A MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL For the past two years, one of our school-wide goals has been to grow the culture of philanthropy here at Miami Country Day School. This goal grew out of a feasibility study conducted in anticipation of the school’s 75th anniversary. No doubt, when L.B. Sommers and C.W. “Doc” Abele opened the Miami Country Day School for Boys in 1938, they never imagined that their little school, with an initial enrollment of nine boys, would be what it is today. No one factor can account for the school’s tremendous success, but one thing is certain: the Country Day our students enjoy today is in large part due to a philanthropic spirit developed over the years. Through this annual report, we would like to acknowledge those who continue this philanthropic tradition. We thank each and every one of you from the companies and individuals who lent support to our most pressing capital needs to the young graduates who made their first donation as an expression of gratitude for the wonderful memories and great education they experienced at Country Day. I hope

you will enjoy the messages from some of our Board of Trustees, as well as the donor and volunteer recognition lists in the later pages. It is also important to note that our Annual Giving Campaign in particular has allowed us to continue to attract some of the nation’s best faculty and staff, while offering students the finest academic programs, a secure and attractive campus, and a diverse and enriching community of peers. As we advance with our 75th anniversary celebrations, I hope I have the opportunity to personally thank all of you who have contributed to our school community in so many ways over the years. Your continued support is essential for our school to sustain its mission of educating the whole child as we seek to serve every student, every day. With heartfelt gratitude,

Dr. John Davies, Head of School


We are a college preparatory learning community committed to educating the whole child.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES Anne Paulk Much like the members of 21 Hearts, 1 Beat – Miami Country Day’s awardwinning Contemporary Music Ensemble – each playing his or her part while striving for a harmonious production, our faculty, administrators and staff, volunteers, alumni, parents, grandparents, Dr. John Davies, and the Board of Trustees all worked in concert with one another to put on another wonderful year for our students. Of particular note this year was the completion of our Strategic Plan. Under the relentless leadership of Matthew Lazenby, Chair of Financial Sustainability (Sub-Committee of the Board of Trustees), this document was crafted with the input of 96 members of the Miami Country Day community, through the work of several focus groups, and with the overall vision of the school in mind. The strategic planning process identified six school-wide goals: (1) continue to

enhance our Arts Program through the building of a Center for the Arts, (2) move forward with the previously approved Campus Master Plan, (3) continue the average faculty salary gradient of 5% per year, (4) continue to improve the faculty professional development budget to reach the Independent School Management (ISM) benchmark of 1.5% of the operations budget, (5) continue to repay internal borrowing, including the amount borrowed against Board-designated endowment for the construction of the Franco Center and 107th Street, and (6) begin to fund depreciation of the school’s property and buildings through a PPRRSM reserve account. These six goals are by all means challenging, but not impossible. I am confident that our community is steadfast to meet these goals together, and provide an even richer educational experience for future generations of Spartans. Today, I thank you for your continued support of Country Day, and I look forward to working with each and every one of you to make the school an even better place tomorrow.

BUILDING & GROUNDS Bud Farrey, Building & Grounds Committee Chair

This year was full of activity for the Building & Grounds Committee, which oversaw several improvement projects as well as the rezoning process necessary to implement the school’s approved Campus Master Plan. The first floor of the Fisher Building, the original Upper School Building, was enhanced by a renovation project, which included the conversion of two rooms

into large, open lab spaces to house our 6th grade STEM program. Building 17, housing the Middle School office and other administrative offices, also received a makeover with all new windows, carpeting, cabinetry, and more. Our gym, outdoor corridors, and other spaces on campus are now brighter and better with the installation of energy-efficient LED lights thanks to the generosity of Roger Koch, an alumni parent. We also saw the creation of a new athletic training room directly off of the gym that allows us to better serve our student athletes. Finally, even the parking experience was improved through the creation of a new Parent & Special Event Parking zone in the North Parking Lot. Thank you to Chief Operating Officer Gary Butts, Facilities Director Mike Caban, the Facilities & Maintenance Department, Zyscovich Architects, the vendors, contractors, and capital giving benefactors without whom none of these changes would have been possible.

DEVELOPMENT

Sean Clancy, Development Committee Chair

There were many significant outcomes from the development program during the 2012–13 school year, and one of the most important was the completion of a development office assessment and feasibility study conducted by Marts & Lundy. Out of that assessment came a number of recommendations that we acted on and a strategic plan that continues to drive the development program. Dr. Davies established a school-wide goal of furthering our Culture of Philanthropy as a follow up to Marts & Lundy’s internal assessment. I believe the successful fundraising results from the year confirm that awareness of this important goal is being realized. The Annual Giving goal of $600,000 was exceeded by $227,567 being donated by trustees, parents, grandparents, alumni, alumni parents, faculty, and staff. Please join me in recognizing our faculty and staff who reached 100% participation again this year. In February, our community had record participation raising $83,200 for Faculty Endowment by supporting Benefit 2013, the Spartan Bowl, which included golf

21 Hearts, 1 Beat

ulfor cca F Rebe

The Contemporary Music Ensemble (CME) of Miami Country Day School continues to excel during the 2013-2014 school year. Also known as 21 Hearts, 1 Beat, the CME has performed in various venues throughout the state. These included the Tampa Convention Center for the Florida Music Educators Conference, the Vero Beach Hibiscus Festival, ProPlayer Stadium for the Dan Marino Walk for Autism, and the American Airlines Arena for the Estefans’ Thanksgiving Feed a Friend event. Under the direction of John Wicker, the ensemble consists primarily of upper school students who are given the opportunity to select the music and set lists. Playing music from a variety of genres, the CME has used non-traditional pop band instruments, such as the accordion and the ukulele. For Mr. Wicker, the key to creating a unique connection with students is to care about them as individuals, to listen to their stories, and to encourage their musical growth.

MORE HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2012-2013 Row 1: For the first time in the history of MCDS, the Girls Varsity Basketball Team made it to the State Finals. Coach Ochiel Swaby and the Lady Spartans had a 27-2 record in 2012–2013. They were the runner-up to Father Lopez School in Class 3A, but are ready for a rematch in 2013–2014.

Row 2: Chess is alive and thriving at MCDS. Our students hosted several chess tournaments, including the Epicure Grand Prix, sponsored by Epicure Gourmet Market & Café, which brought close to 300 people to the campus and is the most highly attended chess tournament series in Florida. The MCDS Upper School Chess Team is currently ranked 7th in the state.

Row 3: MCDS hosted close to 600 faculty and staff from Cushman, Doctors Charter, Barry University, Horace Mann Middle School, Miami Edison High School, and other local schools for a professional development day as part of the Community Learning Partnership (CLP).
