A note from our Dear Friend,
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Some of my favorite memories are in my grandmother’s kitchen when she and my aunts and cousins would be busily preparing Sunday supper, or when everyone was gone and Mamaw would let my siblings and I try our hands at cooking something. She always thought it was just the best. I never knew days when I had to miss a meal, or when a meal was simply just fuel to get by, but I know many of our friends and neighbors know those days as a way of life. The strong food foundation I received is one that motivated me to look at ways the Settlement School could continue to meet the changing needs of our community, a hallmark of our work since 1902. In the last year, our foodways program has catapulted into an area of incredible interest and great service. In order for our community to thrive, it must be well nourished. And that includes more than what’s on the dinner table, too—in our education, our shared resources, our cultural goods—the whole of it works together for the greater good of all of us. Hindman Settlement School continues to serve Knott County, central Appalachia, and this nation with great excitement and commitment. The 2018 Annual Report is one way for us to share with you our successes and outreach, and well as numerous opportunities for your input.

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 a Reading Lab Partnership—a collaborative effort with Knott County Public Schools, now in its ninth year. In addition, we provide dyslexia information, training, and support to the parents, tutors, and teachers of children who learn differently.
Newfound Confidence
READING LAB PARTNERSHIP
During the 2017-18 academic year, Hindman Settlement School continued to partner with the local school district to conduct a reading intervention program in four elementary schools – Beaver Creek, Carr Creek, Emmalena, and Hindman. Settlement interventionists, along with staff from each school, provide specialized instruction to students with dyslexia indicators in grades K-3. Teachers and specially trained instructional assistants 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.

“Christian, a first grader in our Carr Creek Reading Lab, came to the program as a nonreader, only recognizing a few alphabet letters and sounds. Initially, he was very timid and wouldn’t make eye contact or even speak. After several months of daily tutoring, he began to open up and became the first in his group to ask to read his book aloud. He didn’t want to stop! At the end of the year, Christian was reading above grade level and could recognize all sight words from Kindergarten through third grade. Every day Christian asks, with a smile on his face, if he gets to go to reading group!”

AFTER-SCHOOL TUTORING PROGRAM
The After-School Tutoring Program is offered on our historic campus in Hindman and in three other locations throughout eastern Kentucky (Floyd, Laurel, and Pike Counties). Students meet with tutors for 2.5 hours after school, one evening each week for 15 weeks in the fall and spring semesters. The program is operated by parent volunteers who are trained by Settlement staff to deliver our evidence-based curriculum.

SUMMER TUTORING PROGRAM
The goal of the Summer Tutoring Program 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.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT:
Gavin
Gavin is a very passionate young man who came to the Summer Tutoring Program yearning for instruction. He was always eager and willing to learn new material and worked diligently to master the new concepts. In reading, Gavin completed all of level 5: prefixes and suffixes, totaling 10 intensive lessons. His growth includes gaining confidence, becoming a better listener, reading more fluently, and applying rules and concepts which he has learned during the program to improve his spelling. In total, he gained 2 years and 1 month of reading ability. Gavin’s accomplishments in math were tremendous. He mastered numerous concepts including alegbraic equations, integers, and using geometry to solve complex word problems. His tutors noted that he always persisted until he found the correct answer, usually solving the problems mentally. In total, Gavin had grade level gains of 4 years and 5 months. More than 90% of students receive scholarship assistance to attend our Summer Tutoring Program.

PROGRAM EXPANSION Emmalena Elementary Reading Lab The 2017-18 academic year was the first full program year for our newest Reading Lab at Emmalena Elementary, which was opened in this location based on significant need identified during student screening. Twenty-seven students in Kindergarten through 5th grade received daily instruction in reading. The average grade level gain in reading was 9 months.
Kindergarten Screening Program In order to reach children before reading failure occurs, Settlement interventionists screen all Kindergarten students in the local school system. During 2017-18, 187 Kindergarteners were evaluated in order to make referrals and reduce the likelihood of students missing reading benchmarks. To support the continued expansion of the Reading Lab Partnership and other dyslexia program initatives, you can make a donation online at HindmanSettlement.org or mail a gift to PO Box 844, Hindman, KY 41822.
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 74 children, 36 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 127 individuals were trained in our evidence-based curriculum using proven strategies.
VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT:
Genesee Chapter DAR Last summer, members of the Genesee Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution from Flint, Michigan traveled to Hindman to brighten the day of students in our Summer Tutoring Program. Daughters planned a fun evening of ice cream sundaes with a host of tasty toppings and floats made from Vernor’s Ginger Ale, a traditional Michigan soft drink, for students to enjoy after an intensive day of reading, writing, and math. In addition to ice cream, Daughters delivered a trunkload of supplies for students which was collected by members from our wish list. Thank you Genesee Chapter for your generosity and for the time spent on campus with our students! We welcome volunteers, both individuals and groups, to visit campus and volunteer with our students, on the farm, or in the archives. To discuss opportunities, contact the Office of Advancement. Visit HindmanSettlement.org to view our wish list of items to support our educational programs and administrative needs!
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.

FINDING FAMILY “From workshops to readings and presentations to individual conversations with other writers, Hindman provided the space, time, and resources that have been critical to my growth as a writer. As a public school teacher and mother, I could not have done this without the support of the Nikki Giovanni Scholarship. I left Kentucky with a renewed commitment and new tools to work toward my writing goals. Most importantly, I grew my writing family and have found a new home for support and encouragement.”

ON-CAMPUS LITERARY EXPERIENCES
As the seedbed for the Appalachian literary tradition, Hindman Settlement is in a unique position to broaden its reach across the region and nation, welcoming more writers and readers of all identities to benefit from the century-long inheritance of place-based literature.
Appalachian Writers’ Workshop
Writers’ Retreats
The Jim Wayne Miller/James Still Keynote Address was presented by author and activist Nikki Giovanni following a locally-sourced feast prepared in her honor by chef Lawrence Weeks. The week also featured a celebration of the life of James Still through a special presentation from Carol Boggess, author of James Still: A Life,
These retreats were facilitated by Pauletta Hansel, Crystal Wilkinson, and Rebecca Gayle Howell.
Eighty-two participants completed the Writers’ Workshop this year. Our staff of 15 covered a range of genres, including poetry, novel, short story, and creative nonfiction.
This year we hosted two three-day writers’ retreats in the fall and spring on our serene, historic campus. A total of 35 individuals participated.
THE MAKERY: AN ONLINE WRITING STUDIO
Hindman Settlement School launched The Makery, an online writing studio designed to broaden literary craft and deepen relationship to place. Four-week courses are offered by notable faculty in the genres of fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, and special topics. For the inaugural workshop catalog for spring 2018, 54 authors participated in 15 immersive sessions.
DUMPLIN’S & DANCIN’: AN APPALACHIAN FOOD & DANCE WEEKEND
The third annual Dumplin’s & Dancin’ event was held during the first of December 2017. Eighty-five farmers, musicians, chefs, seed savers, dancers, food activists, and others committed to the preservation of Appalachia’s foodways and dance traditions converged on our historic campus to take part in a series of workshops on both food and dance. James Beard Foundation Award semifinalist Ouita Michel and chef Kristin Smith served as Chefs-In-Residence for the event.
Honoring Giovanni In 2018 we were pleased to introduce the Nikki Giovanni Scholarship program. These scholarships award emerging writers-of-color a trip to the Writers’ Workshop, ensuring that our investment in the future of Appalachian letters is as diverse as the tradition itself. This scholarship program is named for our 2018 Jim Wayne Miller/James Still Keynote, Nikki Giovanni. Ms. Giovanni is world-renowned as a poet and leader in the Black Arts Movement, but she has never forgotten her homeplace or her people. On every page of every book, Ms. Giovanni writes Appalachia as the great source of love and truth in her life.
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.
Growing Garden
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 2018, we were able to serve twelve additional families over the prior year due to financial support from donors like you!

ARTOS Bread Co. Corey’s journey into making sourdough bread began a little over two years ago when he and his wife Liz were trying to find a hobby to pursue together. Despite their inexperience, they tried baking. The first loaves were tasty, but were far from being aesthetically pleasing. Creating the perfect loaf became a passion to Corey. Corey kept baking and sharing his creations with family and friends. Through the encouragement of friends and co-workers, Corey began selling bread at the local Farmer’s Market. Through the use of the Kentucky Colonels Community Cannery at the Hindman Settlement School, Corey was able to easily take his personal-scale bread baking hobby and turn it into a small scale business, ARTOS Bread Co. Each week Corey bakes 20-30 loaves of long-fermented, naturally leavened, artisan sourdough bread that he sells to the community at the Knott County Farmer’s Market. “I have been blown away by the response that I have received from customers and it has been a great blessing to be able to provide delicious, fresh-baked sourdough bread to the community; the extra side income is nice, too,” Corey shared.
Building for the next century and beyond is the goal of Hindman Settlement
School’s $2.5 million Cornerstone Capital Campaign. To date, generous donors have pledged more than $1.6 million. These vital funds are enabling the institution to upgrade facilities so they match the quality of programming and allow the Settlement to continue to be a place that celebrates heritage and changes lives.

Construction is nearly complete! Follow along with us @HindmanSchool on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram or visit www.HindmanSettlement.org/Cornerstone.
Partner With Us! While construction is complete, our funding needs for these renovation is still underway. It is vital that the Settlement close the gap between dollars raised and the total project cost to ensure that facility costs do not hinder our efforts to expand programs and respond to changing community needs. There are numerous ways to support the Cornerstone Campaign and invest in the work at the Settlement. Contact Josh Mullins, Director of Advancement to discuss three-year pledges, one-time gifts, naming opportunities, or gifts of stock.
RIBBON CUTTING & GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION
August 5th doubled as a birthday party and a ribbon-cutting event for Hindman Settlement School. On that date 116 years ago the school opened its doors to bring progressive education to the region and, in 2018, the newly constructed May Stone Gathering Place and freshly renovated Mike Mullins Cultural Heritage Center opened their doors to the community as part of a special grand opening celebration.
L-R: Mildred Mullins, Nathan Mullins, Frieda Mullins, Dr. Brent Hutchinson, Dr. Sherry Powers, and Michael Sloane, II cut the ribbon during the grand opening celebration.
