Friends Day, almost twice as many participants as last year. Afterward guests were invited to take the self-guided historic walking tour of campus that was updated with information about the green learning commons and the significantly enhanced campus garden and composting projects.

• Parents of seniors were invited to Sunnybanke following the now traditional Red Square send-off of students who attend the senior dinner dance. About seventy-five people attended the reception, an event

that some parents considered to be their own graduation from parents of current students to parents of graduates.

Our Community of Supporters Despite the difficult financial environment, the continuing support of our donors has been an inspiration to us.

• The Annual Fund exceeded its goal of raising $1,050,000 for George School’s operating budget. More than twenty-four hundred alumni, parents, grandparents and friends of the school made contributions totaling $1,067,982. George School tuition covers only 75 percent

of the cost of educating our students. The other 25 percent is contributed by the endowment and Annual Fund gifts. As one of our donors recently said, “that’s what it means to be part of a community.”

• The Edward E. Ford Foundation gave George School a $250,000 matching Educational Leadership Grant to support our Global Service Program. This gift recognizes the school’s record for transformative thinking, exemplified by George School’s sixty-year tradition of leading international service trips. The grant was made last year on the condition that George School match it within two years with new or increased gifts. This was achieved in five months.

• Gifts for endowments and for special projects such as the curriculum review and the Global Service Project, totaled $6,018,752. Additions to our endowment support increased scholarships, strengthened faculty programs, and helped finance the new Learning Commons and Mollie Dodd Anderson Library, as well as other long-term projects.

• This year the John M. George Society added nine new members. George School received ten completed gifts made by will or matured life income gifts totaling $354,844. As of June 30, 2009, fifty alumni and friends received life income gift annuities and the total market value of George School’s gift annuity assets

as $2,803,451. Also as of June 30, 2006, w thirty-three alumni and friends received life income from George School pooled income fund. The market value of pooled income assets was $1,214,445. Planned gifts also ensure the quality of the George School education and experience for future generations of students.

pendent schools, George School’s endowment has been relatively small, and even with this extraordinary gift, our endowment does not enable us to meet all the needs of students who we would like to admit, or to sustain our commitment to our faculty, buildings, and grounds. What Barbara’s gift has made possible, especially in this difficult economic environment, is a sense of stability and confidence in our future. We will continue to need and to seek philanthropic income for all we do—financial aid for our students, salaries and housing for our faculty, construction costs for academic and sports facilities.

• The historic lead trust gift from Barbara Dodd Anderson is a long-term one, coming to us over the course of twenty years for addition to our endowment to support financial aid and faculty. Compared to many similar inde-

The Machemer Cup—sponsored by Paul Machemer, ’65 and Pam Rea Machemer, Westtown ’64—is awarded annually. Also known as the Loyalty Challenge, this is a competition between the last twenty-one classes (including the senior class) at George School and those same classes at Westtown School. The classes compete head-to-head. One loyalty point is awarded for each class; the point goes to the school that has the greater percentage of donors to the Annual Fund in that particular class. There will be a total of twenty-one loyalty points. The winner is the school that has more loyalty points at the end of each fiscal year.
