From the desk of our Dear Friend,
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
It is with great pride and pleasure I present this annual report for your review. Sure, our team can point to any number of successes as to why we would feel delighted to share our year with you; by nearly every measure, it has been a fruitful year. And while we are thinking about numbers and dollars and metrics all the time, we work hard to remember that what we are really doing—when you dial in and take away processes and procedures—is working to enhance the well-being and flourishing of all whom we touch. The Wesleyan edict to “do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you ever can” may not be hung on all our walls, but it is our ethos. I hope when you read numbers, you understand that truly, we are about celebrating our heritage and changing as many lives for the good as we can. With gratitude, of this be so.

Nearly one in five children have dyslexia. Since 1980, the Settlement has been
offering tutoring programs for children with dyslexia. These tutoring programs include an After-School Tutoring Program, a Summer Tutoring Program, and the Reading Lab Partnership—a collaborative effort with Knott County Public Schools, now in its eighth year. In addition, we provide dyslexia information, training, and support to the parents, tutors, and teachers of children who learn differently.
A Zeal for Reading
READING LAB PARTNERSHIP
During the 2016-17 school year, the Reading Lab Partnership, a collaborative effort with the local school district to serve students with dyslexia and other reading-based learning differences, expanded to a fourth school. Students in grades K-3 with dyslexia indicators at Beaver Creek, Carr Creek, Hindman, and, now, Emmalena elementary schools receive specialized instruction from teachers and specially trained intervention aides. Staff work both one-on-one and with groups of students to help them master letter identification, word identification, word attack, phonemic awareness, and passage comprehension skills.

“Since attending the Summer Tutoring Program, we have noticed multiple positive changes with Molly. She now has gained tremendous confidence and self-esteem. Her personality is shining through and we can see the potential she has. Before Hindman, it was a struggle to get the girl to devote any amount of time to reading. Now she reads everything in the house and is excited about learning. I am extremely thankful for the program and the great things it has done to help my child. I feel this was the best decision we could have made to help her.”
-Valerie MOLLY’S MOTHER
SUMMER TUTORING PROGRAM
The goal of the Summer Tutoring Program, fondly known as “summer school,” is to equip students with the academic skills they need to succeed in public schools. The intensive five-week program consists of individualized reading instruction, small group math tutoring, and writing activities. Spelling, grammar, and direct vocabulary instruction are all incorporated into the reading instruction. The program operates five days a week, seven hours a day, for five weeks.

Kison
Each summer our staff presents the Mike Mullins Outstanding Student Award to a student in our dyslexia summer tutoring program who exhibited proficiency and skill in a variety of areas including reading achievement, reading comprehension, math, and auditory learning. Kison came to summer school ready to learn as much as possible. He made the most of his time in reading by absorbing skills like a sponge and applying them to his work. His tutors noted his eagerness to “jump right in,� and demonstrate his knowledge of the different concepts learned. In reading, Kison mastered all sounds and memorized all rules introduced to him to become a more fluent reader. In math, Kison mastered the correct number formation, place value, addition/subtraction of one or more digits, multiplication, division, some fractions, pre-algebra skills and some problem solving. He completed five diagnostics successfully. More than 93% of students receive scholarship assistance to attend our Summer Tutoring Program. Help children like Kison overcome barriers to succeed and support the Dyslexia Summer Tutoring Program Scholarship Fund today!

EARLY INTERVENTION Kindergarten Screening Expansion In an effort to expand our services and reach children before they experience reading failure, the Settlement’s dyslexia program staff began screening for dyslexia characteristics in incoming kindergarten children at a portion of our local school system’s elementary schools during the 2015-16 school year and launched a pilot early intervention program. Positive feedback and improved scores among pilot program students led to Settlement staff expanding the Kindergarten screening to the entire district during the 2016-17 school year. These screenings enable staff to make referrals for intervention in order to reduce the likelihood of students falling behind reading benchmarks. The kindergarten screenings and early intervention program was funded, in part, through grants from Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky, the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, and generous private support from donors, foundation, and DAR chapters.
EVALUATION SERVICES
In order to determine whether our programs will benefit a child, the child and their parent or guardian must participate in an evaluation process. Evaluations are held each month and are led by Settlement staff and other trained professionals. This year we evaluated 63 children, 29 of whom enrolled in the After-School or Summer Tutoring Program.
PARENT & TEACHER TRAININGS
The Settlement conducted two training workshops for parents, teachers, and tutors this past year. A total of 134 individuals were trained in our evidence-based curriculum using our proven strategies.

Hindman Settlement School makes meeting and lodging facilities available to community organizations and private groups for meetings, conferences, and retreats. Nominal fees are charged in order to recover costs. During the past fiscal year, we hosted 285 groups and events involving 5,007 people. The majority of these events took place on our historic campus, but a few, such as our annual Hindman Day at the Races, took place at offsite locations.
Looking for a warm, inviting, and culturally rich place to host your next event or meeting? Look no further than the Settlement! Contact our office to discuss meeting, lodging, and dining options.
Meeting the changing needs of the local community has been an integral part
of the Settlement’s commitment to the region since our founding. The Appalachian Scholars’ Program began in 2016 to reach potentially at-risk students and engage them in interactive experiences designed to promote positive behaviors, increase successful academic performance, and acquire the skills necessary to be a productive member of a 21st-century workforce.
The HSS Way
SCHOOL-BASED OUTREACH PROGRAM
The school-based component of the Appalachian Scholars’ Program focuses on identifying and engaging middle and high school students who are at risk of graduating without the skills necessary to transition to work. As a result of hands-on experiences and group mentoring, students will be equipped with the tools and opportunities needed to avoid risky behaviors and develop a vision and viable career plan for the future.
412 STUDENTS -
During the 2016-17 school year, Settlement staff delivered the curriculum to more than 400 students at eight schools across three southeastern Kentucky school districts. Each peer group met a minimum of 20 times and participated in a culminating service learning project that was planned among their peers. Projects included beautification efforts, visiting nursing home residents, conducting food drives, and raising funds for local charities.

Through the Appalachian Scholars’ Program, we aim to instill in students the core values of the Settlement School, what we call “The HSS Way”: Place, Service, Relationships, Excellence, Grit, and Virtue. We want to teach students to love this place, to love serving others, to build meaningful, lasting relationships, and to strive for excellence and perseverance in all spheres of life. We believe that these values have the power to help Appalachian students achieve the goals they have for themselves, whether that is to graduate college or to have a successful career. We also believe these values have the power to enable them to live the fulfilling and thriving life that they seek to live.
Keeping people mindful of their heritage has always been a significant component of Hindman Settlement School’s educational philosophy. We’re proud of our strong and colorful history. As a result, we develop and maintain cultural heritage and folk arts programs focused on honoring and passing along these traditions. These well-known programs promote education and story sharing, allow us to share the history of central Appalachia in vibrant and unique ways.
FOLK ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAM
The Folk Arts Education Program provides opportunities for lifelong learning and preservation of cultural heritage by providing a culturally relevant arts and humanities curriculum for local elementary schools and outreach programs to the broader community. The Settlement’s Folk Arts Education Director, working in tandem with classroom teachers, provides weekly classroom enrichment experiences for students. Using interactive and reflective approaches, students parSTUDENTS ticipate in visual art, storytelling, music, and dance activities.

WITH GRATITUDE “I came to Hindman an outsider and I was welcomed. I came to Hindman needing help finding my voice and my teachers and fellow students listened and encouraged me. I came to Hindman having never really felt a part of any artistic community and I fell in love with this family of fiercely disciplined artists, activists, storytellers, free-thinkers, and defenders of the most vulnerable among us.”

James Beard Foundation Award semifinalist Ouita Michel served as Chef-In-Residence for the event.
A Love of Place
APPALACHIAN FAMILY FOLK WEEK
Fifty-five children and adults, from places both near and far, participated in the 40th annual Appalachian Family Folk Week. A staff of 17 talented artists and musicians led families in a week of traditional Appalachian music, dance, crafts, storytelling, instrument playing, and special children’s activities. More than a hundred community members joined us on campus for nightly concerts and square dances. The goal of this annual event is to promote awareness of the region’s rich cultural heritage and to pass along traditional skills to younger generations. To get on the mailing list for this event, please send us your name and address by email to Info@HindmanSettlement.org.
“Appalachian Family Folk Week has been a wonderful blessing to me and my grandchildren. We have all enjoyed making family with wonderful people from different areas, but with the same love for the people, traditions, songs, stories, instruments, and crafts of the mountains. To pass these loves to my grandchildren is not only a blessing, but helps them idenitfy with and know who they are. It has shown them where their ancestors are from, how they lived, and the the things they enjoyed.”

Championing local foods and addressing food insecurity is at the core of the
Settlement’s emerging foodways programs. The local foods movement brings a multitude of opportunities for producers, food crafters, and entrepreneurs, and Hindman Settlement School is devoted to supporting our local food system through our Grow Appalachia program along with new initatives, including the Knott County Farmers Market, The Community Cannery, and The Farm at Hindman Settlement School.
A Fruitful Year
GROW APPALACHIA PROGRAM
Grow Appalachia, a partnership with Berea College, seeks to solve persistent food security issues in the Appalachian region by restoring the historic relationship between people and land. Grow Appalachia’s central mission is to help as many people grow as much food as possible using organic methods and to encourage more growth of food for local markets. Knott County Grow Appalachia participants have access to physical and technical assistance with garden planning, educational workshops on food preservation and healthy living, and resources such as seeds, plants, organic pesticides, and quality hand tools. In 2017, we were able to serve twelve additional families over the prior year due to financial support from donors like you!

“Being able to walk out in my backyard to pick vegetables straight from the vine and gather fresh eggs from our small flock has been a wonderfully rewarding experience. The staff at Hindman Settlement School was a tremendous asset as we developed a plan for our garden and chickens, provided basic tools and a selection of heirloom seeds, and assisted with the initial tilling and preparation. Next year we plan to grow even more so we can offer items for sale at the local farmers market!”

The story is told of Uncle Solomon Everidge walking barefoot from Hindman to Hazard in 1899 to ask the Settlement School’s founders to establish a school in Hindman for his “grands and greats.” His vision has left a legacy for future generations. You can leave a legacy, too. You may choose to leave a bequest in the form of cash, property, or a percentage of the remainder of your estate. The bequest can be designated to fund a particular program, provide a scholarship, or support the greatest needs of our campus. To discuss legacy giving or to inform us that you have included the Settlement in your will, contact the Office of Advancement.
MEMORIALS & HONORARIUMS Making a gift to Hindman Settlement School is a generous and thoughtful way to recognize a person’s life and accomplishments while helping promote the Settlement’s mission.
