Year in Review


A Message from the Head of School The 2013-14 school year is certainly a highlight of my 29 years at Miami Country Day. From the initial birthday party to the April 5th celebration, our 75th Anniversary year holds many dear memories. A historical timeline was created and is permanently installed in the Alumni Boardroom, the original school bell was dedicated, our All-School Community Service Day impacted the greater Miami community, $1 million in Annual Giving were raised, the 1938 Society and 7500 Club were created, and so much more. In the Then & Now book published in honor of the 75th, I shared a quote by Henry David Thoreau: “The meeting of two eternities, the past and future…is precisely the present moment.” I am grateful to have been present for the special moment in the school’s history. When Miami Country Day School for boys opened in 1938 with nine students, I’m sure founders L.B. Sommers and C.W. “Doc” Abele had no idea they would be creating history. No doubt if they were alive today, they would be very proud, and perhaps astonished at what their creation has become. Many individuals and families have made Miami Country Day the school it is today. One such individual that will be missed is John C. “Jack” DuBois, who passed away in July. We are thankful Jack was with us on several occasions during the anniversary year, including Homecoming and the April 5th celebration. A special thank you to former faculty and Heads of School who joined us to celebrate: Ken Harris, the school’s 2nd Headmaster and wife Shirley; fourth Headmaster, Bill Creeden and his wife, Debbie; and, Dr. Jack Knapp, the school’s fifth headmaster. People often think of the Head of School as the school’s leader. However, we recognized another group of leaders during the 75th for providing so much of what our students enjoy today. The 1938 Society recognizes the leadership of those benefactors whose

cumulative monetary gifts or irrevocable gifts to Miami Country Day School have reached $1 million or more. The inaugural class includes: C.W. Doc Abele, the Chaplin and Jove Families, Michael J. and Katherine E. Franco, The Garner Foundation, Roger Koch, the MCDS Parents’ Association, and Stanley and Dorothy Whitman. The Garner Foundation, a 1938 Society inaugural member, is not about the foundation as much as it is about the Garner family. There has been a member of the Garner family involved in Country Day for over 60 years. It’s impossible to walk across our campus and not see the impact the Garner family has made. There is hardly a building on campus they have not been a part of either by sharing their time and energy in planning or through generous financial support. The Garners are a wonderful expression of what it means to be philanthropic, and they continue to be very involved in the school, giving generously and joyfully. As we begin 2015, I look forward to recognizing their generous commitment of time and resources as we name the southern half of the campus the Garner Campus. The 2014 Annual Report acknowledges those who continue this philanthropic tradition. From the companies and individuals that support capital needs to the graduates who graciously give back to their alma mater, we thank each and every one of you for being playmakers. Your continued support is essential for Miami Country Day to sustain its mission of educating the whole child as we seek to serve every student, every day. With gratitude,

Dr. John Davies

Playmaker Profile Anne Paulk By Christian A. Martell, Director of Auxiliary Programs & Corporate Operations Being asked to interview a President of any board is quite an intimidating request, especially when that person has held the position since 2002 and managed to make major changes in an organization. Anne Paulk is just that person. Anne spends most of the summer months in the mountains of North Carolina. The day of our interview for this article, I fully expected to sit down somewhere, ask her a few questions and be on my way. In a true testiment of her caring nature, Anne wanted to make sure I saw the best of what her summer hometown had to offer by taking me on a small hike. It was there, overlooking the place where North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee meet, that the following conversation took place. Q: What is your connection to MCDS? A: My family has been involved with the school for a long time. My brothers went to Country Day when it was an all-boys boarding school. My uncle went to Country Day in the ‘50s. My sister Janice was one of the first women to serve on the Board at MCDS. We have always been supporters of education and of Miami Country Day in particular.

Q: How did you become President? A: After being on the Board a few years, I chaired the search committee for the Head of School that brought Dr. Knapp to MCDS. When Dr. Knapp left the school for personal reasons and Dr. Davies was hired, I was approached by the Board leadership shortly after to be President. When my brothers said they would support me if I took it on, I agreed. I originally thought I would serve for four or five years, but I knew I had to stay in the position longer because we were in the middle of the [Securing the Future] campaign. I leave now knowing the school is in a great position, and in need of some new leadership to elevate it to the next level.

A: Private independent schools’ tuition is so beyond a middle class family’s reach at this point that you need to have the financial aid and the endowment behind it to make an independent school education accessible. That’s a board chair’s biggest challenge: making sure Miami Country Day remains a viable and attractive option for as many families as possible?

Q: What was your greatest challenge while serving as President?

Q: What will you do with all of your new found time now that you’re no longer President?

A: I am definitely looking forward to spending more time here in the mountains, but I am also very excited about continuing to chair the Financial Aid Policy Committee of the Board. It is an area that interests me greatly. I think it’s important that the school be diverse in every way possible. That is what America is going to look like, what it does look like, so our graduates need to be exposed to a crosssection of people if they are to be successful when they leave us.

Buildings and Grounds John “Bud” Farrey, B&G Committee Chair As you look around the Miami Country Day School campus, you realize there are many changes that take place each year to our facilities and grounds. The year 2014 was no exception for our continued change and improvement to our campus. Miami Country Day School was fortunate to have the opportunity to purchase the Spectrum Behavioral Systems property to the north of our current campus in 2014. This facility will add over 12,000 square feet of classroom space and additional land for future development of the school’s programs. We are currently working with Zyscovich Architects to develop the plans to renovate this new property as classroom space for Upper and Middle School students. Our Athletic Steering Committee requested a renovation of our current Girls’ and Boys’ Athletic Locker Rooms during 2014. These renovations were accomplished during the summer months, providing new shower rooms, dressing tables, lighting, and flooring as well as refurbished lockers and fresh paint. This renovation project was accomplished under the supervision of Mr. Mike Caban

and his staff. Our athletes and our visiting teams have a much more welcoming locker room space now. Miami Country Day School continues to improve on security and safety each year. In 2014 additional security cameras were installed in all parts of our campus, and the school made the commitment to hire additional security staff and off-duty Miami Shores Police Officers in an effort to continue to provide a safer and more secure environment without feeling like a fortress. The summer of 2014 provided Miami Country Day with the challenge of correcting several issues with the Aqua Flow Paver System on 107th Street. After a year of researching and identifying the problems that led to the instability of the pavers, we were able to undertake the task of removing all pavers from 107th street to correct the situation. This project took 12 weeks to complete, and the street was ready for the start of the school year. Miami Country Day hired Coastal Construction Company in May to provide pre-construction services for the development of both the new Campus Parking Garage and the Center for the Arts. These services include working on the design of construction documents for the facilities with our architects and developing budgets and timelines for the construction of both facilities. We anticipate breaking ground on our new facilities in January 2015.


Development Sean Clancy, Development Committee Chair To be involved with Miami Country Day for 23 years, and to participate in the celebration of the school’s 75th Anniversary, gives me so much pride as a trustee and alumni parent. Our school community had so much to celebrate this past year, and we will have many more things to celebrate moving forward. My focus as Chair of the Development Committee is to raise funds to contribute to the school’s operating budget with gifts to annual giving and capital projects. The school’s mission is supported by a combination of tuition dollars, gifts, and endowment. Thank you to each and every individual, family, company, and foundation that supported Country Day during the 2013-14 school year.

Annual Giving is the foundation of every independent school, and I am so appreciative of everyone who contributed this past year to set a record of securing over $1 million in annual support! A fitting accomplishment during the 75th Anniversary. With a young alumni group, 1981 being the first 12th grade graduates, participation and growth in the area of alumni support increased again this year from $48,280 to $76,130. That is significant. Thank you, alumni, for recognizing and honoring Country Day with your gifts. The Alumni program continues to expand and the celebration of the school’s 75th Anniversary had a positive impact on this focus. In recognition of the school’s 75th Anniversary, criteria and a selection process were established by the Alumni Association to recognize distinguished alumni, and these awards were presented at graduation and will be presented on alternate years to honor an alumnus or alumna. Congratulations to the 2014 honorees: Kim Juanico, Class of 2002, recipient of The L.B. Sommers Award for Distinguished Community Service and Kevin J. King, Class of 1995, recipient of the C.W. “Doc” Abele Alumni Award for Distinguished Service to the School.

that 80% of every gift made in support of the Center for the Arts will be used for construction costs, 10% of every gift will fund building endowment to maintain operations of the facility, and, 10% of every gift will fund program endowment for the Center for the Arts. As the 2013-14 school year came to a close, over $3 million had been pledged to The Campaign for the Arts. Efforts continue and you will learn more as we reach out to the community to raise $16.5 million so we can open the doors of our new Center for the Arts in August 2016. A special thank you to Gerald W. Moore ’68, and his family for leading the way, and to the Board of Trustees, and other individuals and families who are recognized in this report for their pledges and gifts made to this effort as of June 30, 2014. Lastly, as Dr. Davies referenced in his letter, the Board of Trustees passed a resolution in April 2014 to create The 1938 Society for the purpose of recognizing donors for lifetime giving at or exceeding $1 million in gifts. The inaugural class of six was announced and recognized in honor of the school’s 75th Anniversary on Saturday, April 5, 2014. This important group provides valuable endowment dollars for the future as well as dollars that make an impact every year.

Continuing to follow up on the feasibility study conducted in 2012, the planning and leadership phase of a capital campaign was underway during the 2013-14 school year to raise funds to build a Center for the Arts. A board-approved resolution designates

Finance Sol Alan Saad, Finance Committee Chair The school continues to be financially strong, driven by robust enrollment growth and gains in charitable giving and auxiliary programs, complemented by controlled expenditures against budget. Enrollment for the school year 2013-2014 was 1,154, an increase of 57 students, or 5% over the prior year. Net tuition revenue was $25.1 million, up $2.1 million, or 8.9% over the previous year, primarily from the enrollment increase. The Annual Fund raised $1.0 million, an increase of $194,000, or 23.5% over the previous year. The school recorded a net surplus of $1.6 million, or 5.5% of our total $28.8 million operating budget. Investments in school facilities this past year totaled $4.0 million, with the Spectrum property (contingent property located at 11061 NE 6th Avenue)

acquisition at $2.8 million being financed with debt. School administration is acutely aware of the burden that tuition places on our families. The school is committed to moderating tuition increases by providing financial aid and controlling school costs as part of our ongoing efforts to avoid pricing the school out of reach for families who are currently members of the school community and for those that would like to join us. The enrollment strength and charitable giving has allowed the school to limit the tuition rate increase to 4.75% for the past four years. Our strategic plan includes growth in non-tuition revenue, auxiliary programs, and gifts, to mitigate tuition rate increases. In anticipation of the planned 2015 Center for the Arts and Parking Deck construction

projects, the school procured long-term tax exempt bonds of up to $28.5 million, which will be repaid from capital contributions and school operations. The school conducted an extensive RFP process, managed by our independent financial advisor to obtain the most competitive financing terms. The School plans to close on the bonds at the end of January 2015. This past year, the school’s investment manager took over active management of $2 million in operating cash reserves. Additionally the investment assets under management grew by $1.2 million from planned reserve building and endowed campaign gifts. Total endowment and operating investments under management at 6-30-14 were $6.4 million. Our investment advisor is managing both our

long-term endowment assets and shorter term operating cash reserves in accordance with the school’s conservative investment management Policy. The school’s endowment assets will continue to grow with 20% of new capital campaign gifts earmarked for endowment and an annual $250,000 goal to pay back Boarddesignated endowment funds previously used to fund capital improvements. The school’s strategic financial plan prioritizes the pay back of internally borrowed funds. This past year’s strong financial results allowed the school to pay down $1.9 million in internal debt and add $300,000 to our facility repairs reserve account (PPRRSM reserve) to fund future major building and facility repairs. Goals for the upcoming year include managing the cash flow on the planned $25

million in construction projects and financing, continued focus on cost containment to ensure funding increases for faculty compensation and professional development opportunities and new school programs, growing our summer programs as profit centers to provide tuition relief, and continuous process improvements to better serve the school community. Thank you to the many committed members of the school’s Finance Committee that generously volunteer their time and talents and the school’s Business Office for their commitment to ensuring the financial sustainability of our school.

Aspiring to Do Better and Be Better

Christopher Bellows Appointed New President of the Board of Trustees By Christian A. Martell, Director of Auxiliary Programs & Corporate Operations The heat was almost bearable on that summer day when Christopher Bellows, newly appointed President of the Board of Trustees, trekked across the golf course to make the first of many early morning meetings at the Business Office. By the time we sat down to chat, he had already been briefed on the challenges facing the 107th Street renovation, summer programs, fundraising, facilities, and a list of other items too long to name here. But, rather than seeming overwhelmed by the information, he looked confident and ready, ready to give back to a place that has given him so much.

A Sense of Altruism For Chris, a native of Miami Shores, MCDS was always “the school in the backyard” that his dad was involved with. Chris’s father, Pete Bellows, was a founding member of the Board of Trustees and was essential in the school’s decision to add an Upper School. “The connection had always been with my dad,” said Chris, a graduate of Miami Edison High School. “When my dad passed away in 2009, I stepped up my involvement.” Already a member of the Board at the time, Chris took on more responsibilities and threw himself into committee work. He also increased his attendance at school functions and sporting events. “I came to appreciate more the work and the passion of the people – the people you never hear about, ever read about, all the people that are here all day long, including those that don’t even work here and are volunteers, but believe in the mission of the school and want to do everything possible to provide the best possible environment for the students,” he said. It was at that point, that Chris thought, “I can do better. I can be better.” Now, Chris shares these stories with his colleagues at Holland and Knight, where he has worked for the past 30 years on one of most well-regarded appellate teams in the state of Florida, whenever they complain about not getting a raise or promotion.

“I tell them about these faculty members and others like them, who are not getting paid to be [at games or events], but are there working hard, because they care about carrying out the mission of the school and making this a better place for the students,” he said. “It is this altruistic character in the school, in the way that it commits itself to the students, that makes it easy to say yes when they ask you to do something.”

and is committed to recreating a similar environment at Board meetings for those with different perspectives and opinions.

A Commitment to Others

Chris has already committed 12 years to the school as a trustee. Of the 34 current Board members, only seven have served for longer.

In a classic blue blazer, khakis, and striped tie, Chris looked the part of an honors graduate of Sewanee: The University of the South and magna cum laude graduate of the University of Miami School of Law and member of its Law Review. What did not come across as readily is his long-term commitment to increasing educational opportunities for students from under-resourced areas in Miami. In 1994, Chris co-founded the Right Trak program with former NFL player Lawrence Wright and Lawrence’s high school counselor to help inner-city students get the most out of life. Some of Chris’s students would go on to enroll and graduate from MCDS, including Chris Polite ’02 and Roy Brown ’12. “Bellows is someone who has spent the majority of his adult life committing himself to serving others, and his willingness to do so has been of great benefit to a number of people, especially our youth,” said Polite. Chris Polite is imbedded in the fabric of Miami Country Day as a coach, a Lower School teaching assistant, and Summer Programs Coordinator. “What’s special about Bellows’ giving is that he does it for the right reasons and never expects anything in return. He is constantly pushing people to find their light and more times than not is able to guide them towards it.”

“I really do care about all of the people on the Board,” he said. “Many of them I have known for a very long time, others I will get to know in time. They are smart people, good people, committing their time to the school.”

Ready to Serve

“[Serving as President] wasn’t anything that I ever imagined, thought about, or aspired to,” Chris said. He still recalls the shock from being asked by Anne Paulk, the former President of the Board and current Chair of the Financial Aid Policy Committee, joking that he thought she might be asking him to step off the Board since he had served for so long. Anne, however, appreciated Chris’s “legal insight” and the “social consciousness of Miami’s bigger picture” that he brought to the Board. “Our school is a better place due to his direct efforts,” she said. Dr. John Davies describes Chris as “a powerful role model to students and adults alike,” who genuinely reflects the core values of Miami Country Day School. “I don’t know if I’m really the right person, but I’ll do whatever the school needs me to do,” Chris said.

Chris’s commitment to giving those of all backgrounds an opportunity to thrive and succeed is one of the things he will prioritize as President. “To the extent that it is possible, diversity is what I want to have on the Board and in anything the school is involved in,” he said. “I think that will make for a better school.” Chris recognized how MCDS has been like a “sanctuary,” a “safe place,” for him and the students he has mentored over the years,

Tom & Julie Pronesti

Founding Deans of the 7500 Club

– Dr. John Davies It was a cool night at the home of Steven and Claudia Brod when the conversation over hand-rolled sushi shifted from a successful Annual Giving year to the school’s upcoming 75th anniversary. Development Committee Chair Sean Clancy, then Middle School Chairs Thomas and Julie Pronesti, and members of the Development Office looked around them at that year’s Palm Society event and wondered how the attendees could step up their giving efforts in a 75th year. It was then that the 7500 Club first took root in the minds of the Pronesti’s, the group’s Founding Deans. They hoped to attract at least ten members to the newlycreated donor group by the end of the school’s 75th anniversary year. “Lucky for us, the 7500 Club was received by the school community with open arms. People were excited to join, and the more people that joined, the more exciting it became,” Julie said. Members of the community stepped up and increased their gift from the previous year – some more than doubling their giving – in order to join and show their passion for Miami Country Day. The fiscal year ended with a total of 50 founding members in the 7500 Club and over $475,000 raised for Annual Giving, the most money raised by any one club in the history of the school. Now in our 76th year as a school, the 7500 Club continues to be the driving force behind the Annual Giving program, as it simultaneously celebrates the first 75 years of the school’s founding and prepares us for success in the next 75 years. “Our goal for 2015 is to have 75 members in the 7500 Club,” Tom Pronesti said, “75 members would raise over $500,000, which is more than the total Annual Giving goal was when we first got involved a few years ago!” Leading by example, the Pronesti’s have already renewed their Annual Giving commitment, and are looking forward to another great year for the 7500 Club. 13

Moving Forward



Campaign for the The Center for the Arts The highest priority identified by the school’s current Strategic Plan is to raise money to build a Center for the Arts. The arts are not an extracurricular for our students. A Center for the Arts will provide the venue and environment that speaks to our Mission. Future plans may include a new gym, cafeteria, or science center, but currently, our number one priority is building a Center for the Arts, which will benefit all of our students from PK-3 – 12th grade. Current design documents provide for a 35,000 square foot Center for the Arts to include a 650-seat auditorium. A lobby, exhibit spaces, a dance studio, a ceramics patio, and much more are included and can be identified on the floor plans and list of naming opportunities included with this packet.

The Campus Parking Garage When we build the Center for the Arts, we are eliminating parking spaces in the North Lot, so we must replace them. Parking is currently a challenge, so this new garage will be helpful to allow more parent and student parking. The parking garage will have 350 parking spaces. In addition, Miami-Dade County requires a garage to address campus parking and traffic issues, and they would not grant the school a permit for building a Center for the Arts without a campus garage.

The Architects Zyscovich is an integrated master planning, architecture, and interior design firm with offices in Miami, West Palm Beach, Orlando, New York City, and Bogotá, Colombia. Since 1977, the firm has focused on making People Places—positively impacting the lives of people with their award-winning designs throughout the country and around the world. The Zyscovich Education Studio consists of over 40 highly-trained professionals who focus exclusively on the design of award-winning public, private, and charter schools. Notably, the group served as the studio for our school’s Katherine E. Franco Center for Learning Resources. As educators adopt a new paradigm of education for the 21st Century, Zyscovich Architects is committed to the creation of educational facility design that supports and enhances these efforts. Their designs are focused on the creation of a “culture of inquiry” and lifelong learners.

Arts

The Timeline The goal is to break ground on the parking garage in late January/early February 2015. If started at this time, the garage can be open by August 2015. The plan is to break ground on the Center for the Arts at the same time for the most effective cost, logistics, and timeline purposes. It is anticipated that Center for the Arts would be open for the 2016–17 school year.

Construction, Financing, & Campaign Center for the Arts Construction Costs $17,700,000 Parking Garage Construction Costs $5,800,000 Total Construction Costs $23,500,000 Endowment Funds $3,000,000 Total Funding $26,500,000 ($6,000,000) Tax Exempt Financing for Garage ($4,000,000) Tax Exempt Financing for Center for the Arts $16,500,000 Campaign Gifts
