Our community came together in a show of solidarity like never before, sharing generosity of spirit, expertise, time and resources. By doing so, we achieved the seemingly impossible. We kept campus open and safe five days a week during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you for being there when we needed you most. LJCDS was recognized as a national leader and model for age 3 through Grade 12 schools in how to educate during the pandemic, and the school was featured in several media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal. We are proud of what we accomplished and grateful for the members of our community who made our Return to Campus Plan possible. Without philanthropy, the recommendations of our expert covid-19 task force, composed of world-class physicians, scientists and academics, would have been just that—recommendations. Your support allowed us to act quickly and efficiently. Funded by philanthropy, our COVID-19 protocols sprang from diverse thinking, integration of ideas, constant questioning, acceptance of uncertainty and willingness to adjust in real time. Every day we strive to create learning environments that provide opportunities for students to do the same. In doing so, they build skill sets necessary to thrive and lead in a global and hyper-connected world. Every year, parents, grandparents, alumni and friends have partnered with LJCDS to educate for the future. Financial contributions continued to allow us to keep our model of education rooted in the tried and true, but ever relevant. As the pace of change continues at increasing rates, so too will the adaptation of our curriculum and instruction. Knowing we have the support of our school community will allow us to not only keep pace with the world today but also anticipate and innovate.

GREATEST NEED

Country Day Fund (cdf)

Philanthropy is critical to advancing the mission and promise of La Jolla Country Day School. LJCDS relies on philanthropy from every member of our school community, including current parents, grandparents, alumni and their families, students, faculty/staff, corporations and friends. Why? Tuition alone has never been enough to fund a school that is academically, artistically and athletically at the caliber of LJCDS. Greatest need dollars, just like tuition revenue, are flexible and have a reach that is both far and wide. Because of this, they make a great deal possible and are the school’s number one philanthropic priority, year after year. Donors to LJCDS’ greatest need are noted by [•] in the column titled “CDF” on the 2020–2021 list of donors located on pages 23–33.

We believe that students learn most efficiently in the presence of friends and teachers. Fortunately, Dr. Krahn’s powerful Return to Campus Plan allowed our children to return to the classroom this past academic year, in the best and safest learning environment. It is only with charitable donations that this possibility became a reality. Carina and Cody Sun, Parents of Cindy ’20 and Coco ’26

Greatest need dollars are powerful because they flow into the budgeting process to fund initiatives that benefit all students from Tiny Torreys to Upper School, while at the same time empowering school leadership to address pressing needs in real time. In addition to funding COVID-19 protocols, these flexible dollars made a variety of programs possible. Pathways, a workshop in creative negotiation, brought LJCDS students together with Israeli and Australian students to learn how to find mutually beneficial solutions for difficult problems. Artist-inresidence and Emmy Award-nominated musician Jarrett Johnson worked with our talented Madrigal Singers and performed with them at Blue Bash.

BLUE BASH One of La Jolla Country Day School’s most time-honored traditions is our annual Parents Association gala, Blue Bash—a night we gather as a community to celebrate LJCDS while raising funds needed to fuel our school’s success. Historically grossing over a half a million dollars annually for tuition assistance, faculty and staff professional growth, the ongoing work of the Parents Association, and the school’s endowment, this year’s Blue Bash was record-breaking. With an enthusiastic planning committee and innovative in-person and virtual format, nearly 400 guests from around the country celebrated our thriving LJCDS community! Donors to Blue Bash 2021 are noted by [•] in the column titled “BB” on the 2020–2021 list of donors located on pages 23–33.

Over the past few years, I have developed an interest in fashion, but lacked hands-on experience in the field. Blue Bash auctioned off a day of mentorship with an alumna fashion merchandiser for Diane von Furstenberg in New York City, and I knew this was the perfect opportunity to learn more about my possible career path in fashion. Upon arriving at DVF in New York City, I was greeted by Arlene Olvera ’05 and was soon listening in on her meeting with Nordstrom, where she presented an unreleased line. I walked away knowing I wanted to pursue fashion, which might not have happened if I didn’t shadow Arlene. Kaia Brown ’21

F U ND S RA I S ED BEN EFIT:

Parents Association Activities: PA activities are important ways to support campus. This special group of parents is ever-present, embracing our school community each and every day of the year.

Endowment: A strong endowment provides LJCDS with a steady source of revenue and is essential to the long-term stability of a first-class educational institution.

Tuition Assistance: A diverse community contributes to a more enriching teaching and learning experience. Tuition assistance helps develop and sustain a diverse student body representing various cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Faculty/Staff Professional Growth: To remain on the leading edge of pedagogy, faculty and staff continually ensure their craft is second to none. From conferences to global excursions, new learning experiences equip our educators with ways to innovate in their LJCDS classrooms.

A RT IST- I N- RES I D EN C E PROGRAM

Throughout LJCDS’ long history, the Artist-in-Residence program has afforded students the opportunity to work alongside talented artists to learn new pathways of thinking, seeing and feeling. This year, students learned from and worked with professional singer, songwriter and producer, Jarrett Johnson. Jarrett and Caroline Becker, Middle and Upper School choral and music director, had dreamed of such a partnership for years. As COVID-19 provided flexibility in Jarrett’s schedule, he seized the opportunity to teach virtual and in-person Middle School composition classes, the concert choir and the Madrigals in the Upper School. Jarrett’s artist-in-residency culminated in a wonderful performance with the Madrigals at Blue Bash. Three songs were masterfully performed and reminded attendees of the important role philanthropy plays on our campus.

After almost an entire year of online learning, the Madrigal Singers had lost a lot of confidence. I remember the day that Jarrett Johnson first came to work with us in person, and he got us standing up and clapping, moving around, and it totally changed how our choir performed. As someone who wants to pursue a career in music, being able to work with someone who is actively working in the industry was so valuable. I hope this program continues so more students get to have this amazing experience.

TUITION ASSISTANCE A Powerful Philanthropic Investment

An exceptional education correlates to an exceptional student body—one that abounds with smart, talented and ambitious young people, including applicants whose families lack the financial means to pay full tuition. A diverse student body provides all students with critically important exposure to different backgrounds, stories and perspectives. Studies show that multiple viewpoints within groups generate better ideas, sharpen problem-solving skills and deepen empathy, all of which will successfully position our students to lead, influence and navigate today’s global world with sophistication and dignity. A N O PPO RTUNI TY TO HONOR

Teachers change lives. During national Teacher Appreciation Week, members of the LJCDS community showed their gratitude for our impactful educators by making gifts to tuition assistance that totaled $78,000. Just as an exceptional education correlates to an exceptional student body, it also correlates to exceptional teachers. Because tuition

assistance allows the most talented students to attend LJCDS regardless of their family’s socioeconomic status, our faculty are able to create curriculum and learning environments that harness the exchange of diverse perspectives, experiences and beliefs that power global citizenship.

Donors to tuition assistance are noted by [·] in the column titled “TA” on the 2020–2021 list of donors, located on pages 23–33.

Education is the best equalizer and stabilizer for the development of society. Today, there are many talented children who do not have access to the education they deserve. We contribute our share to allow those children the opportunity to realize their full potential. Liqun Wang and Marco Londei, Farfy Foundation

At Blue Bash 2020, PAUL I N A PEREZ- CURI EL ’ 14 shared her inspiring story of how tuition assistance impacted her life. Paulina’s dream has always been to become a physician’s assistant, and in September 2021, she began studying at Yale University to fulfill her dream. It’s a domino effect. If it were not for the many people who believed and supported me throughout high school, I wouldn’t have believed in myself to take the leap and now be attending Yale. I am truly grateful for that.

After graduating cum laude from Santa Clara University’s Honors Program and the University of San Diego Law School, A N A MA RI A BURG O S - S O L I S ’ 10 was commissioned in the United States Navy, JAG Corps. She currently serves as Defense Counsel at DSO West and has orders to DSO Pacific where she will run her own office in Guam as defense council for the U.S. Navy. All of these achievements are, in large part, a result of the education I received at La Jolla Country Day School. Our caring faculty and generous donors who invested in tuition assistance made all the difference. I will always be a grateful Torrey!

It has been 22 years since receiving tuition assistance, and I can definitively say that my LJCDS education has played an invaluable role in shaping my path and instilling in me a reminder to carry the six pillars of character in everything I do. Now, I am grateful to be in a position to give back to the institution that gave so much to me.

ALUMNI GIVING We always say, “once a Torrey, always a Torrey.” Alumni remain exceptional supporters of LJCDS long after their years on Genesee Avenue. Their dedication enriches the experiences of the Torreys following in their footsteps. During the 2020–2021 school year, 15 alumni joined the re-established Alumni Council, serving as the leaders of the alumni community. They gave their time by volunteering for a variety of school initiatives and events. Alumni donated $153,990 to help support tuition assistance, arts, athletics, community service, Blue Bash and more. We offer our utmost gratitude to all of our alumni for the countless ways they continue to devote themselves to LJCDS. A LUM NI CO NTRI BU TIONS AT BLU E BASH

We are grateful for the wonderful ways alumni supported Blue Bash 2021. Seventeen alumni donated a total of 24 items to the silent auction, raising a total of $23,640.

The Senior Class Gift has been a meaningful senior year tradition since 2016, and marks the first gifts given to LJCDS by members of the graduating class. It is the senior class’s way of showing gratitude for LJCDS and impactful teachers, coaches, mentors and programs. Every year, the senior class is generously matched by a senior LJCDS family. Gifts from the Class of 2021 were matched their senior year, and will continue to be matched for the next two years of giving by Leann and Terry Gooding, parents of Phillip Gooding ’21. The Senior Class Gift has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception in 2016, and the Class of 2021 boldly continued the legacy set by their predecessors—raising the highest dollar amount of any class thus far with a total gift of $4,460.

Neal is grateful for all the ways LJCDS worked with him and his family to provide tuition assistance, offer solutions and remove obstacles in the way of his education. This sense of gratitude led Neal to reach out to see how he could make a difference in the lives of current Torreys. At Blue Bash, Neal announced his first gift of a full tuition for the 2021–2022 school year and encouraged all to join him in this act of philanthropy. Neal said, “This is just the beginning!” He hopes his example will encourage and inspire others to give. As he said, “That’s the world I want to live in.” We are grateful for his vision and leadership.

PROGRAMMATIC GIVING Gifts that support specific programs help LJCDS enhance its offerings. The impacts of these philanthropic donations include (but are not limited to): PH I LANTH RO PY PARTNER S

VISUAL AND P E RF O RM ING ARTS

A N D S ERV I CE- L EARNING

At LJCDS, students have an equal opportunity to explore and develop their artistic side. Guiding them on their creative journeys is a group of arts educators who are also working artists. Because of this, students benefit from being mentored by both teachers and practitioners. As a result, our young artists are encouraged to take risks, find their own voices and learn to work collaboratively in the studio, gallery and theater.

Social responsibility is an integral part of the mission of La Jolla Country Day School. The school’s promise, inspiring greatness for a better world, includes learning from others and using that knowledge to help make the community stronger. Students experience the impact of meaningful service-learning with a combination of classroom discussions and lessons, hands-on opportunities and thoughtful reflections.

Today more than ever, the inequities across society are deeply evident. It’s especially important for privately educated students to understand and appreciate the great privilege they’ve been afforded and to utilize that privilege to help those less fortunate. We contribute to the Philanthropy Partners program because it serves as a practical way for students to learn about the many needs that exist across underserved communities, and to evaluate causes and organizations in order to direct funds objectively.

AT HL E TIC S

The LJCDS Athletic Leadership program equips students with the essential skills to become effective leaders on the field, on the court, or in the pool, as well as in life. They develop the character, accountability, responsibility, compassion, courage, determination, integrity and perseverance needed to become servant leaders. At LJCDS, KE LSE Y PLU M ’ 1 3 had an infectious passion for the game of basketball that inspired and energized players and coaches alike. She worked hard, stayed positive and supported her teammates in becoming their very best, leading the 2012 LJCDS basketball team to the CIF state championship. After graduation, Kelsey played basketball for the University of Washington, scoring a career-high 57 points on senior night and breaking the NCAA Division I women’s basketball all-time scoring record. In 2017, Kelsey was the first overall draft pick by the San Antonio Stars. She continued to play for the franchise after it relocated to Las Vegas as the Las Vegas Aces. In May 2021, Kelsey was selected to represent Team USA on the Women’s 3×3 Basketball Team at the Tokyo Olympics, winning the gold medal. The LJCDS Football program instills the pursuit of excellence alongside teamwork, humility and patience, and provides mentorship from accomplished upperclassmen that is invaluable to younger teammates. We are so grateful to the supportive staff of coaches who steward these athletes in both joyful and challenging times toward achieving their personal growth and exemplifying leadership traits on campus. Plus, we all love Friday night lights!

ACADE M IC S

LJCDS academics are of the highest caliber. Students not only learn from world-class educators in the classroom, but they also take advantage of a myriad of enriching opportunities outside of it. In conjunction with her Environmental Systems Arts and Culture class, ABIGAIL DERENDINGER ’21 worked with the Frosted Faces Foundation to combine two of her passions: animal rescue and environmental sustainability. She volunteered at the foundation and created a compelling video as part of her senior service project, which led to a donation of $1,000 to the Frosted Faces Foundation from the Middle School philanthropy elective.

DONORS FOR 2020–2021

Since joining the LJCDS community, we have prioritized our giving to LJCDS because we see results in action. This became powerfully evident in the school’s ability to navigate through an unprecedented pandemic. We have witnessed the school’s unwavering commitment to protect the entire LJCDS community through advanced safety measures, sophisticated thought leadership and the nimbleness to quickly adapt and enable a safe learning environment. Our family is especially thankful to have our contribution uniquely matched through Sempra Energy’s employee giving program to further help support the important vision of LJCDS. P

For the past 22 years, the ljcds community has had such an incredible impact on our family. As an educator, Country Day has given me an opportunity to develop lifelong relationships with colleagues, students and parents whom I consider to be some of the most dynamic people I have ever met. As parents, we could not be more grateful for all that Country Day has done to create an environment for Olivia and Owen to become kind, thoughtful and confident young people who want to have an impact on the world. We feel our contribution is just one small way to express our gratitude to the ljcds community.

20 20 –20 21 LJCDS

At the beginning of the 2020–2021 school year, LJCDS re-established the Alumni Council, an exceptional group of 15 dedicated alumni volunteers who represent all decades of LJCDS graduates. The Alumni Council acts as a two-way advocate—serving as a bridge between our alumni community and the school.

ALUMNI COUNCIL

With the core mission of enhancing and advancing alumni programming, engagement and philanthropy initiatives, the council has already made tremendous progress in their first year. The success of new alumni events like Torrey Alumni Virtual Happy Hours and the growth of alumni philanthropy initiatives like True Blue Tuesday, the alumni day of giving, is attributable to their commitment and enthusiasm.

OFF I C E OF PH I L A N T HRO PY The Office of Philanthropy partners with families of LJCDS students past and present, alumni, faculty and staff, students and friends to raise funds to bridge what is known as “the gap” between what tuition covers and the cost of an LJCDS education. As Torreys, we believe in the power of philanthropy at school, in the community, across the country and around the world to make real, measurable and positive change. By promoting that environment, our students will become change agents of tomorrow.
