Dear Rosarian Academy Community: Thank you for your “ALL IN” investment in Rosarian Academy! Through your support and gifts to our school in 2019-2020, you provided the Rosarian experience that benefits every student and enhances the quality of a Rosarian education for years to come. This annual giving report is a declaration of the generosity of you, the Rosarian community. We are a strong, family-centered community of faculty, teachers, administrators, parents, students, alumni, and friends joined in creating an exceptional environment that excels in knowledge, faith, arts, athletics and active service. Our Catholic identity and mission are at the forefront of everything done in and out of the classroom each and every day. With the guidance of the Adrian Dominican Sisters and the Board of Directors and your financial support, we are in perpetual forward motion to deliver the best foundation for life. Reflecting on the 2019-2020 academic year, Rosarian experienced growth and overcame adversity in many areas: We started the school year by living out the Gospel values and responding to the humanitarian crisis facing the Bahamas in the wake of Hurricane Dorian. We opened seats to eight hurricanedisplaced children who no longer had a school to attend. These students and their parents instantaneously became accepted and loved members of our Rosarian family. To ensure Rosarian has the strongest academic offerings, we are constantly reviewing our curriculum and how we are preparing our students to seamlessly move into high school--well-rounded and fully prepared. Our teachers and administration assessed our curriculum through backwards mapping--a framework that provides teachers and students with a logical path that ensures students are properly prepared with the skills needed for success at each subsequent grade level. This culture of collaboration provides a foundation for improvement in subject areas while supporting different learning styles throughout the school. As we continue to expand the STEM program and add materials to the Freitas STEM Innovation Center, we also added coding classes. The Lower School students learn the basics of coding while our Middle School students use Python, a program that allows students to create and write code using the Carnegie Mellon University coding curriculum which is made available to us as a Carnegie STEM Excellence Pathway Partner. Mrs. Linda Trethewey Head of School The addition of a full-time school nurse enables Rosarian to provide services that increase the general health of our student body, including the administration of health classes. Beyond academics, we continued to provide opportunities for our students to expand talents and interests. Close to 100% of our Middle School students participated in our athletics and fine arts programs. Student-athletes are prepared to play to the best of their abilities and are encouraged to be gracious competitors. The Fine Arts program gives students an appreciation of creative expression in performance. The reconfiguration of Rosarian’s outdoor playing field and space was completed in March. More than $500,000 was raised to update the Early Childhood and Kindergarten play areas, install a new Lower School play structure, and resurface the Jake Rubin Field. The renewed and reconfigured outdoor space includes an astroturf practice field (the Smith Moore Field), two basketball courts, and two sports courts. We unexpectedly and unprecedentedly finished the school year with teaching and learning from home for the entire third trimester due to the global pandemic of COVID-19. We quickly mastered the world of online teaching and did everything in our power to ensure that students continued to learn and feel a member of our community. Despite the cancellation of the Auction & Ball, sports seasons, annual field trips, the spring musical, and the traditional Graduation and Baccalaureate Mass, we transitioned as much as we could to virtual platforms. We continued to honor our students and their Rosarian experiences. Throughout our campus shut-down in the spring, our financial commitments to operating our school and paying our teachers and staff remained the same. Rosarian Academy fosters a culture of shared responsibility and financial viability. Fundraising covers the additional expenses necessary to operate our school, above and beyond the revenue brought in through tuition and alternate sources, such as aftercare, after school programs, facility rentals, summer programs, and the Rosarian Academy Charitable Trust. Your support closes the gap between tuition revenue and the actual cost of educating students at Rosarian. Your financial support allows us to constantly improve our facilities and technology; retain highly trained and qualified faculty and staff; maintain small class sizes; offer an advanced, progressive, and accelerated academic program; provide outstanding athletics and arts; increase co-curricular and extracurricular activities. Each gift received is a testament to the value of a Rosarian education. Each gift received allows us to continue to be a leader in Catholic and independent school education. It is with utmost appreciation that we thank you, once again, for supporting Rosarian Academy and investing in the “ALL IN” Rosarian experience. With gratitude and blessings,
Linda M. Trethewey Head of School

GOING FOR THE GOLD ROSARIAN ACADEMY AUCTION & BALL XLI
Thank you to all who supported our 2020 Auction & Ball: Going for the Gold. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we had to cancel this great fundraising event which is always a highlight of the school year. We were looking forward to celebrating with our community and honoring Auction Chair Colleen Orrico, her committee who worked so hard on this event, our Honorary Chairs (The Flamingos), and our generous underwriters and sponsors. Thankfully, we were able to execute the Silent Auction. We want to express our appreciation to all those who purchased tickets and sponsorships and made your purchase a charitable donation to Rosarian Academy, despite the event not taking place. The funds raised went to ensuring the continuation of a strong academic program with unparalleled faculty and staff.
Phase II of the Outdoor Renovation Initiative included the resurfacing of the Jake Rubin Field. The renewed and reconfigured outdoor space includes the Smith Moore astroturf practice field and two outdoor basketball and two sports courts. The official ribbon cutting ceremony took place before Middle School Field Day on March 13, 2020. Every day for years to come, students at Rosarian Academy will benefit from these generous gifts. Play is essential to children’s cognitive, physical, social and emotional well-being which furthers our mission of developing the whole person and providing a
foundation for life.

World of Change
In response to the humanitarian crisis facing the Bahamas in the wake of Hurricane Dorian and aligned with Rosarian Academy’s mission and beliefs to live out the Gospel values, the school opened seats to eight hurricane-displaced children who no longer had a school to attend. Rosarian’s goodwill in the wake of Dorian sparked a “world of change.” Matt Hoidal, Founder & Chief Change Maker of World of Change—a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization in Portland, ME—caught wind of the school’s relief efforts and asked Rosarian to be World of Change’s first partner in the state of Florida to continue to “change” the lives of those affected by Hurricane Dorian. World of Change uses a series of ongoing matching challenges and grassroots fundraising efforts to mobilize and leverage the collective capacity of collecting change. Mr. Hoidal identified another charity, Hands on Tzedakah, to match up to $10,000 of change collected by the Rosarian families.

Acosta, M.D., P.A., and Bath Fitter. A total of 50,463 coins were sorted, rolled and counted by students. 100% of this change collected was doubled through the generosity of Hands on Tzedakah--bringing the total amount to $17,003.62. More than $80,000 was generously donated to this fund.
