community, resilience and creativity Dear friends, During my tenure as MB’s Head of School, I’ve talked a lot about the importance of experiential learning and hands-on subjects like engineering, entrepreneurship and social innovation. We’ve posited that in a world characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity — what many refer to by the acronym VUCA — a truly world-class education must help students develop resilience and creativity, teaching them to apply knowledge to new situations and solve real-world problems.

Little did I know that the Covid-19 pandemic would force us to confront these realities and put those essential skills into practice at the institutional level. In a very real way, the last year has caused all of us to return to school and become students again.

Since last March, we have faced significant uncertainty and the uneasiness that comes from not having answers to questions or even agreement as to what constitutes valid information. We’ve had to reimagine processes and activities we’ve long taken for granted while also managing the emotional anguish caused by the dual pandemics of Covid-19 and systemic inequality and racial injustice. All of us at times have felt helpless and weary, wondering, “Can this really be happening?”

As I reflect on these events and feelings of the past year, I’m thankful that our three areas of strategic focus — Expert Thinking, Global Awareness and Ethical Leadership — have prepared MB to navigate such uncertain times. Rather than being overwhelmed, the MB community put its values into action — doing the homework, finding the best information, and bringing diverse, talented voices together to make decisions. We’ve tried to be creative and adaptable in the face of changing information. And, as we encourage our students to do, we have sought ways to bring our collective voices to bear on issues of equality and justice.

None of us expected to take such a crash course in VUCA. And while some of its lessons have been difficult and tragic, I am convinced that the events of the past year will help MB emerge as a stronger, more resilient and just institution.

Of course, this Annual Report commemorates the entire 2019-20 school year. It seems hard to imagine now, but there were nine months before March break 2020 when the pandemic forced us to finish the year remotely. There were many things to celebrate amidst so much national turmoil. You’ll find many highlights in these pages and in my own personal list opposite.

As I write this letter, we’re ending the momentous year 2020 on the verge of some astonishing accomplishments: completing the historic $65 million MB Believes campaign, surpassing our $15 million goal for endowed scholarship, launching an $8 million renovation and expansion of our Lower School, and establishing a new senior position to lead our programs in diversity, equity and inclusion. I am immensely proud of this community both for its response to the current crisis and for its commitment to forging an even stronger future.

I am inordinately grateful for the generosity of spirit and giving, the sense of partnership and the creativity and resilience that have carried our community through these difficult times. You all are the reason MB not only endures but thrives.

In friendship,

Matt Glendinning Head of School

Matt’s Most Meaningful Moments of 2019-2020 Unveiling plans for the new Lower School during a beautiful fall Harvest Dinner, this year on the Back Circle with a bonfire near Campanella Field.

Watching our Girls Varsity Soccer team win their first state championship since 1995; I’ll never forget the thrilling semi-final game which they won in penalty kicks.

Honoring Denise Monk, after an amazing 38 years at MB, with a parade through the entire student body, faculty and staff.

Losing our dear friend and philanthropist, Dean Woodman ’46, on December 19, 2019.

Watching an amazing series of theatrical performances in the Woodman Center, from our fall MBinRep performances of Shakespeare in Love and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, the middle school’s Little Mermaid Jr., and, of course, given my musical history, the lower school performance of Frozen Kids was unforgettable.

Sending a message on March 18 that I never could have imagined writing: that we would not be coming back to campus after March break but would instead be learning remotely.

May 2, the day 33 faculty and staff personally delivered yard signs to the homes of 102 members of the Class of 2020.

Seeing our parents partner with so many faculty and staff to design the first-ever MBeThere virtual event and then watching the incredible response of our community as we raised more than $145,000 for emergency scholarship support to help families financially impacted by Covid.

Standing on the stage in the Grove during a completely re-designed Commencement, welcoming every member of the Class of 2020 to receive their diplomas in person in front of their families in small groups over a 6-hour timeframe.

Watching from my back yard throughout the summer as the old artificial turf got pulled up and a beautiful new turf (and Quaker head) was installed.

And, lastly…. reopening the MB campus and starting the 2020-2021 school year on time on September 2, 2020 as we welcomed a near-record 789 students.

School Reimagined - Spring 2020 @ MB

It started with an announcement....

Faculty members in lower school dropped off packets to our youngest learners and to say hello.

Faculty and staff recorded special heartfelt messages to our students and community before the start of distance learning.

MBeThere 2020 became a 24-hour virtual fundraiser, with all proceeds going towards scholarship support for families affected by Covid. See pg. 10 for more.

Bringing the Classroom Inside Faculty worked diligently to bring the same level of academics to students from afar. Pictured: the water cycle and a virtual zoo visit!

The end of the year is always busy at MB, and that didn’t

change with Covid! The fifth, eighth and twelfth grade classes woke up to yard sign deliveries, the spring musical was still performed, and end of the year (virtual) ceremonies all went off without a hitch!

Just Dance The spring musical, Reaching Glory performance didn’t go on as originally planned but the cast and crew didn’t let that stop them.

Students and faculty worked tirelessly from March through June to create music videos! With the music created remotely, storyboarding each second of every video, and coordinating all costumes, lights, props, shot-angles to all actors, it’s easy to say that the cast and crew showed their resiliency and ability to adapt.

MB Camps ran this summer, as well. Although limited to smaller groups and outside activities, children still had fun with this return to “normalcy.”

Class of 2020 Spring YARD SIGN DELIVERY (May 2) Upper school advisors and administrators delivered signs to 102 homes of our seniors to surprise each of them with a special delivery and say hello!

Doing Good David Husted’s, Director of the Y-Lab, PPE Project: David ’86 (top) made dozens of PPE face shields by using the Y-Lab’s 3D printer and donated them to the ICU at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital, the Providence Community Health Center and local healthcare and emergency workers. Middle School science classrooms donated goggles and masks (right) to local hospitals as well.

FRONT GATE BANNER (May 12) MB decided that yard signs weren’t enough and wanted to give everyone in town the chance to see and applaud the class! Many seniors came by to take selfies and posted them on social media.

SENIOR BREAKFAST (May 15) While MB couldn’t host the traditional pancake breakfast for the seniors on their last day of classes, the school sent every member of the Class of 2020 a Grubhub gift certificate so they could have their own celebratory meal delivered.

YEARBOOK PICKUP AND CLASS OF 2020 POP UP SHOP (May 20) Thanks to the generosity of the Parents’ Association and senior parents Elizabeth and Gary Goldberg ’87 (and SquadLocker), each senior was given a generous gift certificate to spend on one-of-a-kind MB Class of 2020 branded merchandise!

STUDENT ATHLETE SENIOR DAY (May 27 & 28) Athletics put together special Senior Day celebrations which honored and recognized our senior athletes alongside their families and coaches over the course of two days.

ACADEMIC AWARDS (May 30) The Upper School’s annual Academic Awards became a live Zoom event which allowed the entire Upper School community to celebrate together the welldeserved recognition of student achievement.

Teacher Appreciation Week On Tuesday, May 5, an eager team of administrators, armed with GPS and bags of bread, cookies and coffee from Seven Stars, criss-crossed R.I. and Mass. to celebrate our hard-working teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you to the Parents’ Association for supporting this effort.

SENIOR CARAVAN (June 7) MB partnered with a Senior Parent committee to create a celebratory campus caravan, drive-through experience. Families were greeted and cheered along a path—with classmates ahead of and behind them. Each senior decorated their car and even danced along the route! The event culminated with the traditional ‘building of the class.’

SENOR ART SHOW and BACCALAUREATE (June 10) The tradition of holding the senior art show before Baccalaureate continued this year, even from afar—a terrific digital video exhibit of artwork was shared.

This traditional Quaker Meeting of Reflection is a meaningful and solemn experience to provide and receive messages intended for the Class of 2020 or community as a whole. This year’s event, while virtual, was no less meaningful.

What began as a distance learning project for MB musicians turned into a beautiful collaborative tribute to the Class of 2020, with tributes to seniors from the MB community added into the visual fabric of the piece (edited by Trey Sullivan ’20).

COMMENCEMENT (June 13) Graduation was live and in the Grove! The need for social distancing required MB to be creative, but an experience was designed that provided each senior and their family the opportunity to come to campus and walk across the stage to receive their diploma with a small audience present. The day began with a video experience including many of the traditional Commencement program elements and concluded with a unique Zoom event celebrating the Inner Light of each senior.

Alumni/ae Soccer Game: Players from across five decades were represented, including members of the 2019 Girls Div. II State Champions, so this was a very competitive match.

Reunion 2020 took an entirely different form, but members of the classes ending in 0 and 5 (and some of their human and feline/ canine family members) reconnected from around the world.

How else but via Zoom? As a result of great committee work, alumni gathered in Virtual Front Circle Receptions by class. It was great to have alumni from around the globe able to attend.

Reunion Committee members

Washington D.C. Metro Area: Ann Tutwiler & Bob Samors ’77 kindly hosted a wonderful gathering at their home as everyone enjoyed the great company. This turned out to be the last regional in-person alumni event of 2020.

NYC Gathering: Alumni from throughout the City gathered in Blackbarn, shared farm to table food and beverages and heard a great update from Matt Glendinning.

Los Angeles Dinner: From left to right, Rich Morin ’82, Matt Glendinning, Jason Weiss’93, Grace Weiss and Jeb Barrows ’83.

MB Connects: share your passion, shine your light For more than two centuries, Moses Brown alumni have demonstrated deep care for their school, giving back in myriad ways. It’s this enduring spirit of service and stewardship that has sustained the school across generations.

Leveraging this tradition, the Alumni Association has launched MB Connects, a program designed to broadly connect the passions and experiences of our incredible alumni with real needs of the school—in the classroom, on the field, in the theater and around the country and in service of students, teachers, staff, and fellow alumni. This unique initiative allows alumni to engage with the school community on their terms, in ways that are personally meaningful. Given our values as a Friends school, we believe that each of us is unique and has something of value to offer. So it’s time to share your passions and let your light shine.

Witnessing History Sarah Lindblom ’07 Sarah Lindblom ’07 has enjoyed staying in touch with MB over the years, not only as a connected alumnus but also as a pro volunteer in the school archives. When the head of school put out a call for volunteers for an exhibit about the school history, Sarah was one of the first to step up, putting in time and research this past winter before everything closed down. “When Matt Glendinning reached out to me last year asking if I’d be involved in an exhibit of objects documenting the history of MB, I couldn’t say yes fast enough,” Sarah recalls.

Sarah looks back on her MB years fondly and says that Moses Brown taught her to be disciplined, resourceful, critical and ambitious; she appreciates MB’s combination of care and challenge, critical examination and creative thinking.

She has worked in archives at Smith College, the Rhode Island Jewish Historical Society, Rhode Island Historical Society and Library of Congress and has her MLIS from the University of Maryland. She is passionate about seeing MB’s archives become an accessible educational resource for the school and larger community. “While I was a student, I always had a vague sense of the school’s deep-rooted history from the oil paintings in Alumni Hall and the stories told by long-serving faculty members. Now as a trained archivist with professional experience and a mandate to delve into the school’s rare materials, I was excited to be a part of the effort building a solid display of research for the education and edification of the entire MB community.”

And so last year, Moses Brown began renovation of the Ward (Bird) Room and the Archives in Middle House, to turn the Archives room into a museum-quality exhibit of MB history, led

by Rebecca Leuchak P ’04 ’09, an MB Trustee, a Quaker, and a Professor of Art History. Faculty, staff, students and alumni began researching in order to bring to life the objects and people of the school’s past, exploring the Archives to better understand Moses Brown the man as well as Moses Brown the institution.

Many contributed to this effort to realize the creation of a museum-quality exhibit presenting the story of the Moses Brown Archives. In recognition of his long-term commitment to our school and preserving MB’s history, the Class of ’67 — with support from the Classes of ’64 and ’65 - provided the financial support to name the archives display place in honor of long-time faculty member, Doc Odell. The generosity of our alumni has been essential to this important work.

“We are the ones left to witness, as completely as we can, everything Moses Brown began,” Sarah says.

Currently on pause due to the pandemic, the exhibit — titled “Witness My Hand, Moses Brown” — will be unveiled as soon as it’s safe to do so.

Thank you, Sarah, for your work on this important project. We will look forward to unveiling the new exhibit post-pandemic.

Sarah Lindblom ’07 worked closely with members of the exhibit team—including faculty/ staff colleagues Anne Krive and Laura Bennett and Trustee Rebecca Leuchak—to comb through materials belonging to Moses Brown himself.

Interested in reconnecting?

There are unlimited ways to give back, whether you volunteer in a classroom, mentor a student, advise a senior project, talk to a class or student group or just stop by for story time. Contact the Alumni Office today to learn how you can contribute to MB’s learning community!

Zach Kenyon ’88, R.I. EMS Chief, returned to campus to participate in two Immersion programs. He spoke with students and faculty about the realities of homelessness and later that week joined his former advisor, (now also an EMT) Kevin Matson’s Immersion 911…

What’s Your Emergency?

Peter Morse ’82 enjoyed working with students in the Exploration of Modern Art Immersion led by faculty members Elena Mansolillo and Chandra Harris. Peter demonstrated techniques of painting and also spoke about modern sculpture.

Students then took part in an “Encouragement Critique.”

MBAA Board members came to campus to celebrate the seniors and personally give them MBAA YETI tumblers. Maggie Moran ’08 handed them out with a special wand. John Baldwin ’94 is pictured with Howard Yang ’15 who captured the event.

Thanks to our 2019-20 Parent volunteers

The partnership between home and school is at the center of a Moses Brown education and it could not happen without the robust support of the MB Parents’ Association, which plays an active role in the life and culture of the school.

The list on the opposite page outlines just some of the ways the PA and our parent community support our teachers and children every day.

MBeThere, Dream Big took place on May 20, 2020 as a 24-hour virtual fundraising event hosted by the Parents’ Association. The event began with a live kick-off from the Woodman Family Community & Performance Center which included remarks from Matt Glendinning, parent John Donahue and upper school English teacher Claudia Perlini.

There was also a surprise recorded music video from the upper school chorus singing “Rise Up” in honor of the Class of 2020.

In partnership with the school, the Parents’ Association decided that all proceeds from the event would support scholarship for MB students with the primary focus to keep the Moses Brown community intact by supporting families whose needs may have changed due to Covid-19.

“We’ve always known that Moses Brown was a special place, but MBeThere 2020 exceeded our wildest dreams. Your commitment to every single child in our community is inspiring. All we can say is THANK YOU for showing up, THANK YOU for your care, and THANK YOU for rallying to provide emergency scholarship support for current families.”

Given the generosity of the entire MB community and the involvement of over 45 faculty and staff (including, top to bottom, Sarah McShane, Emilia Peña-Disla, – Katie Kinnell and and the College Counseling Office) Gina Gesamondo Martish, MBeThere 2020 Co-Chairs and 270 contributors, MBeThere’s virtual event netted $143,227 for emergency scholarship, surpassing the 2019 proceeds by $55,000.

These additional scholarship funds helped 24 families to stay at MB for the 20-21 school year.

est. 2016 True Blue was established in 2016 to celebrate and recognize MB’s volunteer leaders, our most loyal contributors (The Grove) and leadership donors to the school (The Front Circle). True Blue is grounded in the sense that we all have an MB story, we all have something to contribute, something to offer—and that if we each take the simple act of doing what we can, the collective power of our community is transformational. Our annual True Blue event (and Annual Report recognition listing) embodies this ethos by celebrating all the ways people ‘give’ to our school. We invite and honor our largest philanthropic donors, our most loyal contributors, and all who have made a meaningful commitment of time, passion and expertise as volunteers. This year, Fran Sargent ’48 even celebrated his 90th birthday during the 2020 True Blue event!

Happy 90th birthday Fran!

THANK YOU FOR BEING TRUE BLUE! For last year’s True Blue event (January 24, 2020), 16 MB students were featured in a video talking about gratitude.

Thank you to our amazing students!

What does TRUE BLUE mean to you?

“Being True Blue, to me, means like a time to be thankful and celebrate the people who donated and also all the important people who have helped us here at MB.” –Ivy ’26 “Staying true to Moses Brown and donating money when they need it and in the places they need it most! And just being a nice person that gives, instead of takes.” –Casey ’25

How would you thank the MB Community for being TRUE BLUE? “I would tell them I’m very thankful and I would repeat it over and over so they will never forget it!” –Dimitri ’27 “Thank you.” –Frankie ’34 “Hug them or say I’m really happy about you.” –Lexi ’31

How could you be TRUE BLUE one day?

“I think I would do all that I could because MB does so much for me that I want to repay the favor in any way possible!” –Kenzie ’24 “During my time at MB I’ve been involved in the string orchestra, so something I’d like to do is give my time or any extra resources that I had back to that program.” –Quincy ’21 “Maybe volunteering in the library and helping out at lunch or even helping build a new section of the field house or something!” –Ivy ’26 “One way I think I could give back to Moses Brown in the future is by volunteering to help coach the sports teams.” –Harry ’20

Since the start of the MB Believes Campaign, the endowment has more than doubled to $50.28 million (as of 12/31/20) vs. $22.13 million on 6/30/13.

MB Believes...Transforming the future of education at Moses Brown.

In the first few years of Matt Glendinning’s tenure as Head of School, he led the community through a creative, inclusive and rigorous visioning process. From the start, the strategic planning was guided by a dual strategy: affirming and sustaining the bedrock values and educational philosophy that have been at the core of our Friends school for 236 years, while also exploring new ways to grow and innovate to meet the unique needs of this rising generation of MB students. On this spread and the 10 pages to follow, you will find the story of MB Believes and the ways it has transformed our community and the educational experience of our students.

Matt Glendinning challenges our school community to be bold in thinking about the future of education and the world. He hosts 42 Discernment Dialogues locally and around the country, engaging more than 1,000 community members in a process of designing a vision for MB’s future.

MB Believes is centered on three big ideas, three trends on the horizon, a convergence of attributes that empower students to live lives of leadership, purpose and fulfillment: Expert Thinking, Global Awareness and Ethical Leadership.

This constellation of values, our so-called North Stars, provide a framework for impactful teaching and deep learning.

Nov. 8, 2017 - MB dedicates the Y-Lab, transforming Alumni Hall into a state-of-the-art 5,000 square foot engineering and maker space, complete with 3-D printing, laser cutting, large format printing, a CNC mill and a robotics lab. More than 1,000 individual classes and educational activities take place in the Y-Lab each year.

Dec. 9, 2016 - The Woodman Family Community & Performance Center, connected to a completely renovated Jones Library, is dedicated, creating a new artistic, social, spiritual and intellectual heart of the campus.

MB’s first-ever EXPO weekend is held October 17-18, 2013. More than 800 people gather in The Grove as the school unveils MB Believes: a Vision for Learning, People, and Place for the first time.

Dean Woodman ʼ46 and his wife, Jane, are among those in attendance. They establish a new level of expectation and ambition for our school in announcing the largest gift in MB history, $5 million, to make possible the dream of the Woodman Family Community & Performance Center.

New endowed programs in Engineering & Design and Entrepreneurship & Social Innovation, along with enhanced math and coding curriculum and the expansive use of Project-Based Learning, provide a new web of educational opportunities that develop creative problem solving skills, encouraging students to apply their knowledge to design solutions for real-world challenges.

The school makes dramatic improvements to its baseball (McCullough Field), soccer (Wasserman Field) and tennis (Cooper Courts) facilities – and installs a new turf field on Campanella.

Endowed Program in Teaching Excellence, MB permanently endows the funding that makes it possible to double the annual budget for the ongoing training, education, and professional development of our teachers.

Dec. 9, 2017 - MB establishes a unique partnership with SquashBusters, a 25+ year-old organization that uses squash as a vehicle to transform the education of under-served children, and dedicates

the Gorgi Family Squash & Education Center.

Kenya, Summer 2019

To help students develop empathy, cultural competency, and a sense of their place in the broader world,

MB established a Travel, Research and Immersion Program (TRIPs); sending students on amazing educational experiences to places as far away as Kenya (seen above) and Nepal, and as close as northern New England, Washington, DC and New York City.

Thousands of students have had a TRIP experience in the past seven years, with MB providing financial assistance to ensure that cost is not a prohibitive barrier.

MB makes historic gains in the socio-economic, racial and ethnic diversity of the student body, enhancing the strength of the educational experience for every student. Thanks in large part to $15 million in new endowed scholarship fundraising and the growth of The Moses Brown Fund ($1.25M+ annually), 40% of MB students now in 2020-2021 receive scholarship support (323 students each year) and the community includes 222 students of color (28% of the student body).

June, 2021 - To complete the story of MB Believes and after raising nearly $2 million in new gifts in the final days of 2020, the school will begin an $8 million complete renovation and expansion of the Lower School. The new educational home for our youngest learners will open in early 2022!

Pictured above is the Debbie Goff Library, part of The Commons, a reinvention of the school’s old heat plant which will also serve as an assembly space and home for foreign language learning.

scholarship & Athletic F We believe in best minds engaging with broadest perspectives.

What Does Scholarship Have To Do With Upgrading Facilities?

• 72% of new applicant families request financial aid, up from 43% just over a decade ago.

Affordability is the #1 challenge MB faces in enrolling great students and sustaining its tradition of excellence.

• More than 80% of middle and upper school students participate in at least one competitive sport, so increased funding for need-based scholarship* is critical to enrolling outstanding students who love to compete.

Importance of Scholarship at MB Thanks to the MB Believes campaign, Moses Brown has made unprecedented investments in its people, programs and facilities, and continues to attract a vibrant, talented and diverse applicant pool. At the same time, demand for financial aid has grown exponentially in recent years:

• 72% of new applicants now request need-based scholarship support, up from 43% in 2007-2008.

MB has risen to meet this challenge by:

• increasing annual scholarship funding to $6.8 million for the 2020-21 school year.

• growing the number of students receiving scholarship (323 students or 40% of student body in 2020-21).

• raising $14.9 million in endowed scholarship as part of the MB Believes Campaign.

• While in recent years MB has upgraded or built new facilities for many of our athletic programs, there continue to be increasingly urgent needs in athletic facilities.

With this unique $7 million effort, the MB Administration and Board of Trustees are challenging our community to address both of these critical needs which are essential to sustained success on and off the field. For every dollar given to the Endowed Scholarship-Athletic Facility Initiative, 50% funds new need-based endowed scholarships and 50% supports one of three athletic facility priorities. * Students are admitted to MB based on the merits of their academic achievements and personal qualities/ talents; the school provides scholarships to students and their families based solely on financial need.

Even with this historic progress, the increasing pace of growth in demand for need-based scholarships threatens MB’s ability to enroll the most talented students.

“Words cannot express how thankful and blessed we are by our child’s acceptance and scholarship. You have seen the potential that we see in our child and have generously provided the support that makes it possible for him to attend. This opportunity will change his life and in turn, the lives of people he comes in contact with. We are excited to watch the future unfold and see the ripple effect of good things to come from it. We are confident that he will represent Moses Brown well.

We thank you again for this wonderful opportunity and look forward to being part of your community.”

- Message from current MB family

Major Upgrades to Moran Field: $400,000 We seek to ensure our girls’ softball facility is among the best in the region, and on par with our recently upgraded baseball field.

c Facilities Initiative We believe in excellence on and off the field.

In August 2020, the turf at Campanella Field was replaced with the latest in artificial turf fields.

$7 million Endowed Scholarship-Athletic Facilities Initiative Create Home ‘Stadium:’ $2.3 million The most intensely used MB athletic facility, Campanella Field, is home to four programs—field hockey, football, and boys’ and girls’ lacrosse— and is utilized by boys’ and girls’ soccer, numerous summer camps and as a lower school outdoor play area. MB seeks to transform this space, creating a stadium that will make Quaker Nation proud and serve the hundreds of students who call it their athletic home. The project is slated to include: • Replaced playing surface with the latest in artificial turf fields (completed Summer 2020) • Reimagine spectator sideline, including new seating and plaza (to be integrated into plans for the new lower school) • New scoreboard and press box • Safety netting and equipment storage

Create New Fitness Center: $800,000 MB has developed exciting plans to transform an underutilized 3,900 square foot auxiliary gym in the Waughtel-Howe Field House (known as ‘The Box’) into a stateof-the-art fitness and strength & conditioning center (see rendering at right). Whether helping student-athletes prepare for competition or rehabilitate from an injury, and promoting the health and wellness of our entire community, this new facility will be an incredible resource for everyone at MB. The project is slated to include: • Complete interior renovation of the space (flooring, lighting, electric, painting, etc.)

• Installation of windows to allow natural light and visibility from interior hallway • New HVAC system to allow for comfortable year-round use • The latest in fitness and strength and conditioning equipment • Flexible design that would allow the space to host fitness classes

young learners center We believe in the wondrous experiences of young learners and the inspired spaces that propel them.

$8 million Lower School Project to Break Ground in June 2021 On January 13, 2021, MB’s Board of Trustees gave final approval to move ahead with the long-awaited $8 million complete renovation and expansion of the Lower School.

Construction will begin in June and our youngest learners will move into a new facility in early 2022. Over the past year, dozens of alumni and parents contributed more than $2 million in new gifts, surpassing our fundraising goal and making this project a reality.

This major capital investment comes on the heels of a period of dynamic program growth under the leadership of Head of Lower School OJ Martí. Key advancements include an enhanced math curriculum, expansion of coding, technology, and engineering, the development of a Student Support Team to better meet the individual social-emotional, language/reading, and math needs of each student, and new experiential education and travel opportunities. All this has led to our largest elementary enrollment in a decade.

Now, our top-to-bottom renovation and expansion of the Lower School will allow our caring faculty to further stretch their educational goals and ambitions, providing our students with a state-of-the-art facility in which to explore, learn, grow and thrive.

A top-to-bottom renovation and expansion of the lower school will include a well-designed entrance plaza with enhanced security, ADA accessibility, larger spaces for early childhood grades (N-1), an imaginative play studio, administrative offices and The Commons, home to the Debbie Goff Library (shown above) and foreign language learning.

Grades 2-4 will be located on a completely renovated upper level, featuring larger and reimagined classrooms, a music studio, a STEM hub called the Wonder Lab and a Learning Lab, designed for individual learning support and enrichment.

In the fall of 2022, the 5th grade will become part of MB’s middle school, providing students a doubling of instructional time in science and expanded world language opportunities. They will enjoy increased offerings in performing and visual arts, as well as co-curricular competition in athletics, math and robotics.

Seeking Support for Outdoor Play Space We’ve reached the initial fundraising goal for Lower School project, but we still have work to do. The final piece of our vision is a new outdoor learning and play space designed specifically for our youngest students (estimated at $570,000 and not part of the core project budget and fundraising to date).

We are now pushing ahead to make this final aspiration a reality for our Lower School.

Visit www.mosesbrown.org/lsproject to learn more about our current and developing plans (including renderings and a 360 degree virtual tour) for the LS project.

To explore specific giving opportunities, including many desirable named spaces, please contact Perry Buroker at pburoker@mosesbrown.org or 401.831.7350 X 289.

Gifts of all sizes are welcomed and encouraged; pledges can be paid over 3-5 years.

The entire 9th grade class went to Maine with 13 faculty members and 16 Senior Peer Leaders in August of 2019 for the annual Freshmen Orientation Trip.

We believe in learning through experience and in applying knowledge to solve real problems.

More than four million people worldwide took part in the Global Climate Strike on September 20, 2019 including a group of MB students as part of the Providence event. They gathered and marched through the city on their way to the state capitol.

Jillian Paquette ’20 - Senior Project feature: For her Senior Project in June 2020, Jillian decided to make a bird field guide (left) using her own photography which combined her passions pulled from two classes she took at MB (Ornithology and Photography). The book provided information and photos of 85 bird species that she saw between January and June of 2020, along with interviews and other information.

“A special part of my senior project was to share the final product with the community in order to share my work and my passion. I want to do my best to educate people about one aspect of the natural world we all live in. My ultimate goal would be that even one person takes a look at the outside world a little differently.”

In our work to build philanthropic support for today’s students and teachers, we also value the ways each person contributes to MB. With this values-centered approach in mind, we created The Grove to recognize our most loyal contributors. Members have given to MB for at least five consecutive years, starting on July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2020. Years of consecutive giving are noted in italicized numbers following the donor’s name.

Based on the limitations of MB’s electronic donor records, 36 years of consecutive giving is the maximum we are able to confirm.

The Front Circle MB’s annual leadership contributors

The Front Circle recognizes those who have made gifts of $1,000 or more in the last fiscal year. Record levels of philanthropy to the priorities of MB Believes—including The Moses Brown Fund—are fueling a dynamic period of growth and innovation, extending and amplifying our 236-year traditions of ethical leadership and academic excellence.

The Obadiah Brown Society More than 200 years ago, Moses Brown’s son Obadiah (1771-1822) established a model of giving for all who care about MB.

Saying Goodbye to Dean Woodman ’46

who passed away on December 19, 2019.

The Moses Brown School community was saddened by the passing of Dean Woodman ’46 in California in December of 2019. Dean, the fourth of five generations to attend Moses Brown, was the great-grandson of former headmaster Augustine Jones 1854 and the largest donor to MB in history.

A self-described lifelong learner and voracious reader, Dean traced those traits to his days at MB. “Moses Brown instilled in me a commitment to the pursuit of excellence,” he said. “The Jones/Woodman clan has been a proud part of MB for five generations going back to the mid-1800s. Moses Brown was a fabulous educational and cultural springboard for me.

At MB I developed an even greater thirst for knowledge and for continuing education that has never left me, and for which I will be forever grateful.” Throughout the end of his life, Dean read five or six books simultaneously (mostly history, biography or Shakespeare-related), usually completing at least two volumes weekly.

Dean not only read at MB — he also played baseball, ran track, served on the Mosaic board and captained the cross-country team. But Dean said that MB’s most lasting impact on him was its focus on personal integrity and liberal arts.

“‘For the Honor of Truth’ and ‘The Pursuit of Excellence’ are tenets that I have carried with me throughout my life,” he once commented.

Moses Brown fostered in Dean a spirit of inquiry and an ability to apply factual knowledge to solve real-world problems creatively which he embraced his entire life. Dean graduated from Amherst in 1950, then served in the Naval Air Corps, and enjoyed a distinguished career as an investment banker. Known as “Woody” during his youth, “Deano” during his business career and “Woody” once again in retirement, Dean was one of the leading financial architects of numerous corporate financings, mergers and acquisitions. His career spanned over 60 years and he especially enjoyed providing advice to fledgling entrepreneurs. Perhaps his most meaningful investment, though, was in his son Nick’s fledgling startup, GoPro. In 2013, Dean and his wife Jane made the largest gift in Moses Brown’s 235-year history to create the Woodman Family Community & Performance Center and support the total renovation of the Walter Jones Library— originally a gymnasium built circa 1900 by Dean’s great-grandfather, Augustine Jones, then head of school. The Woodmans made the

gift in celebration of his Quaker family’s five-generation connection to MB and because of his belief in liberal arts education. The Woodman Center opened in 2016.

“When I first heard from Dean about his intentions to help with the community and performing space, I was so moved that somebody felt that strongly about Moses Brown,” said Head of School Matt Glendinning. “By renewing the legacy of his great-grandfather, Dean created for us a community-wide space to learn, work, play, perform, worship and celebrate. Dean was an incredible person, generous, kind, a philanthropist and a humanist. What he did for Moses Brown will impact generations of kids.”

After all that Dean did for MB while he was alive, his generosity continued after his passing as MB received proceeds from a charitable unitrust established long ago. We are honored to celebrate this dedicated alumnus whose family history connects our past to the present and who has made such lasting contributions to the daily life and experiences of students at Moses Brown. Dean Woodman ’46 leaves behind a legacy of joyous learning and exploration for generations to come.

Dean’s legacy of generosity continued after his passing, as MB received proceeds from a charitable remainder unitrust.

A charitable remainder unitrust is an estate planning tool that generates a potential income stream for you, as the donor to the trust, or other beneficiaries, with the remainder of the trust going to a chosen charity, like Moses Brown. This planned giving strategy can enable you to pursue your philanthropic goals while also helping with retirement planning and tax management.

Enrollment and Scholarship Overview While MB’s size and quality of the applicant pool have remained fairly stable, scholarship demand has increased dramatically— providing the single greatest challenge to MB’s sustained excellence. Prior to the financial crisis of 2007-08, about 40% of applicants requested financial assistance. Today, more than 70% of applicants apply for scholarship support with a vast majority of those families qualifying. With 87% of all operating revenue derived from tuition, these realities create a complex set of financial management pressures.

The Administration and Board of Trustees have met this challenge with a multi-faceted approach, including cost containment measures, record fundraising for endowed scholarship and annual giving, seeking new sources of revenue, and a new, more sophisticated financial aid strategy. The result has been a dramatic increase in scholarship funding, near record enrollment, the most socio-economically and racially/ethnically diverse student body in school history, and increased net operating revenue.

endowment funds Moses Brown’s fiscal engine is powered by income received through tuition, charitable donations, and annual distributions from our endowment. Endowed funds, like 401k or 529 accounts, are saved and invested today for a specific purpose tomorrow. Annual income distributions from endowment flow to the operating budget to help provide the best possible educational experience—supporting great teaching, academic and co-curricular programs, and scholarship.

MB Believes has transformed the school’s long-term financial sustainability. At the start of the campaign in June 2013, MB had an endowment of just $22.13 million (amassed over nearly 230 years).

With the success of MB Believes, the endowment has more than doubled in just the past seven years to a market value of $50.28 million as of Dec. 31, 2020.

This historic growth has gone a long way toward building a financial resource base that enables MB to continue to attract the best teachers and students, and provide them with truly world-class facilities and programs. As we celebrate our recent progress and the generosity of those listed on these pages, the chart below also reminds us that we must remain committed to the work of growing MB’s endowment to sustain our position among top peer schools regionally and nationally.
