RCDS Annual Philanthropy Report 21-22

YOU’RE PART OF SOMETHING GREAT

LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

Dear RCDS Community,

Following one of the most challenging school years in our history, the 2021-22 school year was an extraordinary time of celebration. The RCDS community was eager to reunite, reconnect, and welcome the return of cherished traditions that make the RCDS experience so special. Audiences reclaimed their seats in our auditorium to applaud students at class plays. To enhance their learning, students ventured off campus to places like Camp Ockanickon, Philadelphia, the Robert J. Novins Planetarium, and the Pocono Environmental Education Center. Our triumphant return to family-style dining gave students and faculty the opportunity to bond over shared meals. Students and their families marveled over the displays of talent at the annual Arts Festival. Fans cheered on our athletes at athletic contests with true Gator pride, and our outstanding Parent Council hosted events like the inaugural Gator Cup and the Chili Cook-off to bring our community together again. With gratitude, we are proud to share with you the 2021-2022 Annual Philanthropy Report to relive all that we’ve accomplished together in the last year. The generosity of our community made the ’21-’22 Annual Giving Campaign a tremendous success. Participation was strong, and we exceeded our goals for the fiscal year. A total of 421 donors contributed to the $930,951 raised for Annual Giving. The pages of this report highlight the ways your support enabled us to deliver the unparalleled programming and experiences that make an RCDS education Truly Great.

Thank you to our faculty, staff, parents, past parents, alumni, trustees, former trustees, and friends for supporting The Rumson Country Day School. Together, our community makes an immeasurable impact on the lives of our students and our School, and I am extremely grateful for your unwavering spirit of giving.

Respectfully,

Carson T. Smith Head of School

Dear RCDS Community,

My deep love of RCDS is not a secret. I have expressed many times over the years how the School has touched my family in countless and immeasurable ways. Every 10 years, independent schools undergo a thorough and rigorous accreditation process, and as many of you know, we recently hosted a visiting accreditation team at RCDS. This team is charged with viewing the school through the lens of its mission statement and the NJAIS Standards for Accreditation. Not surprisingly, the Accreditation team had an experience within the walls of RCDS similar to the one I have each time I step foot on campus. The following is just a small portion of their report, but one that should make our community feel proud.

“From first to last, in every interaction experienced or observed by the visiting team members, we agree that we have been in a school that does what it says regarding the commitment of community members to be kind, to be honest, to be responsible, and to be respectful…One of the visiting team’s broadest conclusions from our time with you is that we see you as you see yourselves as indicated in all of the materials we had access to before and during our visit, particularly in your dedication to fulfilling the three major commitments of your Mission Statement. The alignment among mission, values, actions, and outcomes confirms a high degree of institutional integrity at The Rumson Country Day School. As the school’s centennial anniversary approaches, the shared set of values found within the Four Pillars continue to strengthen and align the cultural expectations of students, staff, and parents.”

The commitment to philanthropy by our faculty, staff, parents, past parents, grandparents, alumni, trustees, and former trustees is one of these shared values. Thanks to you, the 2021-22 Annual Campaign raised over $900K. Your generous support, along with the support of those before you, has allowed The Rumson Country Day School to serve children for the past century and ensures the School will continue to thrive for the next generation of students. I am truly grateful and honored to be a part of our community.

Dear RCDS Community,

The 2021-2022 school year was a year of peeling back restrictions as we returned to “normal”. Many of the sports, trips, full lunch service in the dining room, plays and events returned to the calendar in the spring. These transitions presented logistical, operational and financial challenges as we returned to normal as quickly and safely as possible. Thanks to the continued generous support of our donors we were able to successfully navigate those challenges. With the aid and expertise from our Board of Trustees and the Finance Committee, The Rumson Country Day School continues to operate within a sound financial structure, ensuring the School’s current and long term fiscal health. On behalf of the faculty, staff, and trustees, thank you for your partnership.

THE IMPACT OF ANNUAL GIVING

Valued at $17,481,000 as of June 30, 2022, The Rumson Country Day School’s endowment is an investment in the future that is intended to ensure the School can continue to pursue its mission in perpetuity with palpable momentum and a remarkable trajectory forward.

Like all independent schools, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a Rumson Country Day School education. Your gift to our Annual Giving campaign helps offset those costs while allowing you to make a 100% charitable tax deduction for your investment in your child’s education.

Annual Giving supports all aspects of our school, from classroom learning and special trips, to family-style dining, arts and athletics, faculty enrichment and maintaining our campus—everything that makes RCDS an exceptional Nursery through 8th grade experience. We simply cannot meet the mission of RCDS without these unrestricted annual gifts.

Participating in Annual Giving is the most meaningful way to support the school and the people who make a difference in your child’s life each day.

Annual Giving Supports:

• Experiential Learning and Trips

• Extracurricular Activities

• Professional Development

• Strategic Integration of Technology

• The Arts

• Athletics

• Service Learning

• Special Occasions including Alumni Reunions, Grandparents Day, The Arts Festival, and Holiday Concerts

• Tuition Assistance

CELEBRATING THE THE CLASS OF 2022

Hundreds of people filled chairs on the athletics field of The Rumson Country Day School to celebrate the Class of 2022 on Friday, June 10. All fifty students graduated with distinction not only in the academic and athletic fields, but they also showed perseverance during two years of change and uncertainty. Students were relentless in their pursuit of excellence and their efforts did not go unrecognized. Keeping with RCDS tradition, several graduates were honored with awards to acknowledge their achievements.

Academics: Truly Great N-8 Lasts a Lifetime

Academics: Truly Great N-8 Lasts a Lifetime

At RCDS, learning never hits a ceiling.

A warm and nurturing classroom setting allows children to grow socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually.

Community building flows into academics. When students are in an environment where everyone is treating one another with kindness and respect, learning is always way more productive.”

—Erin Campanella, 4th Grade Teacher

RCDS sets high academic standards and provides the resources, tools, and support to help children meet them.

When students are known by every adult at school, they can achieve anything they set their minds to.

Giving 100% to academics, extracurriculars, and community is ingrained in our school culture.

The Arts: Setting the Stage for Creative Expression

The RCDS Arts Program encourages students to express themselves and develop and practice the non-cognitive skills and qualities that are strong predictors of success in life.

Students work in a variety of media to stimulate creativity, design thinking, discipline, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

A willingness to take risks is not something everyone is comfortable with. Our arts program provides many opportunities for our students to put themselves out there…And those experiences will serve our students in any discipline— it’s not limited to the arts—these skills will guide them for the rest of their lives.”

—Amanda Schottlander, Music Teacher

Students learn to view the world from unique perspectives.

A strong emphasis on the performing arts allows students to learn the fundamentals of public speaking while building confidence and practicing creativity and teamwork.

Athletics: Coached to Compete with Character

Focus on the Three A’s: Ability, Attendance, and Attitude encourages student-athletes to develop life skills that help them become successful in all their endeavors.

More than 80% of Upper School students participate in RCDS athletics.

We worked like a team, not a one-person show. That’s what wins games —teamwork.”

—Max Baret ’22

RCDS’s no-cut policy creates a sense of inclusivity that makes each player feel like they belong and that they are a valued member of the team.

When working as a team, role models rise to the occasion. Students learn to lead, support their teammates, and respect their opponents.

The Four Pillars instill belonging, purpose, and accountability among everyone in the RCDS community.

RCDS students participate in a roster of activities that support local programs, including the CROP Hunger Walk, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Holiday Express and Lunch Break.

The RCDS Service Learning Program is born from our core values, and integrated into our students’ educational experience.

We’ve been talking about the School’s Four Pillars—Kind, Honest, Responsible, Respectful—since I was a Beginner. The Pillars are everywhere in the School as a reminder. My parents even have them posted on a bulletin board at home.”

Signature Traditions: Connecting Generations

No one sits alone during Family-Style Dining because students always have a place where they belong at RCDS.

Traditions like family-style lunch forced us to step outside of our comfort zones and meet new people.

Morning Greeting taught us people skills like shaking hands and looking someone in the eye. No-cut sports teams encouraged us to try new things.”

—Caitlin Luby

Celebrating student and faculty achievements as one big family makes Class Day one of the most anticipated events for the RCDS community.

Time-tested traditions like Morning Greeting have made a lasting impact on our students for nearly a century.

Signature traditions contribute to the sense of belonging at RCDS, and reinforce the School’s values and life skills.

THE RCDS LIBRARY FUND

The Bergeron Family initiated the campaign with a generous gift in memory of beloved RCDS teacher Jeanne Bergeron who passed in the spring of 2022.

Together with the Bergeron Family, the RCDS community raised a total of $33,570 to begin a new chapter for the RCDS library. Funds raised provided new books, updated resources, and technology needed to bring the library up to 21st-century standards and serve the needs of the entire RCDS community. By providing greater access to an array of wellmanaged resources, the school library will become the heart of the RCDS campus—a place to encourage students, educators, and families to become lifelong learners and improve students’ opportunities for success.

FROM THE PARENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT

A heartfelt message of gratitude to all of our parents who volunteer their time, talents, and efforts to support the RCDS Parent Council. Whether acting as a class parent, chair or co-chair of an event, or committee member and volunteer, it truly takes a village, and we are very lucky to have you a part of ours.

The 2021-2022 school year began with some hurdles, but Parent Council rose to the occasion and planned many activities safely outdoors, pivoting as needed. Our first annual sports outing, Gator Cup, was a huge success and brought the entire parent community together for a fun day of golf, tennis, and paddle. We introduced a new free activity in the fall, Parent Council’s Chili Cook-Off, which quickly became a favorited family-friendly event for all. In December, Parent Council was able to bring back the treasured Scholastic’s Book Fair, in person, and not only was Riker Hall filled with amazing new book titles, but it was also beaming with joy, spirit, and enthusiasm from the entire community, especially from our children.

Parent Council also hosted Welcome Back and Holiday Breakfasts for our beloved faculty and staff, as well as a full week of appreciation events in the spring to support and champion their hard work and dedication. Our Kindness Committee coordinated numerous “Gators Give Back” initiatives throughout the year; Chalk the Walk, Thanksgiving meals to Horizon families, Holiday Giving Tree, Clean Ocean Action Beach Sweeps, Bicycle Drives, Crayon Collections for The Crayon Initiative, Coat Drive, and the Ukraine Cookie Fundraiser which raised funds for the Tikya Orphanage in Ukraine, are just a few examples of the generosity and community service in our amazing little school. While we had to forego the planning of Whale of a Sale, we were able to host Parent Council’s largest “friendraiser” in the spring, by inviting our fellow Gators to the racetrack for a derby-themed Gator Bash. Parent Council then sent the children off for a fun-filled summer with a surprise visit from the ice cream truck, applauding them for yet another, spectacular year at RCDS.

Thank you to Carson Smith who led our community during these unprecedented times. All our successes would not have been possible without his leadership. Thank you to our committed Board of Trustees, our inspiring faculty and staff, our generous parent population, and especially, our impressive children. I am so grateful to be a Gator!

CORPORATE MATCHING GIFTS

GIFTS TO THE ENDOWMENT

The Rumson Country Day School’s Endowment Funds can be compared to an individual’s savings account and investments. A strong endowment endeavors to provide a permanent source of annual revenue providing support for teachers, students, and programs. Continuing to grow our endowment affords RCDS the opportunity to both plan and fulfill strategic, long-term decisions on a solid financial foundation. Above all, perhaps, endowment means long-term security, protecting the School’s quality if enrollments temporarily decline or the economy hits a rough spot.
