Future of Friends
Report of Gifts The Campaign for Wilmington Friends School
Making History *** Dear Friends,
Once again, Friends School has made history, successfully completing – two years ahead of schedule – the largest fundraising campaign ever for a Delaware day school. And it would not have been possible without the support of the entire school community. Thank you. Our comprehensive campaign totaled more than $28 million, combining gifts to capital projects, the Annual Fund, and endowment. In launching the campaign, we gained tremendous momentum thanks to the generous support of leadership donors among our current families and alumni; our Home & School Association; and our community partners, including Crystal Trust, and the Laffey-McHugh, Welfare, Longwood, and Malone Family Foundations. We also take great pride in the 100 percent participation rate in the Annual Fund, year after year, of the Friends faculty and staff. My own role in implementing campaign projects has focused on facilities, and it’s always exciting to see a new wing or building go up. We’re not quite done yet, with the Global Learning Center, Design Lab, and complementary renovations due to be completed this summer. But as exciting as it is to finish a construction project, and to know it’s been done right, it’s nothing compared to seeing those facilities in use by our students and teachers. The best is still to come, as we see possibilities opened and realized thanks to the Future of Friends campaign. Friends School’s greatest and most distinctive strength always has been a timeless philosophical foundation that doesn’t allow us to stand still – that requires us, as essential to our mission, to keep innovating and to lead. Again, thank you for investment in the Future of Friends. Sincerely,
Bill Baczkowski Interim Head of School

Mati and Chris Buccini ’90 Campaign Co- Chairs
“Friends offers a great education with a soul – in fact, it’s a great education because it has a soul. Programs like QUEST and QUEST Term, and opportunities opened by facilities like the new Global Learning Center, help students to express values in action, to learn through service, to broaden their worldview and deepen their sense of responsibility to the common good. This Campaign was about the “Future of Friends,” but through the lives of its graduates, Friends is really about the future we all share.” Mati and Chris Buccini ’90 are the parents of three current students and have been strong supporters of WFS through their involvement in the Board and its committees, support of the Home and School Association and leadership in the Auction for Friends. Their dedication and positive approach, well known in the larger community, never wavered. We are truly grateful for their motivational and dedicated leadership. (Mati and Chris are pictured with Chris’s mother and longtime WFS supporter, Bernadette Buccini.)
Kate and Bob Pincus Campaign Co- Chairs
“The highlight of the campaign for us was not just seeing that field and track completed, but being able to participate in the dedication in memory of our dear friend, Chris Mellor, a Friends parent who had spent many years watching his sons—Cary, Kyle, and Deane— play soccer and lacrosse for Friends. Debbie Mellor, who has continued to be such a generous member of the Friends community, and Cary were there for the dedication and were able to see, in the enthusiasm of everyone at that field, the lasting impact that their family has had on Friends.” Kate and Bob Pincus, parents of two current students and one WFS grad, were inspired to co-chair the campaign when they recalled their experience as Annual Fund chairs and the great generosity demonstrated by the Friends community. Their sincere belief in the initiatives of the campaign motivated an unprecedented number of participants to join them in supporting the Future of Friends. We are very fortunate to have had such dynamic and inspirational co-chairs.
“This Campaign was about the ‘Future of Friends,’ but through the lives of its graduates, Friends is really about the future we all share.”
David Singleton & Susan Kelley Trustee Leadership
Spanning more than six years, the Future of Friends Campaign benefited from tremendous Board leadership, especially our two chairs. David Singleton, parent of two alumni and a current grandparent at Friends, originally joined the Board of Trustees in 1984, serving two separate stints through 2012. David’s vision helped to launch and define the ambitious scope of the campaign. Susan Kelley, parent of two alumni, picked up where David left off as Board Chair in 2012. Under Susan’s leadership, the school exceeded the campaign goal almost two years ahead of schedule.
“We owe it both to our history and to future generations to continue to provide the learning facilities and programs that distinguish Friends School as a place of exceptional learning and engagement, of character and moral development. It is with great pride, and deep gratitude, that we are able to say we have been successful in this campaign. Every single gift was important.” -- Susan Kelley, Board Chair “Since I joined the Board of Trustees in 1984, I’ve had the pleasure of watching the school community respond generously to four capital campaigns, raising $60 million. That generosity has made an incredible difference. Without these campaigns, we simply wouldn’t have the wonderful school we know today. My thanks to everyone in the extended Wilmington Friends family for such inspiring thoughtfulness and commitment.” -- David Singleton, Former Board Chair
Quaker at the Center *** QUEST Center & Meeting Room The vision for the Future of Friends campaign focused on the School’s timeless mission and values, aligned for the demands and opportunities of the 21st century. One of the first renovations was to re-locate the middle/upper school Meeting Room to the center of the building and to construct a new, adjacent conference room/classroom to serve as a center for mission-based programs. QUEST – the Quaker Center for Understanding, Engagement, and Stewardship – provides not only a physical base but also an administrative structure for the School’s programs in global education, diversity, service learning, and environmental stewardship.
QUEST Term Endowment Fund The campaign raised $350,000 from donors to support student participation, through financial aid, in mission-based trips and conferences. The E. E. Ford Foundation, which recognized QUEST as a national “project of interest,” awarded a $50,000 matching grant to be used for operational costs, such as QUEST Term trip chaperone expenses and professional development to support innovative programs in service learning and global education.

Making Room *** The goal in constructing the Global Learning Center (GLC) was not just to add classrooms, but to catalyze the transformation of the middle/upper school campus. The GLC will make it possible to renovate three areas of the main building to advance global education and the progressive integration of technology in support of the curriculum.
Global Learning Center The GLC, due to be completed in early summer, will include five classrooms, four for upper school world languages and one for history/social science. The GLC is a “net zero” project, adding about 6,000 square feet of building space without adding to the carbon footprint of the campus – thanks to 12 geothermal wells, 145 solar panels, and other design features and materials that improve insulation and water conservation. The landscaping around the GLC will add new outdoor gathering (and optional teaching) space as well. Special thanks to the Class of 1983, led by Meg Gehret Erskine, for a $100,000 30th Reunion gift to fund a GLC classroom.
The Third Floor With the relocation of upper school language classes to the GLC, the third floor of the building will be renovated to serve all middle school language classes and to house a new middle school FLEX Lab. The Lab will be tech-integrated, with a design to maximize light, and will include two “ice cube” work spaces (with glass walls toward the center of the Lab) for quiet study and small group collaboration. Moving middle school Chinese classes to the third floor will also make room for a new middle school Design Lab/Makerspace near the first-floor lobby.

The Upper School Design Lab The relocation of a history/social science classroom to the GLC will allow the construction of a new upper school Design Lab – outfitted with a 3D printer, drill press, band saw, and more – adjacent to the physics classroom. The Lab will be home to the Robotics team and the new upper school elective in Robotics/Computer Science, and will serve other physical science classes and independent studies. Special thanks to Ira T. Ellis ’52 for his $250,000 gift to fund the Design Lab.
The Library The final complementary renovations to the GLC construction will transform our library into a tech-integrated, multifunctional learning center. There will be areas for both collaboration and quiet study, including “ice cube” work spaces and a renovated mezzanine. The reconfigured library will improve access to classrooms and better support opportunities for online teaching and learning.

Inspirational Spaces ***
The necessity of building a new theater and gym created an opportunity to transform both those facilities and their connection to the Meeting Room hallway and the Snyder Athletic Center. The project was planned to enhance and inspire teaching and learning through practical and responsible design, and earned LEED Gold certification. LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a green building program that recognizes “best-in-class building strategies and practices.”
Friends Theater The new Friends Theater seats 500 at capacity, with the option of moving seats in the side boxes and front rows for a pit band or additional performance space. The design, which includes a balcony and back-orchestra tier, brings the audience closer to the performance, supported by professional-grade acoustics. Three catwalks provide new options for lighting, and a rigging system with 18 fly rails dramatically expands set possibilities. Backstage features new dressing rooms – including The Woodacre Room, dedicated in memory of parent of alumnus Ernest Woodacre – a new scene shop, and a bridge connecting the Theater to the band room so that large instruments can be moved easily.
The Violet Lobby Thanks to a gift from Raymond Osbun ’71, the Theater lobby was updated with skylights, new flooring, paneling and doors to match the Theater, and with new upper wall coverings where art and past performance programs can be displayed. The Violet Lobby was dedicated to longtime Friends performing arts teacher and community leader Violet Richman.
The Groo Nook Named in memory of Jane Rayner Groo ’40, “The Nook,” on the upper level of the Atrium, has quickly become a signature campus space and a favorite place for School meetings. With its glass front wall, it offers an inspiring view, with the option of a flat screen on the adjacent wall for viewing presentations.

Neff Gym Named for Bill Neff – who served on the faculty, as a coach, and in the administration at Friends for more than 40 years – the new gym has improved lighting, waterproofing, ventilation, access, seating, and support facilities. The gym includes a plaque honoring the late C. David Shepherd ’58, past trustee and parent of alumni, another dedicated fan of Quaker sports.
The Atrium Connecting the theater/gym wing to the Athletic Center, the new three-story, glass-front Atrium transforms the Alapocas Drive entrance to the School, while showcasing the beloved “arches” and Ryan’s Deck, a memorial to Ryan Alpine ’91. With bright and efficient lighting, a green roof over the arches, and the Future of Friends donor wall, the Atrium celebrates stewardship and connects the School’s past and present.
The Java Nook Inspired in name by the Groo Nook, and furnished thanks to a gift from the Class of 2014, the Java Nook on the middle level of the Atrium is a new open gathering place. With a morning coffee shop and relaxed seating, the Java Nook is especially beloved by students and a great setting for receptions.
The Outside Game ***
In addition to the Neff Gym, the Future of Friends campaign funded important renovations to the tennis courts and baseball field and included two signature projects in athletics.
Mellor Field Dedicated in memory of Christopher C. Mellor, father of three Friends graduates in a family whose passions include sports, especially lacrosse, the new turf field and competitive-quality track represent a great resource for Friends athletic teams. The turf provides a quality surface – for teams and for the lower school physical education program – on a field where, unlike most areas on campus, the soil does not naturally support grass. It also gives student-athletes an opportunity to prepare for competition on turf, notably in state tournaments and in college, and allows the Friends track teams to practice and host competitions on campus. Thanks to the family and friends of Chris Mellor – especially to Debbie Mellor – for leading the effort to fund the new field and track.
Tattersall Field A campaign within the campaign, The T Fund, in honor of Coach Bob “T” Tattersall and chaired by Andy Aerenson ’81, supported renovations to the football/girls’ soccer field and also established an endowment fund at Friends to support financial aid. The renovations included a new coach/press box, bleachers, goalposts, and scoreboard.

years ahead of schedule for completion of campaign
Art & Music ***
A coordinated shifting of and renovations to art and music classrooms was among the first projects supported by the Future of Friends campaign. Special thanks to the donors who funded these essential, early renovations.
Visual Arts Moving the middle/upper school Meeting Room to its central location in the building opened an expansive space with natural lighting for upper school art. It’s really three rooms, with 2D and 3D studios and a specially designed kiln room. The visual arts project also funded a redesign of the middle school art room, especially to support digital projects.
Choir, Band & Music Moving upper school art opened a first-floor area for a new choir room, including individual practice rooms and improved storage. The old choir room was renovated to serve the band programs, previously housed on the lower level near the cafeteria. The band room is now larger, also has improved storage, and is connected by an indoor bridge to the Theater so that large instruments can be moved easily. Both the choir and band rooms now have additional sound-proofing. The old band room became a new classroom for the performing arts.

million dollars raised for endowment
HVAC & Friends ***
In addition to new signature facilities, the Future of Friends campaign funded capital and operational improvements that may be harder to notice but will be recognized by any homeowner as major projects. They included: HVAC systems, new roofs and windows, sprinkler upgrades, new floors and carpeting, new cabinetry and lighting, switchgear and boiler projects, and – perhaps not as familiar to homeowners – a new rubber playground surface. Thanks to all who contributed to our capital projects, both center stage and behind the scenes.
Sustaining the Future *** Annual Fund
The Future of Friends campaign included almost $6 million in gifts and pledges to the Annual Fund, an essential supplement to tuition in funding school operations. From classroom materials to athletic uniforms, from professional development for teachers to new technology, the Annual Fund enhances the quality of every student’s education. Special thanks to our leadership donors, the hosts of our Annual Fund gatherings and volunteers on our development committees, and our faculty and staff, who consistently have a 100% participation rate in giving to the School.
Endowment Building the endowment is, simply, the key to a sustainable future. As tuitions rise to support a continually advancing program led by a top-quality faculty, the founding commitment of Friends School to serve students regardless of their families’ financial means becomes ever more important. Endowment helps us to offer competitive faculty salaries and enough tuition aid to ensure that Friends is true to both its heritage and its future. Thank you to all who contributed toward the $8.4 million raised for endowment in the Future of Friends campaign, with special thanks to Tim ’62 and Mona Bayard for their leadership gift.

With Gratitude *** Dear Friends, It is a privilege for me to join in thanking the School community for your tremendous support of the Future of Friends campaign. When I was first learning about Wilmington Friends, one of the distinguishing attractions was the way people talked about the School – current parents, alumni, trustees, and faculty and staff. It became clear very quickly how deeply this place is valued, both personally and with a sense of its importance as a leader in education and in the community. “Friends School stands for something,” my predecessor, Bryan Garman, said. “It is a force for good in the world,” an alumna told me. The success of the campaign is testimony to the depth of that affection and sense of value; those who know the School best prioritize caring for it and investing in its future. Thanks to your trust, we have momentum in building endowment to support faculty and families; and we have new opportunities to advance learning – to grow interdisciplinary and collaborative programs; to expand the integration of technology and design in our curriculum; to inspire students in the arts and athletics; and to deepen the expression of our Quaker values through student leadership, service learning, and global education. I came to Wilmington with a sense of excitement because of Friends School’s history and mission. Thanks to all of you who care for the School, that excitement is now about the future. Again, the word that comes to mind is “privilege”; it is a true privilege to be a part of this community and to look forward with you to fulfilling the promise of the Future of Friends campaign in the years ahead. With gratitude,
Ken Aldridge Head of School as of July 1, 2015
