Dear Friends, With educational accountability such a political dilemma, it is increasingly clear to me that the single-most important and transformative element of an AFS education is the culture we create for children and teachers alike.

At the close of our recent 10-year accreditation process, the 16-member visiting team lifted up the vitality of our culture of learning, exploration and growth as most visible to them. Paul Lacey, professor emeritus at Earlham College and leading voice on Quaker education, often remarks that it is the ethos of Friends schools, how we interact and learn together each day that creates the unique strengths of Friends school students. At AFS we very intentionally create an environment of engagement, leadership, initiative, passions pursued and appreciation and respect for each other to encourage the development of uniquely strong kids.

As head of school, I find myself paying attention to three essential layers of our school culture.

First is our culture of learning. Do we have a passion for learning, for coming to know ourselves and the world in new ways, for the discourse of the academic disciplines and the way each illuminates our lives in distinct ways? Do we put ourselves in the way of transformative experience? Do we lean into complexity and challenging problems? Are we honing our skills for inquiry, challenging our own assumptions, refining our ideas? Are we curious and alive to opportunities for new knowledge and skill? My daily experience is that we are and that this learning culture is a creative and self-sustaining force for teachers and students alike, continually drawing us into new territory, questions and growth.

The second layer I pay attention to is our culture for spirit and nurture of inner life. Do we create time for reflection, for paying attention to the quieter voices, for listening for that which is below the surface, for gaining perspective? Are we cultivating humility, openness, reverence? Are we learning to tame the distractions and anxieties in our lives in order to be fully present to the work that we are doing? Are we a community of deep roots and rich connections? Are we open to being changed by what we learn from each other and from reflection? Earl Ball, chair of our accreditation visiting team and long-time leader in Quaker education, was struck by the depth of the spiritual community of our school, by the openness with which we talk about and nurture inner life. The spiritual dimension of our school provides an essential set of roots and values to ground our busy and ambitious daily lives.

The final layer I focus on is our culture of commitment, care and participation as a community.

Abington Friends School is created each year, each day by the contributions of teachers, students, parents, staff, School Committee, alumni and Meeting members. We are the collective strength of all those who share their ideas, talents, hard work and resources to create an extraordinary learning environment for this generation of children growing up in a world of enormous challenge, complexity and promise. Our Annual Report on Gifts reflects the broad and committed support of so many who love this school and are committed to our mission and spirited work. I am truly grateful for all who strengthen, encourage and sustain this community with their support.

Dear Friends, While there is no doubt that we are living in challenging philanthropic times, our Annual Report of Gifts suggests that our community is strong and resilient. We set a new record for our Annual Fund and were one of the very few schools in our region that actually surpassed its Annual Fund goal. Additionally, we received some strong gifts toward our $4M goal for our Campaign, Vision in Action. My hope is that we can close out the Campaign long before the three year completion date of June 30, 2011.

This year, we have moved to an online version of our Annual Report in order to be good stewards of our financial resources and of the world in which we live. If you would like a paper copy of the full report please contact the Development Office and we will be happy to provide one.

“Abington Friends School is an incredible school with an important mission. Your support helps the School get better and better.”

As I talk to friends and alumni of the school, I am often asked why our Campaign is critical now and why we feel it is so necessary to press forward even in this tough economic environment. The answer lies in the quality of the interactions between our students and our teachers. If we want the optimal learning environment for them, we need to allocate our resources accordingly. Our Campaign does just that. The three initiatives of Vision in Action focus on making our academic program superior, our faculty salaries competitive and our cafeteria and student commons flexible and dynamic. It is a compelling blueprint and please don’t hesitate to call me if you would like to discuss it in more detail.

To those who are listed on this report, I want to thank you for your generous stewardship of Abington Friends School. Your donations are an expression of your faith in the school. My wife and I support the school to the best of our ability because I am awed daily by the level of professionalism and dedication I see from our teachers, staff and administrators. I see this in the hallways, in the cafeteria, in assemblies and in my role as an 11th Grade advisor and part-time coach of tennis and golf. Abington Friends School is an incredible school with an important mission. Your support helps the School get better and better.

Before I close, I want to thank those who help us in other ways as well. To those friends who see to it that our scholarship program is supplemented by donations through the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (PAEITC) program, thank you very much. To those friends who gave more to our Annual Fund so that we could meet the E.E. Ford Challenge Grant for the purpose of designing multi-racial curricula, thank you very much. To those who supported the Hank Faulkner Golf Outing and have helped us raise over $40,000 to date for general scholarship, thank you very much. And to those who have had the wonderful foresight of including the school in your wills or planned giving, thank you very much.

We have much to give thanks for and for all of us in the Development Office, please know that we appreciate every dollar of your support!

With Regards,

Jon M. Harris Assistant Head of School for Institutional Advancement

Dear Friends, It is my pleasure to write to you every autumn and share my latest thoughts about Abington Friends School. This year, despite a rocky economic climate, there is excellent news to report.

• Enrollment is up and solid in all divisions.

• Because of careful planning by the Administration and the Finance Committee the school is in a position to continue to support our full program and our families in need during this difficult time.

• The Capital Campaign recently celebrated surpassing the halfway mark.

• The ’08–’09 Annual Fund exceeded its goal and hit an all time record.

“I am grateful for this remarkable community we all share…I give thanks for each of you and what you give to AFS.”

The School Committee continues to enjoy a rich and satisfying working relationship with the School and the Meeting. Each year, in addition to attending regular meetings, School Committee members share a working retreat, spend time visiting classrooms, and serve on various subcommittees. This year we welcome Margaret Sayers who, as AFS parent, clinical child psychologist, Meeting member, and board member of Building Blocks Child Development Center, brings a wealth of relevant experience to her work on the School Committee. We are sorry to say goodbye to Marcia Boraas, Anne Ewing Burns, Peter Kollros, Marc Perry and Frances Smith. We thank these colleagues for their many contributions and we wish them well in their future endeavors.

In a world of great change I find it a comfort as much as it is a privilege to be part of a community where core values and beliefs do not change but serve as guide posts for all major decision making; where ideas are not pigeon-holed but are always open to examination; and where, among the many constituencies of the school, a central constant is a comfort level with the very fact of change.

As families gather to celebrate the holidays I am grateful for this remarkable community we all share. I give thanks for the gift of each AFS graduate well prepared to engage in thoughtful and thought-provoking work. I give thanks for each of you and what you give to AFS: the nurturing support from home that underpins the work of teachers in the classrooms; your gifts to the Annual Fund that in many cases represent real sacrifice on a yearly basis; your volunteer hours; and, in the broader community of neighborhoods and houses of worship, your goodwill towards AFS that circles home to enrich us all.

With best wishes for a wonderful year,

Peter Schorsch, Clerk of School Committee

How did you first become an AFS parent?

Brad Sheares and Adrienne Simmons

Brad: It started with my oldest daughter, Adrienne. She was in middle school in Central Bucks. It was a good school system but she was falling through the cracks. At parent teacher meetings it was clear the teachers really didn’t know my kid. They weren’t reaching into her soul. We thought she can do better and we can do better. We made the normal round of schools in the area. We came to AFS and met faculty and staff, as well as students. You could see the focus on the individual and bringing out the best in the individual, and we liked what we were hearing about Quaker values, where everybody has something to contribute. We sent her here and she blossomed. After a couple of years we sent Alicia, and Anita said, ‘I want to go, too.’ They all have very different personalities but all of them have been able to find themselves at AFS. For one it might have been sports, for one taking advantage of AP courses, honors classes or other extracurricular activities.

What inspires you as a philanthropist?

School Committee member and AFS father Brad Sheares and his wife Adrienne Simmons are energetic supporters of the School. As well as contributing to the ECCO Program (Exploring, Connecting, Committing to Opportunity), they have established a scholarship fund to increase access to the School for qualified minorities. Brad’s oldest daughter, Adrienne, graduated from AFS in 2005 and attended Spelman College. Alicia took the same path in 2008 and youngest daughter Anita is set to graduate next summer.

Brad: Adrienne and I recognize how fortunate we are. One of the things that has allowed us to have the opportunities is the families we grew up in. Another is the education we received. I grew up in a family that valued education. My great grandfather went to college and for somebody who was black in Louisiana before the turn of the century that was a big deal. If I go back in the family to see who had success and opportunities, way before there was a Brad in the world, it was always those who had educational opportunities and took advantage of them. It was especially important in the black community where by law or practice there was such rampant discrimination. Ever since I was a little boy it was stressed that you’re going to college, that’s the key to success, the key to overcoming injustice, and my life has borne that out.

When we think of activities we’d like to be involved in and invest in, that’s what drives it for us. We’re particularly interested in kids and trying to make a difference for children.

We’ve taken the approach that there is a lot of need out there and we don’t have the ability to change everything for everybody so we like to make a difference for a kid here, a kid there. We’re involved with the Support Center for Child Advocates, the Boys and Girls Club, Fisk University, Spelman College, Purdue University and AFS.

Adrienne: Brad and I realized when we talked about where we wanted our funds to go that we both had a commitment to children. All of my volunteer activities are centered around children, and that’s not a coincidence. I think the light bulb went on as to where we should exclusively direct our funds when we established our foundation.

There are a lot of people who need support and it does become difficult for us to turn down other worthy causes. But for us it is always going to be about young people and fostering their cultural, social and educational development.

“We want to not only encourage others like ourselves to give but also to encourage the students we help when they are in their 30s, 40s, 50s to look back and extend a hand to someone else, pay it forward.

We’re always encouraged when we receive notes from people we’ve helped who say thank you and we can’t wait to do it for someone else.”

Your support of AFS and your commitment to increasing accessibility has been extraordinary. Can you talk about that?

Brad: I’m very inspired by Rich’s leadership for the School. He gets it. He has a vision for the School and the School is taking on a forward looking vision in the world. I’d like to help that in different ways: through serving on the School Committee and making contributions that enable a student to go to the School who otherwise simply because of financial means might not be able to go. To allow that to happen is very important to me. We have a real passion around it. We’re really committed to it. At first we wanted to support the School in general but we wanted to do more than that.

Adrienne: We think it’s important that we don’t just provide for a child to go to AFS for one year. It’s the value of consistency of being in the AFS community that’s key. So when we decide to support a child we have made a commitment to support them until they graduate. We can’t have them start their education here and not be able to finish.

How does it work in a practical sense?

Brad: The School works with experts, such as those at Steppingstone and a number of other programs, to identify good students who are prepared and ready to go. That’s the student in whose life we want to make a difference, and why we established an endowed scholarship fund to support these children.

What do you see as the long term impact of your support?

Brad: If we look at kids our fund has supported and see the contributions they’ve made to the AFS community and how beloved they are, what other students and faculty have learned, this is not charity on my part. This is providing an opportunity for an individual student but also to the whole AFS community. Having these students in the AFS population will enrich the experience for every student in this school.

Adrienne: We have made a commitment to support African American students in particular, and are looking for ways to get more minority students into the program.

One of the other reasons we do this is because it will hopefully encourage other people to support the things they’re passionate about. There are many people who have things they’re passionate about, and if everybody does their part it builds up the entire community. Hopefully people will look at the things we do and lend their support. For those of us who have been fortunate, it’s important to give back.

We want to not only encourage others like ourselves to give but also to encourage the students we help when they are in their 30s, 40s, 50s to look back and extend a hand to someone else, pay it forward. We’re always encouraged when we receive notes from people we’ve helped who say thank you and we can’t wait to do it for someone else.

They’re not going to forget there was someone who took an interest in them.

That’s really critical. It’s extremely important to us that these students see there are members in their community that look like them, care about them, are in a position to help them and do help them.

ways of giving Cash, Check and Credit Card

Life Insurance

The School accepts gifts made by check, cash, credit card (Visa, MasterCard and American Express). Gifts can be made using our secure online donation form, by mailing or dropping off a check to the Development Office.

If you have a life insurance policy which you no longer rely on, consider putting the money to work for AFS. This can be done in two ways. You can take an existing policy and amend it so that the beneficiary is AFS; or you can take a policy on which you have paid some premiums, but not all, and give it to AFS.

Securities and no-load mutual funds AFS welcomes gifts of appreciated securities. You may avoid capital gains tax and take a charitable deduction for the full value of the stock. For instructions about this simple transaction, you or your broker may call the Development Office at 215-576-3956.

Bequests A bequest to AFS is a gift that can truly be made by almost everybody. It involves no immediate loss of capital or income, and tax benefits minimize the ultimate cost to one’s heirs. If you would like to inquire about how to go about making a bequest to benefit AFS, please call the Development Office at 215-576-3956.

Retirement Assets You may be able to designate AFS as a beneficiary of your IRA or other retirement plan. This can help to reduce income and estate taxes.

Personal Property You can make an outright gift of your residence or other real estate to the school and qualify for a charitable deduction. A gift in this form enables you to avoid a capital gains tax on the appreciation of the property, just as with gifts of appreciated securities.

For information on giving to AFS, please contact Jon Harris at 215-576-3956 or jharris@abingtonfriends.net. AFS provides support for a full range of charitable gift planning options and services. We strongly urge prospective donors to consult with their attorney, financial advisor, estate planning professional, accountant or other appropriate professional when making decisions about estate planning.
