Graduation & Moving Up

As we reflect on the 2021-22 school year, it feels nearly impossible to articulate the multitude of emotions that we know that we share with our Burke family. We continued to persevere through far-reaching challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with the incomprehensible events of April 22; it is easy to be overwhelmed by what we have experienced. But as much as our world and our school have endured, we have never lost our sense of community, and in fact, our resilience has made us collectively stronger than ever. As we move forward together with joy, hope, and Burke Love, the light of our community burns so brightly. We are immensely grateful to each and every one of you that stand with Burke and support the school in so many ways. You are what allows us to remain the very special community that we are, and there is certainly much to be proud of!

This past spring, we were overjoyed that the newly-renovated spaces made possible by the historic $6 million Stand with Burke Campaign were officially completed and opened for our community to enjoy. These renovations to our original building space in Mooskin-Roth Hall have allowed us to truly utilize all square footage of our urban campus to its fullest potential. It has been so gratifying to see students enjoying additional community and classroom spaces, a fully renovated and air conditioned gym, a brand new fitness center and locker rooms, and a new servery area for lunch. Faculty are thriving in their much-needed new office spaces, and we are proud of the improved accessibility on all floors of the building. We look forward to finalizing plans and commencing some external renovations in the near future.

The end of this last fundraising year concluded most of our campaign pledges. We are so very grateful to all who contributed. As we embark on a new year, we hope that our community will continue to make inspirational commitments to Burke.

This was once again a record-breaking fundraising year on more than one front. Burke’s second annual Day of Giving inspired over 300 Bengals near and far to contribute nearly $127,000 to Burke’s Annual Fund. If that wasn’t enough to celebrate, April 9th’s Auction for Financial Aid certainly was! Your generous donations enabled us to raise nearly $400,000 for Financial Aid. These incredible achievements illustrate your devotion to Burke.

Following the events of April 22, the most difficult time in Burke’s history, we were overwhelmed by the swell of outreach from our Burke family, seeking a way to support our school. After careful consideration, we established Burke’s Fund for Restoration, Healing, and Joy. We are truly grateful to all those who have made gifts to this fund. Your kindness will enable us to provide joy and healing to our community in the coming months and years.

At the end of this last school year, we closed one chapter as we said farewell to Damian, who shepherded us so well through eight years of Burke’s history. We could not be more grateful for his service, leadership, and partnership and wish him continued success in his next journey. And, as we began this new year at Burke, we opened the next chapter of our book, welcoming our new Head of School, Steve McManus. This is undoubtedly an important moment in our school’s history, and we are proud to have Steve at the helm. Over these last several months, we have been nothing less than impressed and delighted by Steve’s connection with the members of our community, how he has absorbed what makes Burke, Burke, and his enthusiasm for helping to lead Burke fearlessly (and thoughtfully) into its next era. We are thrilled to partner with Steve to make Burke’s future a bright one.

With much to look forward to, we are excited to embark upon this new chapter in Burke’s story. We are encouraged by the tremendous culture of engagement, support, and care within our community, and are delighted that we have the opportunity to partner with you to continue to help Burke move forward.

Finally, to each of you listed among these following pages: please accept our personal thanks for the exemplary ways in which you have supported our school. We are grateful, and we celebrate you!

With Gratitude,

Winter 20222021-2022 ANNUAL REPORT

It has been a longstanding tradition that the families of the graduating class join together in support of a special class fundraising effort in commemoration of their students’ accomplishments and in recognition of what Burke has meant to them. Parents from the Class of 2022 wanted to leave behind a gift that would contribute to the eventual reimagination of Burke’s outdoor space outside of the older building on Upton Street, helping to make it an inviting place where members of the community can gather and share time together.

Congratulations, and thank you to the Class of 2022 graduates and their families!

TEAM BURKE:

2ND ANNUAL COMMUNITY DAY OF GIVING

In December 2021, Burke held its second annual Day of Giving and far exceeded the previous year’s Day of Giving successes! This community heeded the call, and we quickly sailed past our participation goal of 200 donors, unlocking an initial $20,000 challenge grant from Kira Swencki and Mike Mihalke P’22. Then, things got even more exciting when we crossed the 300 donor mark, exceeding a secondary participation goal of 250 and securing a bonus challenge grant of $15,000 issued by an anonymous alumni supporter. There were additional generous challenge gifts for each and every current parent class, as well as for alumni and past parents — and the challenges were all met, and in many cases exceeded. When the day came to an official close, nearly $147,000 was raised in support of Burke’s Annual Fund. We are incredibly grateful to our Burke family — near and far, past and present — for showing up as members of “Team Burke” during this special day. Your collective participation allows us to ensure the school’s ability to remain nimble and to respond to the immediate and long-term needs of our students, teachers, programs, and operations. Together, we are TEAM BURKE!

All donors who participated in the Day of Giving are listed within the Annual Giving participation lists, as well.

Over half of the dollars raised during the Day of Giving are attributable to advocacy: participation in challenges and matches, link sharing, and volunteer outreach.
