FIRST PRESBYTERIAN DAY SCHOOL

ANNUALREPORT 2011-12

Gregg Thompson Headmaster

“This has got to be the best place in the world to go to school! Everyone’s always happy.” - Amerson Construction Worker What an affirmation about our school community! The above remark was shared with Carl Amerson by one of the workers assisting with the fine arts addition. Carl relayed his worker’s perspective to me – the worker noted our students are EXCITED to be here!

What an encouragement to get a view of life at the Day School from a “hidden observer” who noticed a difference as students come and go between classes, in carpool, and while interacting with teachers on campus. We have a very special place here. National recognition as a Blue Ribbon Middle School attests to the rigor and exceptional level of work that is accomplished by our students. Within that high level of challenge and expectation there is a

joy of learning and community that makes FPD the “best place in the world to go to school!” That sense of place begins with a commitment to honor Christ with our best; it includes a celebration of the unique gifts and talents of our peers; and it is lived out daily by extraordinary teachers who care for their students’ learning as they care for the “hidden curriculum” of respect, dignity, kindness, perseverance and the many other life lessons that are evidence of the Spirit of Christ growing and maturing in us. As we look back at the blessings of God and the family and friends of our school, I want to express my appreciation to each individual who has made our school possible through your financial investment and sacrificial giving to provide a campus of resources that host the lives being impacted daily. Thank you to those who have stepped forward to help make these new spaces possible – the weight room, the fine arts addition under construction and (prayerfully soon) full funding to complete the additional athletic field space south of Calvin Drive – as part of the Investing in Our Future Campaign. And, thank you students, faculty and parents for your witness to these workers who get a taste of the love of Christ by observing your joy for life at the Day School.

DONORPROFILE

‘It truly is a family’ Jim and Nichole Bond’s devotion to FPD runs deep.

Story and photos by Cal Powell ot long after Jim and Nichole Bond’s first daughter was born, they received a visit from a

friend. Mike Hall, father of two FPD graduates, husband of an FPD faculty member and 4

former board chairman, encouraged the young couple to consider the school when Marah, their little girl, got a little older. “When your child is first born, you’re not thinking about school,” Nichole remembered, smiling at the memory. “It

seemed so far away.” Today, the Bonds are forever grateful for Hall’s suggestion. Marah is now a junior cheerleader at FPD and Mallory, her little sister, is a fifth grader, and sometimes the years seem like they’ve flown by, Nichole said. “Now I know why he talked to us so early,” she said. Jim said the couple decided upon FPD immediately after their initial visit to the school shortly after Marah turned 3.

“When we left, there wasn’t a question about where we were going to go. We just felt like this was the place where we wanted to raise our kids.”

“As soon as we walked in the door, we were welcomed,” Jim said. “Everything about the school was just warm. When we left, there wasn’t a question about where we were going to go. We just felt like this was the place where we wanted to raise our kids.” The Bond’s attachment to FPD grew even deeper when Mallory was born a few years later. Mallory was just six days old when she was diagnosed with congenital heart defects the day before Thanksgiving in 2001. Stunned by the news, the Bonds leaned heavily on their new friends at FPD. “I felt like a lot of the reasons we chose to come here were really reflected in people’s actions (following the diagnosis),” Nichole said. “It truly is a family here. People we didn’t even know reached out to us. It took a lot of people to get Marah through kindergarten that year, but we made it.” One of the friendships that developed out of the ordeal was with Larry Kemper, grandfather of Zach Morton, an FPD student who passed away at the age of 18 in December 2003 due to a heart condition. Zach is the son of FPD Bible teacher Johnny Morton. “I would be walking the halls (at church) and he would

come out and talk to me and just really supported me,” Jim said of Kemper. “He was there for us because his family had been through similar experiences to what we were going through. He has stayed in touch with us, checking on Mallory’s progress through the years. Really, it’s hard to thank just one person. There has just been so much love and support throughout the time we’ve been at FPD. It has been overwhelming.” Mallory’s condition has improved considerably since those harrowing days as a newborn, and the Bonds’ devotion to FPD has only grown. The couple say they support the school’s annual fund because they believe in FPD’s mission and have experienced firsthand the blessings of being a part of the FPD family. “We believe in the core of the school,” Nichole said. “We’ve always given to the annual fund as long as I can remember. I don’t know that we make a big contribution, but to me it’s not about the amount. If you can give back and help make your school better, that’s just how we feel about it. Sometimes you can do more as a group than you can individually.”

Q: A:

“What does my gift do?” Gifts to the FPD Fund help provide revenue for high-impact resources and opportunities not covered by tuition dollars. One of the recent benefactors of the FPD Fund is the school’s competition cheer team, which received new uniforms.

“The girls love their new uniforms! They are so thankful and truly blessed by the generous donation that was given to the FPD Fund to purchase them! In the past, the girls would notice that their uniforms did not ‘fit in’ with the design of all of the other competitive teams. They were more for their spirit squad and not for performing in front of a panel of judges. The new uniforms have all of the necessities in a cheerleading uniform, while adding that sparkle and shine of the competitive side. This year the girls have received numerous compliments and praises of how awesome they look in their new uniforms. We are so excited to have them and thank the FPD Fund and its generous donors.” - Competition cheer coach Jessica Murnan

did you know? FPD’s middle school was named a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education in September 2012. Only eight schools in the entire state of Georgia received this honor, and only 49 private schools nationwide. FPD was the only Georgia private school recognized. The National Blue Ribbon Schools program honors public and private elementary, middle and high schools where students perform at very high levels or where dramatic improvements are being made in students’ levels of achievement. FPD was recognized as an “Exemplary High Performing” school. These are schools that are recognized among the nation’s highest performing schools, as measured by nationally-normed tests.

“We couldn’t do it without you.” Your contributions to the FPD Fund helped provide webcasting equipment that allows us to broadcast school functions live. “The broadcasting equipment allows students to gain professional experience in media production. They are privileged to learn important aspects of video production as well as non-linear editing and broadcast journalism. The production equipment really helps prepare our students for college level and professional video production. Thank you so very much for your continued support of the FPD Fund. We couldn’t do it without you.” - Visual Media Coordinator Tyler Shores FPD Annual Report 2011-12

nder a Georgia state law established in 2008, you are now able to re-direct a portion of your state income tax payment to provide need-based tuition assistance. FPD has partnered with the Georgia GOAL (Greater Opportunities for Access to Learning) Scholarship Program to help facilitate the provisions of the law. This program allows us to provide need-based

financial assistance to students who are currently enrolled in a Georgia public school who desire a Christ-centered education at FPD.

The John E. Richards Society was established to glorify God and to honor Richards’ role in the founding of FPD. Dr. Richards was the pastor of First Presbyterian Church from 1956-72. He and several visionaries had a dream to open a Christ-centered college preparatory school. The John E. Richards Society will provide financial resources to FPD through planned gifts. Making a planned gift is a simple way to help ensure that the vision of FPD will become reality not only today but also for generations to come. There are six easy ways to join: 1. Prepare a will with a bequest, remainder trust, gift annuity, lead trust and/ or retained life estate plan. 2. Leave a gift in your will for FPD. 3. Consider using assets such as stocks, bonds and investments other than cash for your charitable gift. Such gifts may provide additional tax advantages. 4. Name FPD as the beneficiary of your individual retirement account or pension plan. 5. Name FPD as the beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy. 6. Remember deceased loved ones with endowed memorial gifts to FPD.

Danny Smith Chairman of the Board

We have much about which to be thankful. The Board of Trustees devoted a portion of its recent retreat to the Lord’s Blessings on FPD. I’d like to share some of these with you.

FPD’s Mission: to educate and equipment children to change the world for God’s Glory. It is the cornerstone of who we are as a school. FPD reaches a broad spectrum of families from various socio-economic, ethnic and spiritual diversities. Academic Excellence: As evidenced in part by: AP Scholars: A record number of 51 AP scholars this year continues a multi-year trend of year over year increases in this objective measure of academic performance. College acceptances to the school of our students’ choices including unsurpassed levels of early admissions to Georgia’s research universities. FPD’s Middle School was named a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education in September 2012. In 2003, our elementary school also received a Blue Ribbon designation. It is believed FPD is the only school in the state to earn Blue Ribbon awards for multiple schools. The 1 to 1 Initiative: It will be a transformative project and unique in the Middle Georgia area. We believe it will provide a giant leap forward for FPD’s existing rigorous academic program. Headmaster Gregg Thompson is the longest-serving head of school in the area, now in his 16th year of service. In October, Mr. Thompson received the Frank E. Gaebelein Award for “Leadership as Head of School.” This is a national honor presented by Paideia, a consulting firm providing a comprehensive range of services for

not-for-profit schools, colleges and universities all over the world for more than four decades. Incredible faculty: we are blessed with a faculty that is loyal and goes “above and beyond” to provide a quality education to our students, as well as successful alumni who are indeed changing the world for God’s glory. Our Fine Arts program continues to amaze and excel! Construction is now well under way on the fine arts building expansion. The 20,000 square foot expansion is in response to the growth and success in our fine arts programs. Completion is expected early Spring 2013. FPD’s Athletic Teams: Our experience in the GHSA has resulted in lives being touched for Christ as well as multiple region and even state championships. Student athletes appreciate the highly competitive league and have committed to raising their level of play. To God’s glory, competing in the GHSA has been a very positive experience for FPD. Christ-Centered School: FPD recently hosted Fields of Faith, sponsored by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. More than 1,500 student athletes from public and private schools attended the life-changing event in September 2012. First Presbyterian Church provided the vision for FPD’s founding as well as very generous financial support over the years. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, thank you for your continued support of FPD. Generous gifts have made the above blessings and many, many more possible at FPD. The financial position of our school is solid and provides a firm foundation for the future. FPD’s brightest days are ahead with the Lord’s blessing and your continued prayer, service and support. We continue to be honored that you have entrusted your child’s education to FPD. FPD Annual Report 2010-11

Charlie Parrish Chief Financial Officer

If you asked just about any of our teaching faculty, staff members or administration about FPD’s mission statement, you would receive the prompt response, “to educate and equip children to change the world for God’s glory.”

FPD’s unique mission is a focus for new teachers at their orientation, is printed in classrooms throughout the campus, and drives every major school decision. The stories of how God uses FPD graduates to accomplish this mission are as diverse as they are powerful. Dr. Bill Terrell (’81) draws on his orthopedic training from the Medical College of Georgia to provide life changing care for those with bone deformities out of his office in Marietta, and boldly proclaims God as the one who healed them. Caleb Foxworth (’08) is using his construction management degree from Georgia Southern to help build roads in his mission work in Jinja, Uganda where he also serves as director of an orphanage for abandoned kids with HIV/AIDS. These are just two stories, and there are hundreds of them, that are evidence of the world changing

work that God is doing at FPD. Today’s students are being supported by the same mission, and new stories about current students are being formed in today’s FPD classroom. Much effort goes into our being mission-focused to invest in the areas that have the greatest impact. We desire to retain and attract the most qualified Christian educators available, by dedicating 65 cents of every dollar to salaries and benefits. We are placing a heavy emphasis on employing 21st century technology to effectively prepare our students to excel in the college of their choice. We acknowledge a challenging economic climate and assist FPD families with tuition, where there is a legitimate financial need. Today, 31% of FPD students receive some level of need-based tuition assistance. We place a priority on long-term stability, by the building of reserves, so that today’s kindergarteners can be assured of the same Christ-centered, college preparatory education that our graduates enjoyed. We believe that these efforts are some of the critical pieces needed to pursue FPD’s special mission. Stories like those of Bill and Caleb are evidence of that. I can’t help but to look forward to the new stories that tomorrow’s FPD graduates will tell. Thank you for your sacrificial commitment toward this effort. May God get the glory!
