Westridge School is an independent, forward-thinking girls’ school committed to educating intellectually adventurous thinkers, and courageous, compassionate leaders. Our purpose is to prepare young women to live lives of meaning, contribution, and impact.
Dear Members of the Westridge Community, Annual reports present wonderful opportunities to reflect on the accomplishments of a single year. Indeed, in the 2014-2015 school year, we witnessed important innovation and progress as an institution and fulfillment of our mission and strategic vision. For example, the STEAMWork Design Studio was developed and a tablet computer program introduced, both of which offer opportunities for creative, interdisciplinary, and inquiry-based learning. We worked to support the physical and emotional development of girls through an innovative new physical education program and expansion of the Peer-to-Peer counseling program. After several years of study, our tuition model was thoughtfully revised in order to support the long-term fiscal strength of Westridge and better meet the needs of our families. We are particularly pleased by innovations in campus-wide teaching and learning. During the year, we focused on an enduring, defining factor of a Westridge education—that we are deeply committed to helping girls develop the clear values and strong voices that empower them as future leaders; as young women who purposefully work to impact the people in their lives and communities of which they are a part. The year’s overarching conversation, framed at Convocation and reflected in the student government annual theme, was of Westridge’s core values of integrity, respect, responsibility, and inclusion. It continued with the November introduction of our strategic plan, Westridge in the 21st Century: Educating and
Empowering Girls to Lead Lives of Courage, Compassion, and Conviction. And it was present throughout the year in conversations in classrooms and student life programs, and in meetings with the adults in our community. (continued)

The commitment of the adults in the Westridge community not only to foster our shared values in our girls but to embrace and model those values in their own lives, is also a defining characteristic of Westridge. One way we see that demonstrated is in the incredible generosity of our community of parents, alumnae, faculty and staff, and friends. Your contributions to Westridge allow us to focus on our exceptional academic programs without losing focus on the vital, human side of a Westridge education. This year, your generosity reached new heights with more than $4.1 million in new gifts and pledges. We are particularly gratified by the early and very generous support of The Campaign for Our Second Century, which will build a more robust endowment. The school’s endowment assures the future of Westridge into its next century by providing support to the programs and faculty that distinguish Westridge. We are grateful for your continued support and understanding of the critical role that philanthropy plays in independent schools. As exemplified by the inspiring students and alumnae profiled in this report, it is true that “lives of impact begin at Westridge.” Westridge girls are poised and ready to contribute here on campus and as they move on in their lives. Your impact as active members of our community and generous supporters of our school makes this possible. It is felt today and will reverberate through generations of students to come — and for that we give our thanks. Sincerely,
Jennifer T. Lum Chair, Board of Trustees

Strategic Plan In a community wide undertaking, Westridge launched its new, five-year strategic plan, setting the course for the school to remain a leader in girls’ education in its second 100 years. Entitled Westridge in the 21st Century: Educating and Empowering Girls to Lead Lives of Courage, Compassion, and Conviction, the strategic plan outlines how Westridge plans to educate and empower girls, engage its community, and ensure its future, all while remaining true to the school’s core values of integrity, respect, responsibility, and inclusion. Global studies, innovation and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math), and becoming a center for learning and research in girls education are just a few of the growth areas identified for Westridge. The entire report is available online at www.westridge.org/strategicplan or by calling 626-799-1053 ext. 264.

STEAMWork Design Studio The Rothenberg Technology Center in the Main Building was transformed from a computer lab into the STEAMWork Design Studio, a makerspace centered on technology that offers opportunities for hands-on work creating, inventing, and collaborating with others. The Studio, equipped with 3D printers, lathes, CNC machines, and 3D scanners, promotes design thinking and interdisciplinary opportunities while exposing girls to 3D design and printing, coding and robotics, and electronics and circuitry. Generous gifts from alumna Lucy Larkin Stephenson ’58 and a donor who wishes to remain anonymous made the Studio possible.

1:1 Tablet Computer Program The sixth grade piloted a 1:1 tablet program utilizing Yoga Ultrabooks. The program’s goals were to support creative learning by actively engaging students in the process of creating knowledge and to foster more individualized learning. That it did. From highly creative projects to new, productive forms of student-teacher interaction (including audio and video feedback on assignments), the students benefited from the new technology. The program will expand by one grade each year as it moves forward with students. In the 2015-2016 school year, students in both the sixth and seventh grades have personal devices.

Rethinking Classroom Design In an effort to enhance girls’ learning through the creative use of physical and virtual space, several classrooms and other spaces were renovated, including Christine Kiphart’s sixth grade classroom. Rows of desks, tables, and desktop computer stations were removed to make space for an array of seating options and work areas. This created a flexible, comfortable learning environment more suitable for the project-based, active curriculum present in today’s humanities classrooms. The new design also provides options for students’ varied learning styles and needs, and Ms. Kiphart reports that the change has positively impacted student engagement and focus. During the summer of 2015, both seventh grade humanities classrooms were similarly redesigned.

Summer Program In June 2015, Westridge introduced a new Westridge Summer Program, which is open to students from Westridge as well as other schools. In its extremely popular Creative Coding class for girls entering grades 3-8, students learned how to build and program robots, while taking advantage of all the tools within the Design Studio. Other Summer Program opportunities included Science, Service, & Leadership for middle school students, and a Global Perspectives travel program for Westridge Upper School students. Look for an expanded curriculum in the program’s second year.

Assistant Head of School Position Re-envisioned for 21st Century Education Jemma Giddings joined Westridge in June of 2014 as the new assistant head of school. With her arrival, the position of assistant head is focused on curriculum design and innovation, and faculty support and professional development. In her first year, among many other assignments, Giddings led development of the STEAMWork Design Studio and the Summer Program, both of strategic importance for our students and our school.

Expansion of Alumnae Programs Westridge’s new Director of Alumnae Affairs, Lisa Vandergriff, made it a priority to increase opportunities for alumnae to connect with each other and the school. In January 2015, the first in a series of events designed to engage alumnae in on-campus learning experiences was a wild success. The three-week Alumnae Ceramics Course was taught by long-time Westridge instructor Juanita Jimenez. After a warm reception to this “test” class, the Alumnae Board is expanding on-campus educational opportunities this year, and has developed an alumnae networking program on its webpage.

Reimagined Upper School PE Program Driven by Westridge’s commitment to support girls in leading physically active and emotionally healthy lives, the Upper School PE curriculum underwent major changes in 2014-2015. Based on studies that point to the importance of aerobic exercise on mental health, girls now meet three times a rotation for PE. Instead of choosing a single area for an entire semester, students now participate in a robust variety of exercises not often found in schools including Zumba, spin, Kung Fusion (a fusion of martial arts), and yoga. Besides the obvious physical benefits of increased exercise, the new PE program yields mental benefits that keep minds alert, focused, and ready to learn.

College Counseling Program Expansion The Westridge College Counseling program continues to add to its arsenal of events and support programs for students as they research and apply to colleges and universities. Last year the department hosted more than 25 events for students and families and welcomed 130 college representatives to Madeline Drive. Student college placement results were exceptional. The 63 members of the Class of 2015 earned 371 acceptances to 162 different colleges and universities; 89% who applied early action gained acceptances. Please see the college matriculation list for the Class of 2015 on page 58 of this report.

Peer-to-Peer Program Growth Peer-to-Peer is a groundbreaking Upper School leadership program and elective course. Students explore issues related to adolescence, including social dynamics and academic pressure, and commit to helping other students using skills they learn. In its second year, the 2014-2015 school year, Peer-to-Peer expanded to include an advanced class. Advanced students co-teach the Beginning Peer-to-Peer class, and also create and implement community enrichment programs within Westridge, including the first Middle School affinity group for students of African descent, craft programs for Lower School students, and math/science tutoring and support for Upper School and Middle School students.
These programs are but a handful of highlights from an incredible year at Westridge, above and beyond the creative and important work being done by faculty and students in our classrooms each day, all year. The Performing Arts Department staged Hamlet, Rabbit Hole, Into the Woods, and Number the Stars. In athletics, four teams went to playoffs and 15 individuals went on to championship play, Middle School soccer was the undefeated Independent League Champion, and our lacrosse program added a junior varsity team to handle burgeoning interest. Kim Phuc, “the girl in the picture” from the Vietnam War, led the campus speakers series. Water Warriors, Petridge, and the Yam Festival maintained their important places in the heart of our community, along with numerous events and programs that help make Westridge the special school it is.

It is true that lives of impact begin at Westridge. The form that impact takes is wide and varied, and an entire book could be filled with stories demonstrating how our students and alumnae are making their marks on the world. On the next three pages, we profile just a few Westridge alumnae change-agents. Scattered through the remaining pages of this report are student profiles providing insight into the many ways girls begin their lives of impact while still at Westridge.

in memoriam James F. Rothenberg 1946-2015
There is no finer example of living a life of impact than that of James F. Rothenberg, long-time Westridge Trustee, former Board chair, and parent of two Westridge alumnae (Katie Rothenberg Wei ’94 and Erin Rothenberg Baker ’96). In addition to his role as chairman of Capital Group Companies, Jim was a visionary and generous leader of non-profits across Pasadena, Los Angeles, and the country, including Caltech, the Huntington Library and Gardens, Huntington Hospital, the J. Paul Getty Trust, and Harvard University. Westridge was privileged to be counted among the institutions impacted by Jim’s leadership and generosity. As a trustee from 1988 through 2004, Jim’s expertise in governance, financial planning and operations were key factors in positioning the school for the future. As philanthropists, Jim and his wife Anne shaped the Westridge of today. The Anne F. and James F. Rothenberg Humanities Center, The Performing Arts Center, the Rothenberg Family Technology Center in the Main Building, the entire North Campus including the Science Building, and the annual Summer Opportunities Fair all continue as testimony to the Rothenbergs’ leadership and vision. At a recent event, Elizabeth McGregor described Jim as Westridge’s North Star, saying, “we will miss his wisdom, guidance, and sage advice. He was instrumental in helping the school set a strong course for its future, and establishing a standard for all of us in helping Westridge to remain a center of educational excellence for generations of girls.” We will miss Jim’s leadership and wise counsel, but most of all, we will miss his friendship.

Members of the Young Alumnae Circle are committed to raising awareness about the importance of giving back to Westridge and to reuniting alumnae through social activities and programs. The group is comprised of graduates from the past 10 years, Classes of 2004—2014. The group’s mission is: • To recognize recent graduates who make annual gifts that set the standard for other young Westridge alumnae. • To create opportunities for young alumnae to network, socialize, and build relationships. • To ensure a strong alumnae community. We are pleased to recognize our current Young Alumnae donors: Mari Amend ’09 Cornell Banta ’11 Gibson Banta ’07 Madeline Banta ’08 Katherine Chu ’14 Heidi Denenholz ’05 Laura Denenholz ’07 Emma Diamond ’09 Noura Elfarra ’08 Sabrina Elfarra ’07 Caitlin Emslie ’12 Laura Eng ’09 Hannah Erskine ’12 Evan Garlock ’09 Y Holly Higgins ’09 Elizabeth Hutton ’13 Cassandra Iroz ’10

Founding member of the Peer-to-Peer counseling program on campus. Felt there was a need for a safe and approachable resource for younger students — one that wasn’t their favorite internet search engine — to receive help with “the everyday things” faced by adolescent girls. Launched a website that allows seventh and eighth graders to ask questions and seek advice anonymously. Along with a small core group of trained peer counselors, thoughtfully answers each question. Wants her fellow Tigers to know that there is nothing wrong with seeking help, no matter how big or small the issue might be, and aims to help break that stigma.

parents Parents of Alumnae, including those whose daughter(s) may have attended only a few years, to those whose daughter(s) graduated in 2015, remain strong supporters of Westridge. Parentheses indicate the daughter’s graduation year — some our our Parents of Alumnae have as many as four Westridge alumnae and some are Current Parents who also have a Westridge graduate in the family. We are grateful to all those who continue to contribute to Westridge.

ways of making a gift Philanthropy is vital to the support of Westridge School’s mission. The school welcomes your belief in its mission to provide the highest quality education to young women, and provides a variety of ways to maximize the impact of your gift. All gifts to Westridge are tax-deductible. Please do not hesitate to contact the Advancement Office with any questions, or to make arrangements for a gift. CASH Current cash gifts are deductible for income tax purposes to the full extent allowed by law, and may be made with cash, checks, or credit card. Pledge payments may be arranged. APPRECIATED SECURITIES If you own stocks or other capital assets that have appreciated in value, a gift of those securities to Westridge can result in significant tax savings. You may be able to obtain a tax deduction for the full value of the gift and avoid paying the tax on the gain you would have had if you were to sell the asset. MEMORIAL OR HONORARY GIFTS Gifts may be given in honor or memory of a friend or a family member or in recognition of a significant event. UNITED WAY Westridge may be designated as the recipient of your United Way contribution. Simply list the school’s name and address on your United Way pledge form. Processing charges may be imposed by United Way. DONATE YOUR CAR Westridge accepts donation proceeds from many organizations that will purchase your vehicle. A donor may wish to sell their car to these organizations with the proceeds of the sale going to Westridge. CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES* Through the California Community Foundation Westridge is able to offer charitable gift annuities — a very attractive planned gift. In exchange for a gift of cash or stock you will be paid a guaranteed lifetime income. You also receive an immediate charitable tax deduction and a portion of each income payment is considered to be a tax-free return of principal. INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS Name Westridge as a beneficiary of your retirement plan and leave less-taxed assets to family. OTHER PLANNED GIFTS* Westridge also accepts planned or deferred gifts through bequests, charitable trusts, life insurance, or pension plans. A donor may wish to consider these gift vehicles as a way to reduce or avoid estate and inheritance taxes. Planned or deferred gifts are recognized through The Madeline Society (page 55). *A tax consultant is your best advisor in designing a giving plan for the benefit of Westridge. However, to explore the various ways to make contributions, contact the Advancement Office at 626.799.1053, ext. 261.

An educational partnership with Pasadena Public Schools
Founded in 1990, Partnership for Success! (PFS!), formerly Skills Enrichment Program, is a partnership between the Pasadena Unified School District and four local independent schools (Polytechnic, Mayfield Junior, Chandler, and Westridge). Each summer, PFS! provides an intensive, five-week enrichment program to approximately 400 public-school students who are chosen by their school principals based on academic promise and financial need. Once students are selected in their fourth grade year, they remain in the program for eight consecutive summers. This long-term commitment between PFS! and its students is essential to the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success. During their time in PFS!, students build their skills in math, science, and language arts. All graduate high school and virtually all graduates of PFS! go on to attend college, most at four-year institutions. Westridge School hosts an all-girls experience for students in grades five and six. During their two summers at Westridge, students take a variety of academic classes to boost their math and verbal skills, preparing for success in middle school. Classes are small (averaging 20 students) and their teachers are joined in the classroom by high school and college-age interns, half of whom are themselves graduates of PFS!. In addition to academic enrichment courses, PFS! students at Westridge have the opportunity to take classes in art, music, multimedia creation, and technology. Field trips provide adventures in the community, and our annual Etiquette Tea gives the girls a chance to dress up and attend a special event with a featured speaker. Daily physical education classes and Friday swim days balance the summer days with exercise. This program is provided at no cost to the student. Funds are raised from individuals, corporations, and foundations. Contributions are made by the four member schools as well as the Westridge Parent Association. With the generous support of those listed, this valuable and successful program continues to benefit hundreds of students each year.

westridge 5th grade
Westridge School gratefully acknowledges the many parents, alumnae, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends who generously contributed their money, time, and effort to Westridge School during the 2014-2015 school year. Every effort has been made to accurately list all contribution receive July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. If, however, an error has been made, please accept our apologies and notify the Advancement office at 626-799.1053, ext. 252. Correction will be made immediately to the online version of Westridge’s Annual Report.
Working on making an impact of its own with a year-long project called “Think, Care, Act.” This fall, brainstormed their strengths, thought about problems they wanted to help solve, and used their strengths to take action. For inspiration, read Chelsea Clinton’s, “It’s Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going!,” and listened to a classmate speak about the Syrian refugee crisis and what she is doing to help affected children. Some students have raised money (including asking for charitable donations instead of birthday gifts!) and awareness for their causes; others have been growing out their hair for Locks of Love, making thankyou cards for rangers protecting endangered species, volunteering in their communities, making dog toys for their local humane societies, and making hygiene kits for refugees.
