Report on Philanthropy 2020–2021


REPORT ON PHILANTHROPY 2020-2021

Thank You For Your Stewardship Dear Friends, On behalf of the Wilmington Friends School Board of Trustees, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who is recognized in the following Report on Philanthropy. Year after year, our school benefits tremendously as you share your time, talents, and financial resources with our community. I am truly inspired by the generosity you have shown again this year, especially given its challenges and uncertainties. This past June, I had an opportunity to share a few reflections with the WFS Class of 2021 about how I try to approach the trials and tribulations that we all face in life. I have come to see life as a journey that we are all on together, which will play out in ways that we can’t possibly predict. While it can be unnerving, I believe that the very unpredictability of life is what also makes it so wonderful, if we can learn to accept and embrace it as it happens, and consider each wrong turn, detour, or delay in our journey as an opportunity. That is certainly what the Friends community has done this past year. Our faculty, staff, and students have embraced new ways of teaching and learning in the face of the global pandemic. As they were forced off of familiar paths, they found new opportunities for academic and personal growth, and many moments of joy along the way. Our parent, grandparent, and alumni communities similarly found new ways of engaging with the school and each other, through reimagined events from virtual Meeting for Worship, lectures, and cooking nights, to school concerts and grandparents’ day via Zoom. We seized the opportunity to bring our community members together from across the country and around the globe as we never have before. The donors listed in these pages have made all of this possible. Whether through an endowment or legacy gift, giving in honor of faculty and staff during the Teacher Appreciation Week Challenge, or helping unlock the $10,000 matching gift of two generous donors which allowed our Annual Fund to reach its $1,000,000 goal, your gifts have a direct impact on each and every one of our students, faculty, and staff. You provided them with the resources they needed to rise to this year’s challenges, and enable us to continue to invest in making our resilient school community stronger than ever. Thank you again for your support, and best wishes for a safe and healthy year ahead. In Friendship,

David Tennent Clerk, Board of Trustees Wilmington Friends School

Smith McMillan Virtual 5K October 24, 2020

The pandemic didn’t stop us from continuing with the Homecoming tradition of the Smith McMillan 5K, held in memory of Wendy Smith McMillan ’77 and Jonathan Bacon Smith ’83, and benefiting the Financial Aid Endowment at WFS. The 2020 Smith McMillan 5K was reimagined and held in a virtual format. While we missed being together on the starting line on School Road, the silver lining was that we had participation from alumni and other community members from all over the country. Head of School Ken Aldridge, proudly wearing his SM5K shirt, held a Facebook live event in place of our usual in-person race activities. Ken thanked our run clerks and committee, our sponsors, and our participants. Participants ran/walked on their own time and sent pictures of their participation. We even included a family-friendly scavenger hunt for added family fun. Thank you to all who planned, participated, and sponsored our 2020 SM5K. We were grateful for the continued community support despite our inability to be together.

Members of our community gathered together virtually to test their trivia knowledge and catch up with friends. Thank you to everyone who allowed us to keep the Quaker Quiz Night tradition going! This year’s event was free to attend, but thanks to your generosity, we still raised over $2,000. Your support helped our faculty and staff reimagine their roles and classes to continue offering our strong program, rooted in Quaker values.

Remembering Ben Wilkinson In June of 2020, Friends sadly lost longtime community member Ben Wilkinson. Ben was the parent of two alumni — Steve ’90 and John ’95 — and an avid supporter of Quaker athletics during his time as a parent. As his younger son John put it, “My dad loved sports. He looked forward to our ‘game days’ at Friends as much as we did.” In lieu of flowers, the Wilkinsons asked friends and family to consider making gifts to WFS in Ben’s memory. When asked about the impetus behind this request, John explained, “Our motivation behind the gifts in dad’s memory was to harness the fond memories, [and] to also acknowledge the positive impact Friends had on our family as a whole. The School provided opportunity for all of us — a solid education, great friends, and community.” An outpouring of two dozen gifts soon followed, support that will have a tremendous impact on teaching and learning at Friends. To memorialize Ben and his commitment to the Friends community, a small portion of the gifts was used to place a bench in the circle by the Jones House, with a clear view of Coach Tattersall Field. A fitting tribute to a beloved friend and fan of Quaker sports.

Teacher Appreciation Week Giving Challenge This past May, we celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week with a challenge encouraging gifts in honor of WFS faculty and staff members, as a special recognition of their tireless dedication to our students during this unprecedented year. We received 60 gifts in their honor from a generous group of parents, guardians, and grandparents, which will help to fund continued technology improvements and professional development opportunities. For each gift received, we sent personal thank you notes to our faculty and staff members. We also received wonderful notes of appreciation from the families who responded to the challenge, a few of which are excerpted below. Thank you so much for your support!

“You make the world easier to bear for children. Especially now. Thank you.” “A special thank you...for going above and beyond with your communication, support, and positive attitudes for our children during these crazy times!” “We’re so very thankful for the teachers and all they have done for our children.” “Thank you for your tremendous support of our daughter this year. Our family is so grateful for everything you do!” “Thank you...for always going over and beyond for your students! We appreciate all your care and concern.”

Farewell to Sarah Driscoll At the end of June, we said goodbye to our Director of Annual Fund, Sarah Driscoll. Sarah first joined the Wilmington Friends community in 2009, when daughter Kate (Class of 2022) was a kindergartner in Jane Goldberg’s class. Daughter Ellie (Class of 2025) followed her in 2011, joining Sue Geoghegan’s preschool class. Sarah began her role as Director of Annual Fund in 2013. Over the past eight years, Sarah has elevated the School’s Annual Fund program in a variety of ways. During the 2015/16 school year, Wilmington Friends became the first day school in Delaware to eclipse $1M in annual giving, a milestone reached five times, including this year, during Sarah’s tenure. Sarah joined the Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware in the role of Vice President of Resource Development, where she is responsible for the planning and implementation of their donor and fundraising strategy, and will contribute to the overall organizational strategy as a member of the executive team. While she will be missed, with both daughters in the upper school, Sarah will remain an active member of the Friends community, not just as a parent but as a volunteer, serving on the Class of 2022 Senior Fund Committee. We are grateful for all that Sarah has done to help move Friends forward over the last eight years, and we wish her the best of luck in her next adventure. We are thrilled to announce that Aaron Sharp has joined the alumni/development team as the new Director of Annual Fund. Aaron comes to us from the Delaware Nature Society, where he was the event and engagement coordinator. Please join us in welcoming Aaron to WFS!

REPORT ON PHILANTHROPY 2020-2021

Enhancing the Friends Theater Program for Future Generations: An Interview with Herschel Loomis, Jr. ’52 Herschel Loomis, Jr. ’52 currently guest lectures as an emeritus professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in computer engineering and space systems. For fun Hersch reads Agatha Christie and Laurie King mysteries and restores his model railroad. He continues to value his Wilmington Friends experience. His father, Herschel, taught Biology, Chemistry, and Physics and coached Upper School baseball, basketball, and football at Friends until 1942 when he joined Hercules Powder Company. After his retirement from Hercules, he returned to teaching at Sanford Preparatory School and served as a member of the Friends School Board of Managers. Hersch’s mother, Ann, was a substitute teacher in the Lower School, and lived to be 104. His parents moved to Kendal, the Quaker retirement community, in 1970 and were members of Wilmington Monthly Meeting until their passing. Hersch recalls: “I started Kindergarten at the ‘new’ campus in 1938. The teachers were wonderful. Each had their strengths and a few had quirks that were interesting. They carried the Quaker spirit forward in their teaching. Fran Baird, Sally Longstreth, Herb Detweiler, and Ted Savery had a strong influence on me.

The Loomis family crest, reading “Ne Cede Malis” or “Yield Not to Evil”

“I was interested in electronics and science in general. All of my university degrees are in Electrical Engineering. The theater was attractive, but I had little talent or desire to perform. I naturally gravitated to the technical side of theater productions and ran the movie projector for assemblies. “At Cornell, where I was joined by my Friends classmates Bill Lang and Rufus Jones, I was active with the annual musicals such as Brigadoon and Guys and Dolls. Starting on the lighting crew, I worked my way up to technical director for my last show.”

Herschel and Ann Loomis at Longwood Gardens

Hersch was a founding member of the faculty of the College of Engineering at UC Davis in 1962. He and his wife Shirley served on the board of directors for a community Gilbert & Sullivan company in Davis, California. Today, Hersch volunteers for the governance of the Pacific Repertory Theatre in Carmel, where he designed lighting for a Shakespearean show. In 2019, Hersch created an endowed fund to support the Friends theater program, the Wilmington Friends School Herschel and Ann Loomis Endowment for Theater. He says he decided to do this for two reasons: he believes in the mission of the School and he also wants to honor the memory of his parents. Friends is most grateful for Hersch’s generosity and continued engagement with our community. Planned gifts such as the Loomis Endowment for Theater help build our endowment, and in particular will help to train actors, musicians, and technicians for many generations to come. For more information, please contact Monty Harris, Director of Capital and Endowment Giving, at 302.576.2985 or mharris@wilmingtonfriends.org.

Preserving the Spirit of Friends XXVII


Proud of Our Age “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” ~ Sir Isaac Newton Being the first and longest continuously operated independent school in Delaware happens by design— and with “a little help from our friends.” At 273 years young, Friends exists today thanks to the generosity of members of our community who care deeply about the School’s long-term viability. The 1748 Society recognizes friends who include the School in their estate plans, and commit to making a deferred or estate gift. Such generosity ensures that Wilmington Friends will continue to educate students for generations, for centuries. Wilmington Friends School welcomes the following new members of the 1748 Society. Thank you for choosing to make Wilmington Friends School part of your legacy. Anonymous Elizabeth Cavanaugh ’64 Mimi Harlan and W. Scott Harlan ’80 Alexandra Harris ’68 Meredith Graves Rotko and Michael Rotko
