A Letter from Development Chair, Nancy Connery
Dear friends, As our eldest Hailey launched her high school career at Marin Catholic in August, it was a time of great reflection for our family. What would the next phase look like as she prepared to move on from MP&MS after 13 years here? Was she well prepared for this exciting change? I can say with confidence that it has been an extremely smooth transition. Additionally, Morgan is flourishing in seventh grade with the enhanced curriculum and larger class size. Chris and I are eternally grateful to MP&MS for playing an instrumental role in Hailey’s and Morgan’s success. With Andrew Slater in his second year of leadership, it has been my privilege to work very closely with him as a Trustee and member of his Transition Committee. Watching him complement the core values that make MP&MS the special place that it is, while also pushing academic accountability to a new level, has been inspiring. It has also been wonderful to watch Andrew integrate into our community, and for our community to embrace Andrew and the new team members with open arms. It is this very warmth and generosity from our community that makes MP&MS so special. Studies
show that philanthropists make conscious decisions to support causes and people they believe in. For our family as we think about our giving trends on an annual basis, MP&MS has always been at the top of our list. What better cause to support than the educational environment of our children? What better cause to support than the enhancement of our facilities and the integration of new staff and administration? And, what better example to set for our children than to support the very environment that helped launch them into young adulthood? It is with hands over our hearts that Chris and I pledge to continue to make MP&MS a philanthropic priority for our family. I hope you can join us in doing the same as we prepare to launch this year’s fundraising efforts. Thank you in advance to our remarkable community for all you do. With gratitude,
Nancy Connery Hailey (alumna) & Morgan (seventh)

Thank You from Head of School, Andrew Slater
Dear families, On behalf of Marin Primary & Middle School, thank you for your generosity in support of the 20172018 Annual Fund Campaign. Each year, the Annual Fund provides resources to support our dedicated teachers and staff as they develop our dynamic and innovative program. From professional development, to technology initiatives, to classroom resources, to the maintenance of our facilities, there is not a part of our school that isn’t strengthened by the Annual Fund. Your generous contributions also support our efforts to provide competitive compensation for our teachers and tuition assistance funds to keep the school affordable for a wide range of families. The MP&MS community thrives because we share a common goal: to provide and maintain an educational environment for our students that
4
is reflective of the school’s mission. Together, we have made a commitment to academic excellence and to inspiring children to make a difference. MP&MS has made education meaningful by encouraging pride in self, respect for others, and enthusiasm for learning for more than forty years. Each year, our program evolves to offer students new challenges and exciting opportunities for personal growth. And you—our parents, alumni, faculty, grandparents, and friends—are at the heart of our success. Thank you again for your partnership and support of our school. Take care,
Andrew Slater Head of School

teaching our kids about speech, expressions, movement and the art of acting, all the while ensuring they have fun. When we toured kindergarten, the group of 12-15 of us walked into one of Charlie’s drama classes and there were eighth graders performing persuasive speeches. The eighth grader speaking glanced over at our large group and, without missing a beat, kept on going with her speech. It’s remarkable to witness the poise and confidence that MP&MS students gain throughout their time at school, due in no small part to Charlie. Paige is also a musician and has worked with Michael (Wray) on piano since the 4th grade. He has nurtured her musicianship with both lessons and time to be creative and explore her skill. Under his guidance, we’ve seen her blossom into a remarkable player who is willing to put herself and her music out into the world from middle school band, to JamFest at Sweetwater, to performing at Grandparents and Special Friends Day. We are very thankful that MP&MS has been a place for her to focus on the arts. Erik and Ali Witte, parents of Paige (who started in the Forest at two and a half years old and is now in eighth grade), have been longtime champions of all things MP&MS. From serving on the PA Board to acting as HRP, chairing Sock Hop to co-producing the middle school drama production, the Wittes have always stepped in to participate and lead by example. In their twelfth and final year at MP&MS, they take a look back at some of the highlights that have defined their experience here. What stands out most about the MP&MS community? Unequivocally, it’s that Paige loves school. This has been a place that’s taught her that it’s okay to love school - it’s not nerdy. She’s been given the gift of knowing who she is as a learner, what her values are and what’s important to her personally; this will equip her to be in a really strong place as she enters high school. We also want to mention how thankful we are for the community in our class. We have a very special, tight-knit, supportive community of parents who have become dear friends. What specific programs or areas does your child love? Throughout her time at MP&MS, Paige has loved the arts, with a focus on drama and music. Paige has always participated in the drama productions and we’ve seen firsthand how Charlie (Queary) does an exceptional job
Are there any skills or characteristics that have been cultivated in your child here? Paige is highly empathetic and that’s really flourished here because there’s space for kids to demonstrate that characteristic; it’s nurtured and honored. We’ve seen her EQ grow immensely during her time here. Recently we were on a family trip, and there was an older couple who looked like they could use some help, and, with no parental prodding, Paige jumped up and asked if she could get them anything. We glanced around a bit later and she had brought the couple a plate of cookies and was sitting with them having a nice chat. She was so at ease with them and while I think some of that behavior is who she is as a kid, it’s also a quality that’s been fostered here. Why is it important to you to give back to MP&MS? We’ve always viewed giving back as just another part of being a member of the MP&MS community. This community has given so much to our family and to Paige as a learner, from preschool all the way to her teen years. We give because it’s important to us to be a part of the process of the school on its own journey of maturity. We have small class sizes, low student-teacher ratios, an amazing arts program, an incredible community, and events that tie us all together. We know giving supports all of this and we wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else. 5

Annual Fund #MPMSGratitude
The Annual Fund is the cornerstone of fundraising at MP&MS and relies on the generosity of current parents, alumni, trustees, employees, grandparents, and friends. Along with tuition, the Annual Fund supports the day-today operations of the school. The addition of Annual Fund dollars also helps keep tuition as affordable as possible by meaningfully contributing to the operating budget. Annual Fund dollars make it possible for us to attract and retain the best faculty, provide professional development opportunities for our staff, fund programs in art, athletics, and music, and purchase classroom materials, information technology, and other equipment. Our goal is to achieve 100% participation! We gratefully accept gifts of all amounts. Our leadership giving begins at $7,500.

Capital Campaign A capital campaign is an intensive fundraising effort designed to meet the long-term needs of an organization. These needs can include the construction of new buildings, renovation of existing buildings, and acquisition of equipment. Capital projects address the fact that exceptional teaching must take place with excellent tools, including classrooms that accommodate the latest technology as well as enough space to climb, play, learn, and gather outdoors. Examples of capital projects in recent years include the playground remodel, new science lab, upgraded restroom facilities, improved ADA accessibility, amphitheater, and an updated outdoor education center.
Annual Auction Nashville Nights, April 27, 2019, MIll Valley

Each year, the MP&MS community comes together to contribute the time, money, and resources necessary to produce this amazing fundraiser. This event is always an impressive and memorable night out. Support and participation from our community for the auction, as well as sponsorships and underwriting, help to make this event a success.

Tom Rosko
–
You gave so much to MP&MS over the years. What do you feel you got back, personally or professionally? I loved going on the class trips. Some of the kids who might be shy in the classroom setting would be outspoken and confident in new surroundings. Sometimes the younger students would feel homesick, whereas the older students enjoyed being more independent. It really gave me the ability to get to know each student on a different level. The moments when I was able to really connect with students on those trips—like staying up late playing cards on the eighth grade trip to Washington—meant a lot.
As an MP&MS teacher for 18 years, Tom Rosko was integral to the fabric of the community and beloved by students and families. He possesses a deep understanding of what it means to be an educator, as well as what it means to be a parent of an alum (Andy, son of Tom and his wife Irene, graduated from MP&MS in 1999). Since retiring in 2018, Tom has been enjoying spending more time with his family and is looking forward to traveling, especially at times other than during school vacations! What stands out to you most about MP&MS? My perspective is a little different because I’ve been a member of the faculty and I’ve also been a parent at MP&MS–so I’ve seen the way the school works from both sides. As a parent, there are so many activities, meetings, and dinners over the years, and these opportunities to get together give you a chance to share the experiences you’re facing. These friendships last for many years. As a teacher, what I’ve been impressed with is the level of professionalism among my colleagues, who always have different strategies and tricks for presenting curriculum and bringing out the best qualities in the kids. I always found it inspiring to observe teachers who were bringing content alive in such varied ways.
How did parent support and participation help you accomplish your goals as a teacher? This happened in so many ways. Parents sometimes came on class trips to help out and make sure everything went smoothly—like on the Clem Miller trip, where they do such an incredible job taking over the kitchen work. They always lent their support in a way that really impacted the experience. As a teacher, it always felt like MP&MS parents were on your side. When parents offer positive feedback and acknowledge the way you really know their child, that recognition is very validating because it shows that they see you as a partner in the education of their children. Why did you give so much back to MP&MS? I’ve always had the sense that to make any organization successful, people are called on to do not just what’s required, but to go above and beyond. Once you really start to know the kids and understand them, it’s not work anymore—it’s almost like being an extra parent at times. When you’re delivering academic content to a student, that’s one thing. But when they get to know you and share how they’re struggling, whatever you give to them in terms of effort and time, you feel you get back in spades. It’s a reciprocal relationship, so you get back what you put in. Anything else you’d like to add? I am amazed at the talent and dedication of so many of the teachers, and of parents too. To be in a community where you see people so dedicated to their jobs, taking so much interest in the kids, doing so much to make the school run better—it just makes you feel good about the future because of what these teachers put into their work.

An Update from Chief Financial Officer, David Brown
We have closed the books on fiscal year 2018, which ended June 30, and completed our annual audit with our new audit firm this year, Armanino LLP. Net assets grew to $8.3 million from $7.4 million a year ago, an increase of 12%. Unrestricted net assets grew faster, rising 18% to $8.0 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $10.3 million, up from $8.9 million a year ago. Long term financial sustainability is my highest goal and we continue to make great progress on improving the balance sheet and building reserves. Functional expenses for fiscal 2018 were nearly $10.5 million dollars and will rise further this year. We work hard to maintain controls that keep our spending in line and allow us to properly fund ongoing program expenses, even while continuing to build our balance sheet. Our spending each year is dominated by our costs for people–teachers and staff. Along with salaries that need to continue to grow to allow teachers and staff to live in the expensive Bay Area, costs for benefits continue to rise
8
faster than inflation. Combined with the rising costs of our facilities rent, improvement, and maintenance, we expect our cash expenses to rise by nearly 5%. We seek to keep tuition and fee expense growth as low as possible, and our increases have generally been below the average of our nearby peer schools. But tuition is not enough to cover all the expenses of the school. The Master Plan work continues with fundraising and funding specific to those needs. To meet operating needs and continue to enhance our program, we require annual fundraising from the Annual Fund and the PA events. Your generous gifts to these campaigns help MP&MS meet our mission and goals for improving our program. As we look ahead to the school’s future, we know that the generous support of our entire community will continue to play an important role. Gifts from our charitable donors are essential to the exceptional programs and singular atmosphere at MP&MS. The contributions made today will have an invaluable and lasting impact on MP&MS for years to come.

Meet the Development Team Ledlie Pastor Associate Director of Development Ledlie Pastor’s depth of experience and capacity for fostering strong relationships are the heart of our Development Office. Serving in a range of development roles at The Taft School in Watertown, CT and the Community School of Naples in Naples, FL, Ledlie has managed highly successful annual fund appeals, special events, alumni outreach, and more. Her sophisticated skill set, keen understanding of philanthropic giving, and capacity to make a meaningful impact on our capital campaign in the coming years are just some of the many ways she is already a wonderful fit for our team. Born and raised in Connecticut, Ledlie’s passion for philanthropy grew out of her family’s deep commitment to giving back—their regular involvement in local educational and charitable causes set the stage for her natural affinity for this work. The early foundation she received from her parents about the importance of philanthropy has served as an anchor for Ledlie, both personally and professionally. Ledlie and her husband, Ben, relocated to Marin this summer with their daughters (Lilly, first grade; Addie, JK) and are thrilled to be settling in the area and establishing connections that will make this their home.

– The Deason Family donor profile
When JB was in Kindergarten, I was on the playground with him when a teacher I didn’t know said, “Hey JB, how are you?!” It was Peter (Eldredge), the second grade teacher. To be at a school where teachers know students by name and interact with them around campus—even though they’ve never even had them in class—is really remarkable. Two years ago, every picture Molly drew had the MP&MS logo on it. Now that says something about how much this school means. Of course I saved all those drawings because they were so hilarious! What do your kids love about being here? My kids love everything. There are no complaints that come home. They love the teachers and the people who work here. I think they don’t know how good they have it! The specialist programs here are intertwined into the curriculum and it’s all tied together in a way that makes learning so much fun. JB loves After Care and begs me every day to stay—they don’t want to be picked up! Molly loves art and music. Her time with Paul and JJ is so special. Molly and JB Deason won a day with Nurse Shannon and the San Francisco Giants at the In Bloom Auction! Pictured here with Lou Seal and MP&MS friends Sadie and Kieran Moorcroft.
When Mark and Meredith Deason first heard about Marin Primary & Middle School, they hadn’t yet explored many schools for their children (JB–fifth grade, Molly–third grade). But after several compelling conversations with some MP&MS parents, they were inspired to come visit and found that the school had an unexpected appeal. Since 2013, the Deasons have participated in school life in a range of ways. From leading admission tours to helping with the auction, serving on the PA to acting as HRP, Gold Country to International Day, they love giving back to MP&MS. What stands out most about the MP&MS community? From the start, it struck us as a very tight-knit and enthusiastic community. We had heard about how big some of the public schools were, and we realized that a smaller community might be a better fit for us. This isn’t a “checkthe-box” education—with the interactive program and the amazing specialists, kids really get a hands-on education. What do you think MP&MS gives to your children? This is their community—it’s an extension of their family. I love how all the educators and administrators know them.
Are there any skills or characteristics that have been cultivated in your children here? They are both very empathetic. They will come across a conflict and have the ability to ask themselves, “How can we solve this as a whole?” They’ve been taught that the world doesn’t revolve around them and they have a sense of accountability. The SEL curriculum is really powerful. They also know what kind of learners they are. When I’m working with him on something, JB will say, “Mom, I’m a very visual learner.” It’s such a cool skill for them to have, and so important as they grow on their journey through school and life. I’ve also been really impressed by how they are taught to respect adults. They have a sense of maturity in how they interact with adults because of the relationships that are modeled at school. Why is it important to you to give back to MP&MS? We give back because when you are part of a community, you contribute to make sure that it works—and in order for it to work, everyone needs to participate. We have also heard about many of the things the school is trying to raise money for, and we would really like to give those to our kids and our community. Every little bit helps, so we want to do whatever we can. We see how happy our kids are and we know that they’re happy for a reason. 11
Fund-A-Need – In Bloom Auction & Celebration
At the core of our mission, and among the most important pillars of our work, is that “we inspire children to make a difference.” This manifests in many ways, the most meaningful of which is through our actions. We instill in our students a passionate dedication to and concern for the world they will inherit; and as a result, they are committed to ensuring that it is as clean, as safe, as just, and as kind as we can possibly make it. In response to this deep sense of responsibility, our Fund-a-Need this year was Greening & Growing Marin Primary & Middle School! Through a series of initiatives, our goal was to help our school not only care for our planet, but create a greener and more energized campus that will prepare our students for success. Your generous support of Greening and Growing has helped us embrace sustainable practices to reduce our environmental impact, protect our planet, and conserve resources, greening our school even as we continue to grow.
12
The Raise Your Paddle investments continue to help MP&MS make a difference with current best practices in sustainability. This Fund-A-Need wish list included: • Innovative and “green” furniture that is sustainably manufactured—reducing environmental impact while refreshing classrooms to enhance learning; • Energy efficient windows and lighting—reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions; • Water bottle filling stations in the preschool, primary, and middle school hallways—reducing plastic waste by up to 36,000 single-use bottles per year; • Standard receptacles for trash, recycling, and compost in every classroom—inspiring habits in sustainability and promoting conservation of natural resources, landfill space, and energy. Thank you for helping us challenge and inspire our students to make a difference!
