FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES PRESIDENT

BOAR D OF TR U ST EES 2017–2018

Dear LJCDS Community, If you are receiving this, you have likely been a donor and supporter of La Jolla Country Day School, perhaps over many years. Our annual report provides us with the opportunity not only to acknowledge and thank you but also to keep you current on our continued commitment to excellence in teaching and learning.

The best schools are comprised of remarkable educators serving passionate students. The Country Day Fund (CDF) encourages alumni, faculty, staff, parents, grandparents and friends to renew their commitment to the school by making annual gifts. Their collective support enables the school to respond to immediate needs, unexpected opportunities and new ideas.

Faculty members are well-informed in ways that create and enhance learning experiences for all students. Our educators are skilled in managing innovative classroom environments that support individual students and high academic achievement.

LJCDS’s culture of shared leadership allows educators and administrators to bring fresh ideas to the educational dialogue, building on the bedrock of our challenging curriculum and co-curriculum in academics, the arts, athletics, outdoor education, and health and wellness.

It was indeed gratifying to witness the commitment of last year’s Country Day Fund chairs, Laura and George Irvin, who reached out to our entire community to successfully exceed our CDF goal. Along with the astuteness and support of the board of trustees and our faculty and staff, we completed the 2017–2018 school year with a well-balanced budget and a robust overall financial picture.

Excellence in education is expensive. With your continued support and involvement, LJCDS continues to provide unique and important opportunities in Pre-K-12 education. On behalf of all of us at LJCDS, thank you for your generosity and commitment. Your involvement makes a truly significant difference in the life of our school and the future of our students.

W E H O P E YO U E N J OY T H I S Y E A R ’ S A N N UA L F U N D R A I S I N G R E P O RT.

Gratefully,

OFFICERS

FROM T H E AS S ISTAN T H E AD O F S C HO O L F O R DEV ELO PM EN T

Dear La Jolla Country Day School Community, as the assistant head of school for development. I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for all this community has given me. My life has been so powerfully impacted by my experiences with students, parents, faculty, staff and alumni.

I am pleased to share with you the 2017–2018 Report on Giving. The following pages highlight you, our generous donors, who understand the importance of philanthropic giving. Last year, we reached a new milestone with the Country Day Fund raising $1,229,916. Your support and participation generate enthusiasm and inspires others to join you in giving back to the school.

We also acknowledge our volunteers who selflessly give of their time, expertise and talent. We are grateful for our board of trustees and their committee members, our Parents Association, Country Day Fund ambassadors, grandparents and alumni who are dedicated to helping us advance our mission of preparing students for a lifetime of intellectual exploration, personal growth and social responsibility. Together, we are modeling philanthropy for generations to come.

Your support is vital! We are a better, stronger school because of your involvement. I hope you share my pride in all that we have accomplished.

I T I S A N H O N O R T O S E R V E L A J O L L A C O U N T R Y D AY S C H O O L

With gratitude,

Susan Nordenger Assistant Head of School for Development

My LJCDS education was the greatest gift my parents ever gave me. The annual fund helps maintain the caliber of excellence that LJCDS provides for our children.

Every dollar counts, and tuition does not cover the extras that go into making our children’s education truly exceptional.

La Jolla Country Day has played an important role in the person I am today.

I met some of my closest friends there, and the teachers instilled a love of learning that I’m lucky enough to share with students now as a teacher. By giving back to the school, I hope to ensure that current and future students have a similar experience to the one I had all those years ago.

Jason Drogin ’96, LJCDS lifer

Blue Bash Giving Every spring, the Parents Association, in partnership with the development office, hosts an evening fundraising event. Blue Bash raises money for tuition assistance, professional development, endowment and future Parents Association activities.

Donors contribute in many ways, which include purchasing sponsorships or tickets to the event, participating in the silent and live auctions, and raising paddles in support of our funding priorities. We thank our Blue Bash Committee for their leadership and dedication to furthering our mission.

The relationships between students and teachers go beyond the classroom. Teachers become mentors, a strong voice and a positive influence, fostering an invaluable learning experience. We are grateful to all those who have been so passionate and dedicated and have left their mark.

Maite Benito Agahnia ’85 and Kayvon Agahnia, parents of Alex ’17 and Niko ’20

Special Gifts One of the most meaningful ways donors can make a difference is by designating their gift in honor or memory of a teacher, coach, mentor or program that has left a lasting impact on their growth and development. Others choose to highlight and recognize their children or grandchildren when giving back to LJCDS. 62

The further I go in life, the more I think about who and what helped me get to where I am. No institution did more to put me on the path to success than LJCDS. There is no better investment my parents could have made in me and my brothers. It is a pleasure to give back and help more students enjoy the education that I was blessed to have.

C OU N T RY DAY FU N D

I donate to CDF to express my gratitude and to hopefully try and change someone else’s life. I know how beneficial this school is, and I want to give that opportunity to other students. This school was the greatest thing that happened in my life. The number of opportunities, creativity and independence our school offers to us is unreal.

Giving Back

+

Philanthropy at LJCDS: The Rosen Family Philanthropy serves as an integral facet of the La Jolla Country Day School community. Giving back is a central tenet of the school, one that the Rosen family has epitomized for over 20 years. The Rosens have consistently and generously given to the Country Day Fund since 1997, when their oldest daughter, Merritt ’05, started at LJCDS in fifth grade. Their youngest daughter, Madison ’10, started in first grade, and their son, Max ’22, now a freshman, entered as a Tiny Torrey.

Their long legacy of giving is not only due to their commitment to the school as parents but is also a reflection of their strong beliefs in both the school and the importance of education.

When asked what philanthropy means to their family, the Rosens stated, “We believe that everyone has an obligation to give back and make the world a better place. It is unfortunate that every student is not afforded the opportunity to attend a school where excellence is not simply a lofty goal. The benefits to our local communities and the global community provided by schools like LJCDS are incalculable.”

We are deeply appreciative of the Rosen family for the dedication and generosity they have shown our community for 21 years.

HELP US GROW OUR LEGACY FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS
