2019 ANNUAL REPORT Clayton Education Foundation

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends, On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Clayton Education Foundation, I want to express my deep appreciation for your support this past year. It has been a very challenging time as the pandemic continues to impact us all. We’re proud of how the School District of Clayton’s administrators and teachers began preparing contingency plans long before the rest of us imagined that Covid-19 would cause the complete shutdown of not just our community, but our entire country. They acted rapidly to move classes online. Together with our parents and students, they have continued adjusting to the everchanging circumstances in order to keep everyone in the District safe, and keep our students learning. Throughout it all, the Clayton Education Foundation has responded. From our signature Teacher Innovation Grant program, to funding hotspots for families lacking internet access, to partnering with the Clayton PTO to help District families facing food insecurity, we have kept finding ways to support our students and teachers. But we couldn’t do any of our important work without the generous support of donors like you. Thank you!

We couldn’t do any of our important work without your generous support.

As you read about all the ways we support classroom innovations, provide increased access to educational opportunities, and promote lifelong connections for alumni, I hope you will consider making a gift to the Clayton Education Foundation. Remember, the CARES Act includes provisions allowing taxpayers to deduct even more in charitable donations this year. As always, please check with your tax advisor for complete details. If you can take advantage of these once-in-a-lifetime federal tax deductions now, you can help us accomplish even more in the coming year!

Thank you! With Greyhound Pride,

Alex Berger III President, Board of Directors Clayton Education Foundation

Graduated from CHS at least 10 years

Clayton Alumni Hall of Fame Criteria

Achievement in one or more of the following: y

Excellence in service to a recognized profession such as law, education, medicine, engineering, science or journalism.

Outstanding success in a trade, business or industry.

Demonstrated high achievement in one or more recognized fields of cultural endeavor such as music, theater, dance, literature, etc.

Significant contributions to the community at large through volunteering or charitable contributions.

2021 ALUMNI HALL OF FAME CLASS ADDED Because of the extraordinary delays to the 2020 Hall of Fame Celebration, another Hall of Fame class for the year 2021 will be selected in the spring. Both the 2020 and 2021 classes will be inducted September 24 and 25, 2021. The next Hall of Fame class will be selected in 2023. In the past, the Alumni Hall of Fame Committee asked CHS Alumni to submit nominations, and the committee was limited to selecting honorees from only those submitted. To ensure that Hall of Fame honorees more fully represent the diversity of our entire Clayton community, a special committee of Foundation Board members has updated the Hall of Fame nomination process. y y

The current committee will be split into two committees. The Nominating Committee will not only solicit nominations from Alumni, but also be empowered to proactively seek out qualified candidates. The Selection Committee will review all the nominations and select the honorees.

If you are interested in volunteering for a Hall of Fame Committee, or know a CHS graduate that should be considered for membership in the Hall of Fame, please contact Robert Kerr at rkerrstl@gmail.com by January 12, 2021.

Clayton High School now boasts a premier multisport facility that can be used by our entire community. The Athletic Department and the Foundation hope to host an official grand opening celebration and throw out the ceremonial first pitch in the fall of 2021.

$10,000 ENDOWMENT HONORS ENGLISH TEACHER BLANDFORD JENNINGS From 1930 to 1963, Blandford Jennings taught English in the School District of Clayton. He greatly inspired his students with a love of English literature, creative writing, theater and serious scholarship. He was so influential that the Clayton High School Department of English annually gives out the Blandford Jennings Award. The award is given to the senior who, in the judgment of the English Department faculty, most fully displays qualities of excellence as a writer, scholar and true enthusiast about literature. Mary Louise (Frey) Hickman (‘44) was one of those many students Jennings inspired. To honor the memory of her most influential high school teacher, and provide financial assistance to promising students, Mary Louise included a charitable bequest to the Clayton Education Foundation in her will. Her generous gift of $10,000 will establish the Blandford Jennings Scholarship Endowment. Income from the endowment will fund a scholarship to accompany the English Department’s annual Blandford Jennings Award and will be presented by the Foundation at the annual CHS Awards Ceremony.

CLASS OF ‘71 DONATES $1,200 The Class of 1971 didn’t let Covid-19 prevent them from marking their 50th Reunion in a special way. Although the class decided to cancel their plans to get together in the spring of 2021, they donated $1,200 to the Clayton Education Foundation’s General Fund, to be used wherever it is most needed. We appreciate their leadership and dedication to Clayton, and look forward to seeing the class when they can gather here again for a celebration!

If you, too, were inspired by Blandford Jennings, you can contribute to the endowment fund. Simply select Blandford Jennings Scholarship Endowment online (for a credit card donation) or on the enclosed envelope (for a donation by check).

TEACHER INNOVATION GRANTS: RECORD $65,000 AWARDED In October 2019, the Clayton Education Foundation awarded 18 Teacher Innovation Grants totaling a record $65,000 for the 2019-2020 school year. Since its inception, the program has distributed nearly $242,000 to support innovative learning practices in District classrooms. Generous gifts from the Centene Charitable Foundation, the Crawford Taylor Foundation and individual donors made these grants possible. “These grants foster creativity and support our strategic plan work as we focus on the Profile of the Clayton Graduate,” said Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning Dr. Milena Garganigo. “Across our schools, these learning opportunities encourage intellectual curiosity, cultural competency and collaboration, all traits that will

lead to success for our students regardless of what path they decide to pursue after high school.” While the majority of these grants were fulfilled during the school year, the pandemic forced several to delay implementation until students were physically back in the classroom. The Foundation postponed the annual grant application and award process from the first semester of 2020 until the second semester. We hope this delay enables our teachers additional time to develop creative learning projects and implement them in the classroom (fingers crossed) during the first semester of the 2021-22 school year.

2019-2020 Grants included: All Elementary Code, Create, Collaborate, Connect Innovative Learning with Ozobots Ozobots are small and powerful robots that students can program using simple markers or block based computer programming. Summer Reading Library Striving readers will have access to books throughout the summer and guidance from literacy specialists with a Summer Library.

Meramec Elementary Endangered Species around the World Third-graders will build their knowledge of world geography and living things as they research an endangered species. Novel Engineering in the Library Students visiting the Library will experiment with 10

Glenridge Elementary Community Composting and Hydroponics Students will implement hydroponic gardening towers and worm farm composters to encourage healthy lifestyles, environmental stewardship, community development and social development.

Wydown Middle School Empowering Middle School Girls: A Path to Excellence In partnership with The Sophia Project, we will engage, educate and empower young women to make sound decisions, embrace personal awareness and build healthy relationships. Student Designed Small-Scale Farms Seventh- and eighth-grade students will build and implement a hydroponic or aquaponic system. They will learn about urban farming practices and build a rooftop and vertical garden. Bringing Prototypes to Life via 3D Printing! Exploratorium students will design and create realistic, durable product prototypes with a 3D printer. Innovation with Nintendo Switch Coding and Coding 2 students will explore areas of game design, including programming, character creations, storyboarding, production and promotion.

Clayton High School Cultural Collaboration The Family Center at Clayton High School will collaborate with ninth-grade English students to explore, interrogate, and curate research to build persuasive writing, as well as evaluate culturally responsive and age-appropriate books for both the pre-school and high school students. Symphonic Band Commission Project Gary Gackstatter, a nationally published composer and professor of music at St. Louis Community College - Meramec, will create a musical composition written specifically for the Clayton

High School Symphonic Band to be performed at the 2020 Missouri Music Educators Association’s (MMEA) annual conference. The commission is based on “Scout,” a character from “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Digital Gallery Wall This gallery will allow art students in digital classes to display their work in the “heart” of the building. Six screens will display motion graphics work, photography, digital designs and more. Catalyst Program Consortium Initiative The Clayton Catalyst Program offers an innovative, advanced, entrepreneurial approach to education that is designed to give high school students handson, real world experience in global business and entrepreneurship. Four area schools, Clayton, Ladue, Brentwood and University City currently participate. The Wizard of Oz Pit Orchestra Collaboration For this year’s Broadway Musical, professional and CHS student musicians will rehearse and perform side by side in the live pit orchestra, encouraging student growth.

PARTNERING WITH PTO, FACULTY AND STAFF TO HELP DISTRICT FAMILIES IN NEED When the coronavirus pandemic struck our community in March, the Clayton Education Foundation and the School District of Clayton PTO partnered to help support District families that were negatively impacted. Thanks to the community’s generous response, the Fill the Food Pantry Fund Drive raised $31,900. Funds were used to provide grocery gift cards to 43 District families for 10 weeks. The average family that was part of the program from its start received an average of $650 in assistance. Money raised was also used to purchase food items for the Friday Food BackPack program, which served an average of 18 families per week. The District’s food service provider, Chartwells, has been an invaluable partner. This past October, the Foundation and the PTO partnered again on both a food drive and a donation drive to help fight food insecurity for District families. Each school’s food pantry was stocked with shelfstable food donations on Saturday, October, 24th. Monetary donations totaled more than $9,400. School District of Clayton Faculty and Staff host an annual drive to provide District families in need with meals during the holiday season. In partnership with the Foundation, more than $3,000 was contributed to provide grocery gift cards for Thanksgiving and December holiday meals.
