PHILANTHROPY IN ACTION
SAN FRANCISCO FRIENDS SCHOOL
Annual Report 2021–2022
Annual Report 2021–2022
Over the summer, I had the profound privilege of meeting with a range of community members, many of whom were instrumental in envisioning and building San Francisco Friends School. I had the opportunity to hear our origin story in many forms, through a range of lenses. It gave me such a sense of awe for our story here at SFFS, for our sense of fellowship and collective effort in building this wonderful school; I knew I was in a community fortified by its mission and commitment to one another.
As I write this message to you today, the tenacity of San Francisco Friends School comes into focus yet again. The 2021–2022 school year was one in which this community faced an enormous amount of change: ongoing pandemic challenges, impending leadership shifts, and continued societal stresses and anxieties. Nevertheless, I’m so happy to say that this community showed up with strength and dedication, giving just above $1,129,779 to the 2021–2022 Annual Fund and enabling our school to invest in our students and faculty as we continue to build up our integrated curriculum; bring back our beloved overnight trips; and spearhead the formation of a new office for Institutional Equity and Belonging, which will buoy our efforts to further build and connect structures and practices that support deeper community engagement, equitable representation, and robust participation in our community.
Thank you for believing in the vision of SFFS and supporting our unique educational program, where we work with conviction to live our School’s mission of teaching students to listen to all voices, while also trusting their own, in the pursuit of creating a more caring and just society. We look forward to celebrating SFFS’s 20th anniversary by coming together in celebration in May to revisit our beautiful history, marvel at how far we’ve come, and rededicate ourselves to the program and community that continue to make us uniquely SFFS.
With gratitude,
Pankti SevakDear Friends,
What a joy it has been to be together in person again this year. Seeing the faces of children and adults, kindergarteners and 8th-graders, families, teachers, coaches, administrators, and all of the members of our community on campus brings warmth to the soul. From Back-to-School Night, to Community Meeting for Worship, to afternoon games in the gym, the events and activities that allow us to gather in this place we all share bring energy that is both palpable and nourishing.
As we reflect on the 2021–2022 academic year, we are grateful for so much. Our students were able to learn and play together again—not just in their classrooms, but also at the school play, the kindergarten bake sale, sports games and matches, and the Year End Celebration at Hellman Hollow. The adults who make the school hum (teachers, parents, administrators, and staff) were able to gather in celebration at an unforgettable outdoor Blue Party after a long hiatus. And we saw another record-breaking year for our Annual Fund, raising nearly $1,130,000, and our 48 Hours for Friends giving days
raised over $250,000 for our Adjustable Tuition program. We saw a healthy return on our Friends Forward Endowment—our unrestricted endowment dedicated to strengthening our school’s efforts to recruit and retain the best faculty possible—and this year is the first year that we were able to draw from it. We also celebrated the deep contributions of our beloved departing administrators, including former Head of School Mike Hanas, Jennifer Arnest, and Clarke Weatherspoon. And thanks to the work of our fantastic Head of School Search Committee, clerked by Shabnam Koirala-Azad and Edward Chung, we officially welcomed our dynamic new Head of School, Pankti Sevak, to our community. As we have all seen, Pankti has hit the ground sprinting at 250 Valencia—we feel lucky to have her vision, commitment, and spark at the helm of this institution.
We also celebrated the contributions of so many volunteers, the stewards who, through their dedication, keep us tracking towards our school’s north star: the intersection of our Quaker values and ongoing commitment to deeply engaged student learning. People like our 2021–2022 Board of Trustees coclerks Maureen McAvoy and Kelly McKane, PA co-clerks Mina Muraki and Shawn Wrobel, K-8th grade room parents, Circle of Friends volunteers, and so many more held the fabric of this community together during some of the toughest years we have had to manage through. You all have strengthened our foundation. Thank you.
We are ending our 20th year having grown from an inspired start-up Quaker school in the Castro into an established learning community with a rich history. We are strong, connected, and buzzing with the potential for how our lights can shine into the next chapter of San Francisco Friends School. There is much on the horizon for our school, and we are so grateful for all we have built together. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to San Francisco Friends School and for the many ways you continue to support the school and its mission.
Rebecca Foster & Ernie Hsin Co-Clerks of the Board of TrusteesSan Francisco Friends School has long focused on community and connection. With COVID restrictions lifting, SFFS students, faculty, and staff have eagerly renewed established partnerships with numerous community organizations, while also forging new ones. Read on for some examples of how we are partnering with our Mission District and San Francisco neighbors.
This relatively new community group is focused on keeping SF streets clean, with regular neighborhood trash pick-ups taking place from The Marina to The Haight. The faculty and staff of SFFS kicked off their opening meetings in August with a group clean-up of the blocks surrounding our Valencia Street campus, and Middle School advisory groups and buddy groups (including the 3rd and 7th Grade Buddies seen in the photo above) continue to head out in the community regularly with their trusty trash-pickers and bright orange trash bags. Additionally, Director of Community Engagement Guybe Slangen and Director of Collaborative Curriculum Jennifer Stuart are working with Refuse Refuse founder Vince Yuen to create a unit that can be used by schools around the city focused on waste removal, local government, and civic engagement.
This local nonprofit collective helps adults with developmental disabilities to pursue successful and fulfilling careers as artists. The Creativity Explored studio now represents 130 artists, who have seen their work sold and exhibited widely in museums, galleries, and art fairs. Our 7th and 8th Grade students visited the art center this fall, and have welcomed Creativity Explored artists to our campus, as well, where they created together in our studios and bonded over their shared love of art.
A longtime partner with our school, The Gubbio Project has reopened its doors to our unhoused neighbors in San Francisco, giving people a safe place to sleep, grab a meal, and recharge within a warm and caring environment. In support of this organization’s mission, our 8th-Graders, faculty, and staff have returned to its location at St. John the Evangelist Church throughout the fall to clean sleeping mats, wash dishes, and help Gubbio
Project employees and volunteers put together hygiene kits for clients with essential items like socks, soap, and deodorant. This is a treasured partnership that, like so many, we envision lasting for many years to come. •
Many thanks to our SFFS parents Maren Caruso P ‘20 & ‘25 and Rachel Levin
P ‘23 & ‘26, who have spent this fall documenting the community partnerships our school is building in San Francisco.
Each year, the Board of Trustees carefully balances the fiscal and programmatic needs of the school, while attending to the vitality of our Quaker values, our staff, and our school community. Our operating budget reflects our school’s priorities and culture, and we are proud to lead the way among Bay Area schools in our Adjustable Tuition and Friends Community Scholars programs.
As an independent school we depend on the tuition and the philanthropic support of our community to sustain our programs and strategic priorities. We are grateful for the generosity of our community, and for the careful stewardship of our budget, to allow us to remain in a strong financial position.
* Please note that the Revenue chart below does not reflect restricted funds raised for the Friends Forward endowment campaign or non-operating revenue PPP loan forgiveness.
The San Francisco Friends School community came together in remarkable ways throughout last school year. Though restrictions around gathering in-person continued, we were thrilled to be able to gather together in-person for a newly imagined Blue Party and our beloved Year End Celebration in Golden Gate Park.
For the second year, we celebrated record-breaking fundraising for the Friends Annual Fund, the school’s largest source of non-tuition income. The Annual Fund ensures that Friends continues to support a breadth of programs beyond what tuition alone can provide. Thanks to the generous support of our community, last year, gifts to the Annual Fund totaled $1,129,779. We also raised an additional $254,719 for Adjustable Tuition through 48 Hours for Friends, our two-day giving event.
Every gift to SFFS is an opportunity to grow and shape the lives of our students. We are tremendously grateful for the gifts from parents, faculty, staff, trustees, alumni, grandparents, and friends that strengthen every aspect of our school and nourish our bright future.
The honor roll is an expression of gratitude for the generosity of the Friends community. This list reflects gifts to the Annual Fund from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022.
