Strategic Plan Update

2007- 2008 Annual Report

From Dr. Brett Jacobsen, Head of School

The Report

[ Excerpt from 2008 Convocation Ceremony]

The 2008-2009 school year at Second Baptist School is about a call to

give back. In Luke 12:48, Christ sets an expectation, “To whom much is given, much will be required.” It is easy to recognize the provision of God’s grace and goodness on Second Baptist School. You have the best faculty, facilities, academic resources, as well as a safe place to learn, to grow spiritually, and to have fun. Yet, there are many students around the world having a very different experience on their first day of school. Globally, highlighted during the Olympics, over 7,000 schools were destroyed during the recent earthquake that hit the Sichaun Province of China. Nationally, according to the National Center of Family Homelessness, on any given day 800,000 people are homeless in the United States, including 200,000 children in homeless families. Locally, the Children’s Cancer Hospital at MD Anderson in the city of Houston, is one of the largest multidisciplinary cancer care programs in the nation caring for approximately 1,700 children a year. To whom much is given, much is required. You are representatives of the School and as representatives, a call to give back requires you to reach beyond the walls of our campus. Give back to people found in other parts of the globe. Give back to those under pressure right here in the United States. Give back to your city. Giving back is not an option. In an excerpt from a touching letter to his son, a father writes: Along the way you’ll hit some hurdles and experience some setbacks. I will always be there for you. But remember, while you are always, always loved you are never, never entitled. The world does not owe you a favor. You do, however, owe this world something. The best exercise of the human heart is reaching down and picking someone else up. To our students: “To whom much is given, much will be required.” But more importantly, to our faculty and parents: “Even more will be demanded from the one to whom much has been entrusted.” May we remain committed in the 2008-2009 school year to our purpose: the training of students to understand clearly, to think deeply, to judge wisely and to have the courage to live their lives on the great principles and convictions of biblical truth. Represented at Second Baptist School, is the best that this country has to offer – a school of leaders. Live your life as a tribute to how great God is by giving back as much as you have been given.

School? If you step into the Lower School, you will see a student praying for his classmates. In the Middle School, it would not be unusual to see an eighth grade student offering encouragement to a seventh grader as they pass in the hall. When you walk through the Upper School, you will find a senior writing a handwritten note to their prayer partner at Yellowstone Academy.

hese portraits of leadership represent the manifestations of leadership, which create a ripple effect across the campus as students stand up for their beliefs, values, and ideas. While some acts of leadership seem obvious, such as the student body president delivering a speech or the lead singing a solo in the musical, many acts of leadership often play out in unexpected ways that may go unnoticed but are essential to creating a cohesive community. Leadership is not just a quality used by the student stepping on a stage and commanding the attention of the audience. SBS fosters a far more effective brand of leadership that permeates every dimension of the School and transforms the community. For over 60 years, SBS has provided a world-class education for the leaders of tomorrow.

A Profile in Leadership

Carter ’08, lifer at SBS, is armed with the character, confidence and capability needed to succeed in the flattened world he confronts in the 21st century as well as the rigorous environment ahead of him at Yale. “A leader is someone who inspires others to do great things. He is willing to serve and help others achieve their goals. He does not aspire to rule others, but through his actions, becomes a leader.”

A Profile in Leadership

“Giving back as much as one has been given” is a lifestyle that embodies Annie at SBS. Whether it is lending a hand at Angels of Light, assisting at Salvation Army, attending chapel, or helping classmates, she seeks every opportunity to serve. Annie and her SBS classmates commit over 10,000 hours of community service to the city of Houston and beyond. “Being a leader means to be responsible and lead people to good things and to be an encourager, not a dictator. A true leader has people who want to follow them.”

The following pages chronicle exceptional stories on leadership among the SBS community.

Mark 10:43 “Whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant.” Putting others first and empowering people to rise up and lead are arguably the most important contributions of a SBS leader. While the world says “win for yourself,” the SBS leader says “win for others.” In the halls and under the archways of SBS, leadership is very much a vital, active characteristic that infuses the educational experience.

In an I-centered world, leadership is often viewed as a high position of power or influence gained through hard work, diligence, and charisma. While leadership involves these characteristics, the core of leadership involves a heart for service. Leadership without service is void. SBS offers a refreshingly authentic portrait of leadership.

SBS has joined this movement to give students the added benefit of formalizing their leadership skills. Leadership Second is a strategic initiative based on the vision of sending servant-minded leaders from Second Baptist School into a globally-minded world of the 21st century. Leadership Second will infiltrate several components of the Upper School. The Speaker Series will give students the opportunity to hear from proven leaders representing a widerange of sectors.

The Senior Capstone Project will enable seniors to spend a school day at the end of the academic year completing a substantial project to benefit Houston residents with special needs. The Middle School will devote their time to a service day in the Spring. Students in the Lower School will complete holiday service projects throughout the year. Students from individual classes will also roll up their sleeves and help local charities. The core qualities of leadership as articulated by author Robert Greenleaf in his essay “The Servant as Leader” will be emphasized through every component of the Leadership Second program. From the Speaker Series to service projects, students will grow to intimately understand and utilize these core qualities. The core qualities are listening, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, commitment to the growth of people, and building community.

ate and Staleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for continuing to support these children has spread across the SBS campus and inspired other students to become servant leaders. Their journey to Uganda started in the Spring of 2008 when Kate and Staley learned about the opportunity to attend a mission trip with a local church. For Kate, going to Africa on a mission trip has been her dream since she was 13

to travel a little farther this time and see God work in other parts of the world. Both students were blessed to have their fathers attend the mission trip with them. Chuck Zimmerman, Kate’s dad, headed up a fun-filled game day with the children at the orphanage. Jim Tomforde, Staley’s dad, preached a sermon in a local church. During the mission trip, Kate and Staley spent the majority of their time at Lulwanda Children’s home, an orphanage housing 90 children who have been sent to this home by the government on behalf of unbearable conditions, either due to a parent’s death or abandonment. The primary objective was to teach hygiene skills to these children by giving each child a backpack filled with soap, a toothbrush, toothpaste, and shoes. According to Kate, “these children were absolutely ecstatic when they received these items, and many had never owned a toothbrush before.” While teaching these basic yet essential skills, they were also able to share the message of Christ providing a clean heart through salvation. Several listeners were receptive to this illustration, and all children listening to the message stood to indicate their desire to accept Christ. While the practical goal behind the trip was to teach hygiene to the children and mothers, the most important passion behind the trip was loving the children. Indeed, Kate and Staley extended their hearts to these children and created strong bonds that will last a lifetime. In particular, Kate

was touched by eight-year-old Aidah who quietly followed her around the orphanage. One day, Aidah delivered a letter to Kate through a friend because she was bashful about handing it to her in person. When Kate opened it, she saw that Aidah had drawn a picture of the two of them and written on the back, “I pray for you every day” followed by a verse of scripture found in Matthew 5:12, “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.”Touched by this expression of love, Kate responded,“I thought this child has faith bigger than I will ever have. She has experienced devastation and loss more than I can know, yet she prays for me? Amazing.” According to Kate, “these children were experts at relationships. The orphanage was overflowing with joy and God’s love.” Staley also bonded with the children at the orphanage.“Now, I have never enjoyed the company of children that much, but after this trip, I definitely did not feel the same way. The children were so loving and grateful for someone to play with them and always remained content with what they were doing,” she explains. In particular, two children stood out during her experience. Flavia, a little girl at the orphanage, would seek out Staley and often wound up in her arms to take a nap when she became tired. Staley loved giving her a safe place to rest. The other child, Charles, won over Staley’s heart. “He had an infectious smile and laugh that filled the heart of those around him,” she explains. Most of all, Staley was amazed by how God’s love

First Impressions of Uganda by Kate Zimmerman

“While nervously clutching onto the bottom of the seat, I forced myself to trust a seemingly unreliable van on this road, riddled with ruts and holes. I prayed for dear life while absorbing the sights, trying not to blink. It seemed as though life pressed against the roadside. Women and children carried baskets of fruit on their heads to my left, and men herded cattle to the overcrowded market just ahead. Yet through the overwhelming congestion, I could feel a sense of unity permeating through the community. It was as a photographed scene printed in a National Geographic magazine. However, this scene held some of the most remarkable young faces that became my greatest inspirations.”

eadership and learning go hand in hand at SBS. As

faculty members rise up to leadership positions in their respective fields and learn in new ways, students are motivated to become lifelong learners. We are blessed at SBS by a winning team of gifted teachers who work tirelessly to provide the best educational opportunities for preparing students to take leadership roles in many sectors. In order to attract and retain quality teachers, SBS must invest in the faculty by offering competitive salaries, providing support for teaching initiatives, and encouraging superb professional development opportunities. Your valuable contribution to the School makes these priorities possible.

Fall 2008

Most recently, the administration has launched three major initiatives for faculty professional development.

The Rudd Fellowship The Rudd Fellowship has been established to provide creative and innovative professional development opportunities for Second Baptist School faculty members in order to enhance the learning experience for students in the classroom. Interested teachers will submit a proposal that specifies the details of the professional development opportunity and explains how the knowledge gained from this experience will be applied to students in the classroom. All Rudd Fellows will be honored at a Rudd Fellowship event in February, 2009.

Billie Rudd stirred the hearts of all who knew her, a master teacher, full of energy and enthusiasm, a figure in motion, never changing, yet ever changing. Her life existed to serve God. Her priorities were always in order – Christ, family, students and friends, career. She always wore her teacher’s hat and never missed a teachable moment, a moment that might be teaching history, yet more likely a moment teaching “life.”

Billie taught at Second Baptist School for thirteen years – 1961-1974. She dedicated herself to her students and longed for them to succeed. She recognized that history was a subject that might soon be forgotten, but that her Godly principles imparted to her students would last a lifetime. Billie inspired both her students and her colleagues. Her “classroom on wheels”was a favorite of not only her students but also their parents. She made the past come alive, unwilling to lose any opportunity to teach as she made even long bus rides interesting. She was the master of any situation. Listening to Billie Rudd was better than reading a good book.

The Report

Billie’s gifts were widely recognized. In 1970, she was honored by the National Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge. Based on her career as a teacher, the first award was “The National Teachers’ Award.” The second award,“The George Washington Medal,” was given for her presentation of the television program on July 4, 1970, on the Jo Ann King show on KHOU TV, entitled, “My Country’s History.” The jury bestowing these honors was comprised of State Supreme Court Justices and representatives from the American Bar Association from all sections of the country. Her passion for history and for America absolutely bubbled over in everything she did and said. She took patriotism to a new level in the eyes of many.

Second Baptist School Curriculum Development Grants The Office of Academic Affairs will award several Curriculum Development Grants to faculty who are developing new course materials, modifying existing curriculum or integrating 21st Century skills into current learning objectives. The goal of the program is to support the development of curriculum that engages students through researchbased instructional strategies and best practices. Group and joint faculty proposals as well as those from individuals are encouraged. Funds are made available to faculty during the summer, for work on a course or unit that will be taught in the following academic year. All Second Baptist School faculty are eligible for the program and inter-disciplinary collaboration is encouraged.

A Member of Powerful Learning Practice SBS is one of only 20 schools participating in this unique, forward-thinking organization. Connective Learning, LLC and 21st Century Collaborative have teamed to create a comprehensive, systemic one-year professional development program that engages educators from participating schools in transformational conversations about 21st Century Learning. Modeled on a highly successful, Microsoft grantfunded pilot carried out in Alabama over the last three years, “Powerful Learning Practice for Teacher and Students” (PLP) uses a blend of face to face and online curriculum to connect small teams from forward thinking schools or professional organizations to establish a powerful, ongoing learning community. In September, Director of Academic Affairs, Brad Brown, and four faculty members traveled to Atlanta to attend the National Learning Practices Conference. The faculty in attendance included Phil Sinitiere, Upper School Social Science; Tammy Holder, Upper School English/Humanities; Kandis Greco, Middle School Life Science; and Marci Renken, Lower School 4th Grade. At the conference, they were introduced to the challenges and opportunities of using connective technologies like weblogs, wikis and others. Additionally, they were immersed in the uses of the social tools in their own learning and teaching practice. Following the conference, this team will attend four live online workshops and also take part in activities in the virtual learning community (VLC), where participants can access resources and participate in message-board discussions at times convenient to them. The team will collaborate throughout the year on developing web-based projects to improve student achievement.

iLearn from Exeter T

his past summer, three adventurous SBS teachers traveled to New England to learn about a transformative teaching practice referred to as the Harkness Table. Dr. Jacobsen first brought this teaching concept to the attention of faculty members, and his description of the method inspired sixth grade English teacher Susan Williams, seventh grade life science teacher Kandis Greco, and AP U.S. and European history teacher Clare Towery to sojourn to Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire where the Harkness Table was developed. The Harkness Table refers to a method of teaching that involves 12 students sitting around an oval table with their teacher. The other students sit outside the circle and write observations on each participant. The method derives its name from philanthropist Edward Harkness who presented Phillips Exeter with a monetary gift in 1930 to purchase round tables for practicing this method of teaching. The purpose of the round-table discussion is to engage students in the learning process and put them in the driver’s seat. Used nationwide in many boarding schools and prestigious prep schools, SBS has adopted this method as a teaching tool for engaging the minds of students in all disciplines. During the conference, at Exeter, the teachers maintained a rigorous scholar’s schedule. After attending classes in the morning where the Harkness Table was modeled, they took a short lunch break before attending afternoon classes in more specific subject areas. When the afternoon classes adjourned, their day had not ended. Each night, they poured over assigned readings and completed homework for at least two hours. In essence, these SBS teachers stepped into the shoes of students, but not just the average students.

The Report

Susan Williams Sixth Grade English For Susan Williams, the prospect of attending this elite conference conjured up intimidation and fear. When she received the long reading list that came without specific instructions or direction, her mind raced with questions. At that point, she truly felt that she was going to the conference as a student rather than as a teacher. Indeed, her assumption proved correct: “We were students the entire week. I’ve never worked so hard in my life as I did this week. Everything we learned was through discovery.”This conference turned out to be one of the most valuable learning experiences in her long career as an educator. “I’ve attended lots of seminars and returned to school tired from them. However, this conference was completely different. It was an unbelievable experience and a time of revitalization. I realized that even though I have years of experience as a teacher, I still have so much to learn,” she remarks. According to Mrs. Williams, the Harkness Table instills three invaluable skills in students: “they learn to work hard, think deeply, and listen well.” Perhaps the most insightful moment came when Mrs. Williams was participating in a Harkness Table discussion about a piece of literature. She posed the question,“do you think this character is considered a hero?”Her question sparked an insightful discussion by several members of the round table, and she listened attentively to their clever remarks. Then, a group member turned to her and said, “Susan, do you think he is a hero in the story?” Mrs. Williams was deeply touched that a participant cared enough to know her opinion: “It was such an empowering

moment for me that someone wanted to know what I thought about the character. I wanted my students to feel this same empowerment in my classroom.”

A Profile in Leadership

As a science teacher, Kandis answers the call, “Do those served grow as persons?” everyday as she encourages, challenges, and inspires her students. Her teaching style reflects customized learning experiences for her students. As a result, technology is a key ingredient to her classes. Many days, students can be seen utilizing a smartboard, researching the latest scientific information, or conducts hands-on labs with the latest technology. She enjoys spending time with students especially on the 8th grade trip to Washington, D.C.

Table discussions foster a myriad of qualities in students. They learn the art of argumentation, problem solving abilities, and rhetorical skills.”What is perhaps most exciting to her is that the Harkness Table encourages discussion not only in the classroom but also beyond the learning environment. “At the table, everyone has a voice, and the discussions don’t end there. Many times, they continue in the hallway,” she remarks. Through conferences, Mrs. Greco has captured the vision for learning and teaching in the 21st century. “As a teacher, I am realizing the shift in the methods we use to learn in today’s world. Students now have the opportunity to use technology to connect with people all over the world. I am motivated as a teacher to step outside my box of teaching methods and find the right balance in my classroom. How can I challenge my students to learn if I am not challenging myself?”

The Report

Clare Towery AP U.S. and European History Teacher During the 2007-08 school year, Clare Towery learned about the Harkness Table.“When I first heard about it, I researched it, and my first impression was that it just involved a bunch of students sitting around in a circle, discussing a topic. While I tried to be openminded, I had some preconceived notions about it,” she comments. After completing the week long boot camp course at Exeter, Mrs. Towery walked away with a very favorable impression of the method. “Attending this conference was the single greatest educational opportunity during my teaching career. It provided enlightenment on how to push students further as critical thinkers.” Overall, Mrs. Towery sees the value in what students take away from the discussion. “First, it gives them leadership discussion skills and secondly, it instills responsibility to carry a conversation,”she says.

iLearn from Mentoring Already in the first nine weeks of the school year, Mrs. Towery has used the Harkness method on several occasions and has enjoyed the experiences immensely. The first discussion centered on the topic of globalization. The students read articles on this topic, including an excerpt from The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman. The purpose of discussing this topic early in the school year was to set the tone for what European history covers. The night before the discussion, students read, highlighted, and composed discussion questions. When they came into class the next day, they sat in a circle formation and began tackling the discussion questions. Having established general guidelines for the format, Mrs. Towery was impressed to watch the discussion in action and see students making a conscious effort to bring the discussion back on topic. “I was delighted to watch the kids set the rules on their own initiative. In a group setting, they soon recognized the importance of being respectful, attentive, and considerate without the need for me to remind them. The point of the Harkness Table is to give students responsibility,” Mrs. Towery remarks. Most importantly, the Harkness style of learning requires students to come to class prepared. Critics of the style often ask the question, what if students fail to do the work? Those who have been trained by Exeter professionals realize that preparation comes naturally from the students as they participate in the discussion. If they haven’t read closely the night before, the lack of preparation is obvious. Mrs. Towery observes, that “students hold each other to a high standard and become frustrated with each other if they don’t know their stuff. Students would rather come prepared than risk humiliation in front of their peers.” Thus, a little bit of peer pressure ensures that students will make the extra effort to come prepared. Also, students find it especially useful to have passages underlined, so they can support their arguments during the discussion. Otherwise, they have no ground to stand upon when arguing their case.

his past summer, AP calculus teacher Gladys Wood was accepted as one of 50 candidates to serve as mentor in her roll as National Consultant Leader for College Board. After completing extensive training in Las Vegas in August, Mrs. Wood walked away as a certified mentor, a role of high prestige within the College Board. Just two years ago, she was one of 100 consultants to become a National Consultant. In this capacity, she would conference with other AP consultants across the U.S. The College Board decided to offer a more specialized mentorship program in order to enhance the depth of the AP Consultant experience and set a high standard of quality. Mrs. Wood now mentors two mentees, one in Colorado and one in Virginia. The relationship between a mentor and mentee transcends the traditional hierarchal relationship between boss and employee. Instead, the idea of a mentor is to play the role of a person there for a listening ear, encouragement, and solicited feedback. According to Mrs. Wood, “I am someone they can bounce ideas off of. Throughout the year, we will have phone conversations about their goals, and I’ll attend their conferences. Then, we will conduct a debriefing through cognitive coaching. I will ask questions and listen carefully to their responses. I’m a colleague here for extra support.” The training in Las Vegas was enlightening for Mrs. Wood. The mentors were trained by a corporate coach who goes into businesses to enhance team work. The training was related to what is happening in the business world but was easily transferable to the educational sector. The most important skill stressed during this conference was listening. The coach emphasized that listening involves more than just passively hearing what the person in front of you says. Instead, active listening requires the listener to reflect back on what the speaker has said. For example, the listener should rephrase what he or she heard to ensure that the message was correctly communicated and received. Sometimes, the message sent is not the message received; thus, reflection is a fundamental skill to good listening. As a mentor,“you are trying to draw goals and ideas from the other person. It is about putting you out of the framework of discussion in order to laser in

on what that person wants to achieve,” explains Mrs. Wood. She also learned the importance of modeling the speaker’s body language. If the speaker uses his hands to communicate, the listener should also use hand language when reflecting back on what was said. These are just a few of the many tips learned during this dynamic conference. One of the most valuable lessons garnered at the conference involves the idea that both the mentor and the mentee are learning simultaneously. Mrs. Wood is experiencing this firsthand. This fall, she is attending one of her mentee’s presentations, the same one which she will present at the AP National Forum. By watching this presentation, Mrs. Wood is confident that she will pick up valuable ideas for her own presentation. Through her role as mentor, Mrs. Wood recognizes the importance of establishing her own goals as a teacher. Specifically, she is focused on technological

A Profile in Leadership

Master teacher. AP calculus extraordinaire. Nationally-recognized speaker. As a highly qualified Christian educator in the Upper School, Gladys cannot be summarized by a headline. She has a passion for calculus, but more importantly, she has a passion for her students and preparing them for the life beyond the School. Students indicate that her class is a right of passage for students graduating from SBS.

advancements, which she is implementing in the classroom. For example, she is using a Smart View program to project a calculator on a screen and is experimenting with SmartBoard. “All technological tools work together to help students learn math problems,” she says. In her 38th year of teaching, Mrs. Wood still brings a freshness and originality to her teaching style that is contagious. Her dedication in the classroom and commitment to professional advancement are admirable. Her involvement with College Board directly affects what she does in the classroom. For example, the materials she creates for AP presentations are used for her students. According to Mrs. Wood, “my involvement with College Board has kept me interested in education. I’m not stagnant. My course demands that I’m constantly learning.” Mrs. Wood’s commitment to professional development proves that a gifted teacher is always a student at heart.

strategic iPlan

During the Spring of 2006, the administrative team organized seven strategic planning committees. Collaboratively, the committees consisted of over 90 parents, faculty members, and administrators and they addressed seven key areas at SBS – Spiritual Life, Students, Faculty, Fine Arts, Athletics, Development and Technology. As the plan first appeared in the annual report, the passion and commitment for the future of the School remains the same. Each year the Strategic Plan is updated to reflect the progress the School is making towards fulfilling our goals.

Spiritual Life By combining our energies, ideas and resources, faculty and parents are creating a partnership of excellence – an excellence borne of the understanding that knowledge alone cannot sufficiently prepare youth for the challenges of the twenty-first century. Instead, we must offer them wisdom which comes only from God. If we demand value from education, we must insist upon Christian values in education. It is only then that excellence in education can be achieved.

Goal – Remain committed to the training of consecrated young people in areas of knowledge

that will allow them to understand clearly, think deeply, judge wisely, and have the courage to live their lives on the great principles and convictions of biblical truth.

• Annually, Second Baptist School supports the Angels of Light event on campus. At last year’s event, 503 wrapped toys and 1,155 cans of vegetables were collected to donate to Angels of Light. • As part of the weekly chapel, all SBS students participated in corporate worship. They also heard from keynote speakers centered around themes. The Lower School theme for chapel was “I Believe... Do You?”, Middle School was Psalms and Upper School focused on the Lord’s Prayer. • Faith took on a new meaning for sixth graders as they served at the Salvation Army during the Spring. They shared their testimonies, sang songs together and prepared and distributed care packages to the residents.

Students The educational environment for SBS students emphasizes critical thinking, ingenuity, and effective communication skills. Each student is directed toward life-long learning by an involved and enthusiastic faculty. Students are enriched and broadened by experiences outside the classroom. As a result, SBS graduates consistently attend the college of their choice across the nation. Over the years, SBS students have attended over 100 universities across the United States including University of Pennsylvania, Duke University, University of Virginia, Wheaton College, Harvard University, Stanford University, and leading Texas universities.

Goal – Identify, attract, and retain a diverse student body committed to spiritual service, academic excellence, and extracurricular participation.

• SBS is proud of three National Merit Scholars, eight National Merit Commended Scholars and four National Hispanic Recipients from the Class of 2008. • From Italy to Costa Rica, the East Coast College Tour to a World Hunger Relief Farm, Upper School students traveled extensively during Interim Term and enriched their education with hands-on learning opportunities. • Students serve their community in a variety of ways throughout the year by volunteering with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Ronald McDonald House and Star of Hope.

Faculty SBS is marked by an exemplary faculty who commit their time and energy fostering the talents of students and equipping them to reach their potential. SBS believes that a school rises and falls on the ability and effectiveness of its faculty. Supporting faculty in pursuit of professional development opportunities and degrees from higher education is a major priority. With this experience, they make a profound difference in the lives of SBS students.

Goal – Retain, recruit, train, and support a distinctive faculty with a variety of academic

specialties committed to Christian education.

The Report

2007-2008 Highlights

• The SBS faculty and staff have completed over 1,000 hours of professional development. This number attests to the commitment to bring the best education tools into the classroom. • Eight faculty and staff members are working towards earning their Master’s or Doctorate degrees. • SBS is a member of nine professional and educational organizations including the Southern Association of Independent Schools, Texas Association of Baptist Schools and National Association for College Admissions.

Fine Arts The Fine Arts Department is one of the most vital areas at SBS. Students are able to explore and express their talents and abilities in various and unconventional ways – paintbrush, voice, instrument, movement, action, and potter’s wheel. From art students winning state to phenomenal musical performances at the Hobby Center, SBS students flourish in the arts. Over the years, students have had the benefit of learning from an experienced faculty, identifying specific artistic strengths of students to produce first-class performances.

Goal – Continue to build a quality fine arts program that gives SBS students the ability to

{

explore, express, and elevate their talents in the visual and performing arts.

2007-2008 Highlights

• Seven Upper School students were selected to be in the TPSMEA All-State Choir and 11 students were selected for All-Region Choir. • The musical Good News sold out five performances at the Hobby Center. More than 70 Upper School students participated in the show, contributing to its overwhelming success. The Wizard of Oz, performed by over 75 Middle School students, sold more than 1,400 tickets and was the highlight of the Fall semester. • The Art Department has earned First Place at the TAPPS state art competition four times in the last decade. From the Rodeo Arts Contest to the Spring Art Show, SBS students have numerous opportunities for successful self-expression.

Athletics Athletics has been an essential aspect to the Second Baptist School experience. The SBS athletic program strives to instill in students the value of teamwork, sportsmanship, and discipline. Through competitive team sports, individual competition, and interscholastic athletics, the physical development of each student is maximized. Since 1997, Eagle teams have won 21 state championships in 8 different athletic events.

Goal – Continue to develop a comprehensive athletic

program for student athletes to gain the knowledge and skill-set to compete at a high level.

{

2007-2008 Highlights

}

• The Varsity volleyball team won the state title this year, making the number of SBS state championships 21. • Ten graduates from the Class of 2008 are playing collegiate or professional sports. • Excelling in 13 sports, the Athletic Program is proud of its continued support from the Eagle Athletic Booster Club and more than 40 highly qualified coaches, enabling hundreds of students to participate in athletics.

Fall 2008

Development Over the years, Second Baptist School has been blessed by the generosity of parents, grandparents, alumni, and friends. The investment has allowed the school to maintain first-class academic, fine arts, and athletic programs. However, independent private schools like SBS are either tuition-driven or endowment-driven institutions. Historically, SBS has been a tuition-driven environment, and as a result, the current endowment program stands at a lower level compared to other private schools in the country with a similar history, background, and focus. The current structure of the endowment supports one of the greatest strengths of the school – SBS teachers. In order to sustain a highly qualified faculty, the SBS community must refocus its commitment to the endowment program.

Goal – Cultivate within and beyond the SBS community a stronger sense of recognition and giving to the fundraising program, ensuring the school’s capacity to fund its broad objectives in the short-term and the long-term.

{

2007-2008 Highlights

}

• Exceeding the Second Fund goal, dollars raised provided students with a quality education from Second Baptist School. • EagleFest 2008 raised $594,794.43 through the generous donations, silent auction, online auction and carnival. The money raised went towards the Faculty Endowment Fund. • Last year, more than 40 alumni and their children that are currently SBS students attended the first annual Second Generation Breakfast. Throughout the school year, more than 250 alumni participated in events hosted by the Office of Alumni Relations. • Distinguished Speaker Luncheon, featuring Michael Reagan, provided a meaningful Christmas bonus for all SBS faculty.

Technology

In the twenty-first century, students confront an innovative, fast-paced, and digitally-based world. Preparing students for the flat world is an important factor and necessary component to the SBS curriculum. Students have greater access to technology than any generation before them. As they “grow up digital,” educational institutions like SBS must be future focused and innovative to properly engage students with informational technology that will enhance the learning process.

Goal – Establish a roadmap promoting continuous innovation with technology in and out of the classroom.

thank you Dear SBS Family,

When reflecting on our journey at Second Baptist School, we think about the first days of school, fun field trips, special prayers with teachers, grandparent programs, new friendships, EagleFest, and countless memories that will always be so close to our hearts. As we continue the journey in to a new school year, we would like to thank all of the families that contributed to the financial success of the School during the 2007-2008 year. Last year our goal for the Second Fund was to raise $450,000 to make up for the costs that tuition cannot cover, such as operating funds, financial aid for students, educational programs, and more. The goal was exceeded because of your generous contributions! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for everything you give to our School. We feel blessed to be a part of this community with you. We hope you’ll join us with excitement as we look forward to another year at SBS! Blessings, Patti and Vince Elliott Second Fund Chairs 2007-2008

Major Fundraising Highlights at SBS for 2007-2008 This year our three priorities were the Second Fund, Distinguished Speaker Luncheon and EagleFest. Each of these events raised money for a very important cause. Second Fund The Second Fund is a yearlong effort to raise funds to sustain and advance every educational program at the School. SBS seeks charitable gifts from parents, grandparents and friends of the School. SBS alumni and alumni parents are asked to give to the Second Fund through the Elsa Jean Looser Scholarship Fund. Our 2007-2008 campaign was “Second Fund First.” A gift to the Second Fund is the very first gift that every family should consider making to SBS each year. The Second Fund exceeded the goal of $450,000. All gifts, regardless of their size, are a blessing to students at SBS. This number reflects a community who believes in the School’s mission and remains committed to the school’s future progress. As you may know, the dollars raised by the Second Fund bridge the gap between tuition dollars collected and the cost of an SBS education. The Second Fund is essential and each dollar raised is critical in providing the experience we desire for our children.

Distinguished Speaker Luncheon On October 26, 2007 the School hosted the second annual Distinguished Speaker Luncheon featuring Michael Reagan. The event was inspiring and an overwhelming success. The event is a great way to reach out beyond the walls of SBS to our community. All proceeds from this luncheon benefitted the faculty Christmas bonus. EagleFest On April 11, 2008, SBS hosted the second annual EagleFest event. EagleFest is an all-school event for students in PK – 12 and their families. The day is a celebration that includes a parade, field events, family picnic lunch, carnival, silent auction and much more! Each year the proceeds from this event benefit our Faculty Endowment Fund. The sole purpose of the Faculty Endowment Fund is to benefit our faculty. The funds may be used for salary increases and retirement.

The Second Fund Why do we need the Second Fund? Second Baptist School is an independent school, meaning that the school designs all of its curriculum and programs, and operates without financial support from the federal, state or local government. Unlike public schools, which are funded by tax dollars, independent schools rely solely on tuition fees, endowment income and proceeds from fundraising to meet the operating expenses. The Second Fund is a yearlong effort to raise funds to bridge the four to six percent gap between tuition dollars and the cost of an SBS education.

iGive The Second Fund The LEADERSHIP CIRCLE includes all givers to the Second Fund at the $15,000 and above level for the 2007-2008 fiscal year.

Why doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t SBS charge enough tuition to match the annual operating costs? It is our conviction that a family should not be denied a Christcentered education for their child solely on the basis of level of income. Therefore, tuition income is set at a level that more families can afford. Your Second Fund contribution is tax-deductible. How much are parents/ families expected to give? Families are encouraged to make a charitable gift that reflects prayerful, thoughtful commitment to Christian stewardship. Families should make their gift in consideration of their own financial circumstances. In previous years, the gifts towards the Second Fund have ranged from $1 to $50,000, with the average gift being $818. All gifts are needed and much appreciated.

Why is full participation necessary and important to the Second Fund? Full participation in the Second Fund by parents, faculty/staff, and alumni demonstrates a strong commitment within the SBS community. It also indicates to corporations, foundations, major donors and friends that those individuals most connected to the School are indeed committed to its advancement and involved in its future wellbeing. Therefore, all gifts, no matter what the size, are tremendously important. Each year we strive to reach higher participation levels among our supporters. Thanks to the generosity of those who have contributed in the past, SBS remains a stalwart academic institution.

Matching Gift Program Zimmerman Resources Company

Corporate donors to The Second Fund What is a matching gift and how can I ensure Second Baptist School receives one? A matching gift is a gift from a corporation, community, or employer that parallels your gift to a charitable cause. Many employers match gifts to educational institutions such as Second Baptist School. You are encouraged to ask your employer if they match to primary or secondary education. If so, you should obtain a matching gift form from the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personnel office, fill it in where required, and mail it to the SBS Office of Advancement with your gift. The Office of Advancement will then certify the receipt of the gift and return the form to your company.

Distinguished Speaker Luncheon

Distinguished Speaker Luncheon What is the Distinguished Speaker Luncheon? The Distinguished Speaker Luncheon is an annual event that provides an opportunity to bring our community of supporters together in a meaningful way. It also gives us an opportunity to reach out to others that are outside of the School and showcase SBS to them. During the Distinguished Speaker Luncheon, we take the time to honor one of our Distinguished Alumni for their achievements in the community. Also, we honor one of our Distinguished Alumni Parents for their involvement and support of SBS over the years. Each year we choose a speaker that is positive, motivational and inspiring. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss this event each year! What do the funds raised at the Distinguished Speaker Luncheon go towards? All proceeds from the Distinguished Speaker Luncheon go directly towards the faculty Christmas bonus. This is a meaningful way to show our support to our outstanding faculty.

The PLATINUM SPONSORS includes all givers to the 2007 Distinguished Speaker Luncheon at the $25,000 level.

What is EagleFest? EagleFest is a school wide celebration that includes a parade, field events, family picnic lunch, carnival, silent auction and much more! Each year the proceeds from this event benefit our Faculty Endowment Fund. What can the funds raised for the SBS Faculty Endowment Fund be used for? The SBS Faculty Endowment Fund can be used solely to benefit our faculty. The funds can be used for faculty retirement and future salary increases. What is an endowed fund? A financial endowment is a transfer of money donated to an institution, usually with the stipulation that it be invested, and the principal remain intact in perpetuity or for a defined period of time. This allows for a donation to have a much greater impact over a long period of time. Only the earnings from the funds may be spent.
