Message from the Head of School As the 2012-2013 school year was wrapping up, we received confirmation that the California Association of Independent Schools and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges had renewed our accreditation for a full six-year term. Our accreditation was no surprise… but just as validating were the accrediting committee’s commendations about what we do well at EB. After visiting our school, observing classrooms and talking to teachers, administrators, trustees, and parents, the committee complimented EB in a number of areas. Highlights of their commendations included:

Board Chair after five years as Chair and nine years as a trustee. As Lynn mentions in her letter, these weren’t just any five years! The school accomplished a record number of major projects, especially the transition to facilities ownership. Since she became Chair in 2008,

• The Board of Trustees for helping to ensure the longterm stability of the School by financing the purchase of three buildings and allowing the school to own 100% of its campus.

• We went from leasing both our campuses to owning both the Lower and Middle School campuses. Before taking this crucial step, we were at the mercy of the real estate market; now these costs are controlled through a 4% fixed-rate loan.

• The Faculty for their passion, engagement, and commitment to their students and the school, thus creating a nurturing and dynamic learning environment.

• We planned our first campus expansion in over 20 years, taking a welcome step towards giving our students more green space to learn and play outdoors.

• The Students for being polite, welcoming, enthusiastic, helpful, engaged with their academic work, and respectful with each other, which creates a warm, supportive, and positive environment.

• We raised over $2.29 million towards our Campus Campaign goal, a record in the history of our school. Lynn’s belief in our mission wasn’t just abstract. She is the mother of three EB alumni: Lucie (class of 2007; currently at Georgetown University), Nathalie (class of 2009; currently at Stanford) and Sébastien (class of 2012; currently in the International Baccalaureate program at Berkeley High). She has seen firsthand what a unique school EB is, and how well it prepares children for their next steps. Lynn’s extraordinary dedication, her downto-earth leadership style, her strategic vision and her experience in nonprofit management have all been great assets to the school, and we are very grateful for her service to EB.

• The School Community for its holistic approach to education, which addresses social emotional skills, conflict resolution, acceptance, mindfulness, and respect, thus, creating a positive and supportive school culture, where children feel safe. These commendations were a timely reminder of what makes EB great, and the professionalism, hard work and community spirit that make EB such a positive environment for children. We got more reminders of what makes EB great when we learned that our graduates had, once again, been accepted to top high schools and colleges. (See pages 12 – 13 for placement results.) The entire Board deserves credit for their careful planning and their countless hours of work. And you, our school community, deserve credit for your strong support of the school.

I look forward to working with our incoming Chair, Peter Secor, and the rest of the Board this year. And I look forward to the support of our talented faculty and our generous, supportive parent community as we all work together for the benefit of our children.

Speaking of professionalism and hard work, I would like to thank Lynn Van Housen, who is stepping down as

Message du Chef d’établissement Alors que l’année 2012–2013 touchait à sa fin, la California Association of Independent Schools et la Western Association of Schools and Colleges ont confirmé qu’elles renouvelaient notre habilitation pour les six prochaines années. Plus encore que l’habilitation, à laquelle nous nous attendions, ce sont les commentaires du Comité qui nous ont agréablement surpris : suite à la visite de l’établissement, pendant laquelle les membres du comité ont pu observer les classes, discuter avec les personnels enseignants et non enseignants, les membres du Conseil d’administration et les parents, le Comité a félicité l’école sur de nombreux points. Citons les principaux :

En parlant de professionnalisme et d’efforts, j’aimerais remercier Lynn Van Housen. Elle nous quitte après avoir passé neuf ans au Conseil d’administration, dont cinq ans en tant que Présidente. Comme Lynn l’exprime dans sa lettre, que de choses se sont passées durant ces cinq années ! L’école a mené à bien un nombre record de projets majeurs, notamment la transition vers la propriété de ses locaux. Depuis son arrivée à la présidence en 2008, • Nous sommes passés de la location à la propriété des campus de l’école primaire et du collège. Avant de prendre ce tournant, nous étions à la merci du marché de l’immobilier ; désormais, ces dépenses sont contrôlées dans le cadre d’un prêt à taux fixe à 4%.

• L’action financière du Conseil d’administration, qui a permis à l’école d’acquérir ses locaux et de devenir propriétaire à 100% de son campus. C’est la stabilité à long terme de l’école qui est assurée.

• Nous avons établi un plan d’expansion afin de proposer à nos élèves un environnement plus verdoyant pour leurs activités éducatives et récréatives en extérieur.

• La passion, l’engagement et l’implication des enseignants envers les élèves et l’école, créant un environnement d’apprentissage riche et dynamique.

• Nous avons collecté plus de 2 290 000 dollars dans le cadre de notre projet Campus Campaign, un record dans l’histoire de l’école.

• Le comportement des élèves : polis, accueillants, enthousiastes, serviables, impliqués dans leur scolarité et respectueux les uns des autres ; ce qui crée un environnement chaleureux, solidaire et positif.

La foi de Lynn en notre mission s’est toujours exprimée concrètement. Elle est la mère de trois anciens élèves d’EB : Lucie (promotion de 2007, actuellement étudiante à Georgetown University), Nathalie (promotion de 2009, maintenant à Stanford) et Sébastien (promotion de 2012, suivant le programme du Baccalauréat international à Berkeley High). Elle a tout de suite compris qu’EB était une école unique, offrant à ses élèves une excellente préparation pour les étapes suivantes. Son extraordinaire implication, le pragmatisme et la diplomatie dont elle a su faire preuve, sa vision stratégique et son expérience du management en milieu non-lucratif, ont représenté de grands atouts pour l’école, et nous lui en sommes très reconnaissants.

• L’approche holistique de l’éducation qui prévaut au sein de notre communauté, mettant en avant les qualités sociales et affectives, la gestion des conflits, la tolérance, la pleine conscience et le respect. Elle favorise l’émergence d’une culture d’école positive et solidaire, où les enfants se sentent en sécurité. Ces éloges viennent à point nommé nous rappeler ce qui fait l’excellence d’EB, ainsi que le professionnalisme, les efforts et l’esprit de communauté qui font d’elle un environnement si bénéfique pour les enfants. Nous avons eu une nouvelle occasion de constater la valeur de notre école, en apprenant que les élèves sortis d’EB sont acceptés dans les plus prestigieux établissements du secondaire et du supérieur (voir les résultats d’admission p.12–13). Remercions tous les membres du Conseil d’administration pour leur organisation rigoureuse et les heures de travail dispensées sans compter. Quant à vous, membres de la communauté de l’école, nous vous remercions du soutien sans faille que vous apportez à notre école.

Je souhaite la bienvenue à Peter Secor, le nouveau Président du Conseil d’administration, ainsi qu’à toute l’équipe du Conseil. Et je suis heureux de pouvoir compter cette année encore sur le soutien de notre excellente équipe pédagogique et de notre généreuse communauté de parents tandis que nous travaillons tous ensemble au bien-être de nos enfants.

Message from the Chair of the Board of Trustees As I step down from EB’s Board of Trustees and reflect on the past nine years, I am struck by the many contributions of individuals that together have given rise to traditions we now hold dear and to opportunities created and seized that point us with confidence towards the future.

talent and dedication of outgoing trustees Thomas Clydesdale, Nathalie Destandau, Corinne Pluche, Rick Richetta and John Rosenthal will be missed though their contributions will continue to be felt in the many projects they influenced. Thomas and John both deserve special mention: Thomas served seven years on the Board, including four and a half as Treasurer, and John served nine years, two of them as Treasurer. Not only were they instrumental in helping protect and guide EB’s finances through the economic downturn, their wisdom and collegiality were tremendous assets to the Board. We welcome incoming trustees Yusef Alexandrine, Sharon Le Duy, Jeff Loustau, Stéphane Prunet and French faculty Marion Tobie and are grateful for their willingness to serve the school in this way. I am grateful to the faculty members who have served on the Board in addition to everything else they do, as well as the administrative staff for serving on and supporting Board committees.

I’d like to share a few that especially speak to me. The World Celebrations potluck. While my kids loved the dishes from all over the world, I always noticed the incredible feeling of community when I walked into the hall. Many people make this event happen every year, but the idea and the energy to start it back in 2003 came from Karoline Robbins. This event celebrates a central quality of the EB community: its multiculturalism. The 8th Grade Class Gift. As a Trustee, Board Chair and former Annual Fund agent, fundraising for EB is near and dear to my heart. Back in 2008, Sally Drach understood that our kids also need to be part of our attempts to create a giving culture at EB. She instituted not only the tradition of an 8th grade gift to the school, but coupled it with education about philanthropy and the magic of compounding interest. She reminds us that it’s always about more than just the money. Our Moment: The Campus Campaign. There are so many individuals who have contributed to the many aspects of this project that I cannot name them all here. Many have served as EB Trustees ensuring that financing, fundraising, building and design elements all happen when and how they need to. But other individuals, especially parents, have made major contributions. Talented architect Charles Debbas created the first drawings showing the possibilities of what we could do with our expanded outdoor space and allowing us to start the conversation with you. Then Matt Wadlund integrated feedback from teachers, kids and parents to produce the current round of designs. Vicente Madrigal and Ann Harrison opened their home to host that first conversation in 2009.

I want to acknowledge the special honor I’ve had of working alongside our Head of School, Frederic Canadas. Frederic is a Head who is compassionate, dedicated and visionary, and we are fortunate to have him guiding the school into the future. I will miss our partnership. It has been a privilege to serve alongside such talented individuals. I would like to thank the trustees I served with and the teachers and administrators who serve our kids day in and day out. Under the leadership of Frédéric Canadas and our new Board Chair Peter Secor, the school will continue to thrive, and to offer a world-class bilingual education to our students. Lynn Van Housen Chair, Board of Trustees

Serving on EB’s Board has convinced me that there is no limit to what the EB community can achieve. The

Message de la Présidente du Conseil d’Administration pour produire les plans actuels. Vicente Madrigal et Ann Harrison nous ont ouvert leurs portes pour accueillir cette première rencontre en 2009.

À l’heure de céder mon siège de Présidente du Conseil d’administration, je me remémore ces neuf dernières années, et je suis frappée par le nombre de personnes qui nous ont apporté leur soutien. Ensemble, elles ont fait naître des traditions que nous conservons aujourd’hui, et elles ont offert des opportunités qui nous permettent de nous projeter dans l’avenir avec sérénité.

Mon travail au sein du Conseil d’administration d’EB m’a convaincu qu’il n’y a pas de limite à ce que la communauté d’EB peut accomplir. Le talent et le dévouement des membres sortants Thomas Clydesdale, Nathalie Destandau, Corinne Pluche, Rick Richetta et John Rosenthal nous manqueront, même si leur action continuera à vivre à travers les projets qu’ils ont initiés. Thomas et John méritent une mention spéciale : Thomas a servi pendant sept ans, dont quatre ans et demi en tant que trésorier, et John pendant neuf ans, dont deux comme trésorier. Non seulement ils ont joué un rôle clé pour assurer et orienter les finances d’EB durant la crise économique, mais leur sagesse et leur esprit d’équipe ont aussi constitué d’énormes atouts pour le Conseil d’administration. Bienvenue aux nouveaux membres : Yusef Alexandrine, Sharon Le Duy, Jeff Loustau, Stéphane Prunet et Marion Tobie. Merci à eux d’avoir décidé de servir l’école de cette manière. Je remercie les enseignants qui ont participé au Conseil d’administration en plus de leurs missions, de même que le personnel non enseignant pour avoir servi et soutenu les Comités du Conseil.

Je souhaiterais évoquer ici celles qui m’ont le plus marquée. La Célébration des Fêtes du Monde. Pendant que mes enfants se régalaient avec des plats du monde entier, je n’ai jamais manqué de remarquer l’incroyable sentiment de communauté présent dans la salle polyvalente. De nombreuses personnes participent à l’organisation de cet événement annuel, mais c’est Karoline Robbins qui a eu l’idée et l’énergie de renouer avec cette tradition en 2003. Cette fête met à l’honneur une caractéristique fondamentale de la communauté d’EB : son multiculturalisme. Le don des 4èmes. En tant que membre et Présidente du Conseil d’administration, et ex-agent du Fonds Annuel, je suis particulièrement attachée à la collecte de fonds. Dès 2008, Sally Drach avait compris que nos enfants devaient être associés à nos tentatives de créer une culture du don à EB. Non seulement elle a institué le don des 4èmes, mais elle l’a doublé d’un projet d’éducation à la philanthropie et à la magie des intérêts cumulés. Elle nous a rappelé qu’il s’agit bien plus que d’une simple question d’argent.

Ce fut un honneur de travailler avec notre Chef d’établissement, Frédéric Canadas. C’est un directeur humain, dévoué et visionnaire, et nous avons beaucoup de chance de l’avoir à la tête de l’école. Je regretterai notre collaboration.

Our Moment: The Campus Campaign. Les différents aspects de ce projet ont mobilisé tant de monde que je ne peux tous les citer ici. Parmi eux, beaucoup de membres du Conseil d’administration ont veillé à ce que les phases de financement, de collecte de fonds, de construction et de conception s’enchaînent correctement. D’autres acteurs, en particulier des parents, nous ont également apporté une aide précieuse. L’architecte Charles Debbas a mis ses talents à notre service pour imaginer les possibilités d’expansion de la cour de récréation, nous permettant d’initier le dialogue avec vous. Puis Matt Wadlund a intégré les idées des enseignants, des élèves et des parents

J’ai eu l’immense privilège de travailler avec des personnes très compétentes. Je souhaite remercier les membres du Conseil d’administration avec qui j’ai servi, les personnels enseignants et administratifs qui accompagnent constamment nos enfants. Sous la direction de Frédéric Canadas et de notre nouveau Président Peter Secor, l’école va continuer de prospérer en offrant à ses élèves une éducation bilingue d’envergure internationale.

SCHOOL JOURNAL

Summer Improvements to Our Campus This summer, we took the first step in transforming our yards and creating an outdoor learning environment. The new school garden has been wonderful. Now that the garden is in the small courtyard instead of being behind a fence, it has become a gathering point for our community.

(thanks to Sue Campbell and the students and parents who pitched in to help), the garden has now doubled in size, with a new outdoor classroom where any class can gather to learn. There is also an outdoor lounge—a quiet, green space away from the hubbub of the main yard. The students are really enjoying these new spaces!

No less exciting were the improvements at the Middle School. Just a few years after the Middle School garden got its start

New for 2013–2014: Better Support for Teachers and Students Teachers’ first and main focus is their students. This is as it should be… and yet devoting attention to the children can make it difficult to also coordinate with colleagues about curriculum innovations, research new resources and trends in education, make sure that the curriculum progresses smoothly from one grade to the next, and that every effort is made to harmonize our French and English curricula. On top of that, some students’ needs are best met with a little extra support. These are challenges in any school, and especially in a school that covers two curricula in two languages!

Deborah Ferranti is our new part-time learning specialist. Kathleen Mitchell is the new English Program Curriculum Coordinator/Cycle 3 Coordinator for the Lower School. We had originally planned to have a full-time French Curriculum Coordinator, but due to unanticipated circumstances the position was scaled back to part-time for 2013-2014. Sylvie Le Meur, who has taught at EB for 17 years, now spends one day a week on curriculum coordination.

So to better support our teachers—and by extension our students— EB has reorganized its academic team to include some new roles:

Other members of the team include Middle School Counselor and High School Placement specialist Douglas Gostlin, Learning Specialist Amy Gordon-Risz, Soutien Specialist Nadine Morrisette, ESL instructor Amanda Fox and Academic Technology Coordinator Emmanuel Labadie.

Stacy Chandler picked up additional responsibilities (Middle School faculty hiring, professional development and supervision, as well as curriculum development) as our new Middle School Head.

Thierry Durandard is now the only Assistant Head of School, overseeing the entire department.

Current teachers Sue Campbell and Mathieu Cladidier are now our English and French curriculum coordinators at the Middle School in addition to their teaching duties.

Not only do these changes allow for better coordination by grade level and by language, but the teachers are better supported by having a point person for each cycle. The Student Support Team (Learning Specialists and Counselors) has put in place new systems that allow for more responsiveness when working with our students and their parents. We are confident that this new structure for the academic department will increase faculty support and will have a positive impact overall on our students!

Magali Noth, our current lower school Dean of Student Life, has the additional duty of Cycle I coordinator while continuing her work on the Social and Emotional Learning program. Lower School Counselor Betsy Cory has doubled her hours to be available to more students overall, which now gives Middle School girls the option of consulting with a same-gender counselor.

Spotlight on our Three Alumni Board Members Yusef Alexandrine, Class of 1988 (G5) I attended EB from 1983 until 1988, from first to fifth grade, before EB had a Middle School. In many ways, it was one of the best experiences of my childhood. My experience at EB had a significant impact on my perspective as well as my sense of self. I left with the sense that I was capable of learning almost anything and succeeding in almost any environment. In addition to an excellent bilingual education, EB’s culture of inclusiveness and its open approach to learning changed the way I conceptualized the world around me as well as how I approach that which is unfamiliar. I have often thought of these as my strongest attributes. As an investment management attorney, advising clients regarding regulatory, transactional and counseling matters involving the securities and commodities laws, I find that the foundation laid at EB has helped me every step of the way. I joined the EB board this year because I wanted to give something back to the school that gave so much to me. I am grateful to be able to share my experience and hope to contribute to future generations of EB graduates.

Kili McGowan, Class of 1993 I attended EB for ten years, and was part of the first Middle School graduating class of 1993. Growing up in EB’s international community helped me feel at home in the world and inspired an insatiable curiosity about other cultures and worldviews. EB fostered an open-mindedness and flexibility that is essential to my work and travel. Most importantly, the rigorous academics and emphasis on clear communication in multiple languages laid the foundation for all the detail-oriented skills I use in running my own business. I am a safari specialist and own an agency, Next Adventure, based in Berkeley. I design tailor-made photographic safaris throughout East and Southern Africa for couples, families and small groups of friends. It didn’t take much consideration for me to happily join the Board as a way of giving back to a school family that has meant so much to me. I was fascinated to hear all about what was new and exciting at EB, and also deeply proud that the school has stayed true to its character and mission. I am also thrilled to have my daughter starting her education at EB this fall and this has redoubled my enthusiasm for participating in the community.

John Palmer, Class of 1988 (G5) I attended EB from 1983 until 1988, from first to fifth grade. During that time, I learned that there is always more than one way to do something– think long division. Since then, I’ve tried to ask questions when presented with differences of method, opinion, culture: I’ve tried to ask about the strengths and weaknesses of each method, the origins of the opinion, the evolution of the cultural norm. This has made me a bricoleur—willing to source my methods, opinions, maybe even my culture pretty widely. It has made me curious about trying new things and it has made me believe in the abiding value of not being scared of the unknown, not finding difference to be something that needs resolution, but rather finding delight and richness in difference. This clearly has implications at work—I’m a finance lawyer in San Francisco—my work involves finding solutions that meet the needs of different perspectives, it demands innovation, it bridges economic strata and culture and sometimes even language. But the point is: no matter what I had ended up doing, the education I got at EB would have informed the way I approached my work, and, I think, made it better. I think that learning to live in a world increasingly divided by difference is going to mean that we will need citizens who think of themselves as people who can bridge those differences, who are at home in multiple cultures, who aren’t ineluctably rooted in their own perspective. If this was valuable thirty years ago when I started my education at EB, it’s only become more valuable since, and I can’t think of a better way than joining the Board both to give back, and also to do my small part to help produce the kinds of citizens we’re going to need in the coming decades.

THANK YOU TO OUR 2012–2013 VOLUNTEERS!

Parents’ Association The EB Parents’ Association plays a hugely important role at EB. Whether it is coordinating events, organizing fundraisers, creating school spirit, or supporting our teachers, the PA is at the heart of EB’s community. This year, they put a tremendous amount of effort into organizing a strong, stable PA body that is invested in our school and our children. The creation of the popular First Friday Coffees is an example of this commitment to community building. In addition to their many contributions in the classroom, their hard work is essential to the success of the major EB events and traditions:

• Wine Auction Soirée of the East Bay: Catrine Charron

• World Celebrations • The Raffle • La Place du Marché • First Friday Coffees • Welcome Committee

Thank you to each and every one of you for your time and efforts to make this school an exceptional place!

Finance and Advancement Report

Loy Sheflott, Advancement Chair

Antoine Portales, Business Manager

EB completed the 2012–2013 fiscal year in solid financial condition. EB recorded an operating surplus of $178,611 for the year ending June 30, 2013. Almost all of this surplus ($177,986) was necessary for yearly principal repayments of our loans used to purchase our Middle School and Lower School campuses. We are grateful for the generous support of our extended community: current parents, faculty and staff, Board of Trustees, our alumni and their families, grandparents, and friends of the school. In 2012–2013, we raised $415,828 in contributions to “The Campus Campaign – Our Moment,” EB’s Campus Campaign. As of June 2013, our school has raised $2.29 million toward this effort. The Campus Campaign is a key component to Phase 2 of our Long-Range Facilities Master Plan—the purchase of the property north of the Lower School playground in the Fall of 2013 and improvements on that property and the existing Lower School playground in the Summer of 2014. With the planned conclusion of the Campus Campaign in the 2013–14 school year, these exciting improvements to our outdoor learning environment will enhance the EB experience for our children and future generations of EB students. Other notable results from our generous community this year included: • $447,565 in unrestricted gifts raised through our annual giving efforts and fundraisers, including the Annual Fund ($315,715), the Wine Auction Soirée of the East Bay and the online auction ($69,363—this number excludes the restricted gifts to the Fund-A-Need), the Raffle ($17,609) and the Place du Marché ($10,484), retail partnerships of $4,935, and a special gift from the Trustees of $30,000 towards the operating budget. • $133,088 in restricted gifts including $50,000 towards the Field Mithoefer Financial Aid Fund and an outstanding $62,650 in donations raised during our Auction Fund-A-Need to support EB’s Financial Aid program. This amount also includes $20,438 in generous contributions to the Endowment, of which $9,124 were made by the 8th grade class. Developing EB’s endowment remains a longterm goal and we are grateful to the 8th grade families, parents, and students for supporting this effort. We also thank the anonymous alumni family who developed and continues to support building EB’s endowment through the tradition of the class gift and the Citizenship Award. Our fiscal policies and actions reflect our commitment to EB’s mission of providing an exceptional bilingual education to a diverse group of students. Specifically, two key elements guided our efforts: • Promoting excellence in the classroom by providing the resources necessary to support faculty, enhance academic programs, improve facilities, and strengthen the school’s long-term future. • Supporting the school’s financial sustainability and economic diversity through prudent fiscal management, a balanced operating budget, and ongoing support of financial aid programs. Diverse and generous families, parents, and students are the core of EB’s wonderful and vibrant community, and our achievements are the result of your tremendous gifts of talent, time, and financial contributions. We are grateful for your support, and look forward to our continued partnership together. Mark Poff Treasurer 18

The Campus Campaign The tremendous support from our community has already led to a campus milestone. In October 2013, we completed the purchase of the property adjacent to the Lower School playground, nearly doubling the size of the main playground. Spring 2014 will see work begin on this property and by the start of the 2014–2015 school year our students, faculty and staff will begin enjoying the longawaited transformation of our school campus.

The Campus Campaign responds to our community’s longheld desire for outdoor athletic facilities and our faculty’s request for a campus that better supports the quality of our academic programs. We could not be more excited about the plans for our outdoor learning environment, designed by the firm of Sessa + Wadlund Design Studio and including a seasonal creek carrying rain run-off, as well as a basketball court and grassy field for our PE classes and our much-decorated Jaguars.

We cannot thank our donors enough for their support and special commitment to EB, and we are also grateful to the many members of our community who have lent their time and talent to making the Campus Campaign a reality.

As of June 2013, 260 parents, students, teachers, staff, alumni, friends and supporters including the French “Assemblée Nationale” have contributed $2,290,000 to our campaign goal of $2,750,000. Our goal for the coming year is to raise the final $260,000 by June 2014 to earn a generous foundation grant of $200,000.

For more information or to support the Campus Campaign, please visit eb.org/ourmoment or contact Florence Kragen, Director of Advancement, at fkragen@eb.org or at (510) 549-3867.

The expanded playground offers almost twice the space, with a junior basketball court, a half soccer field, an outdoor stage/ amphitheater and renovated Maternelle yard. 20

A N N UA L R E P O RT 201 2 – 201 3

The seasonal creek is a perfect place to study the environment, and the integrated seating creates a welcoming spot for any class to meet outdoors.

CITIZENSHIP AWARD 2013 The EB Citizenship Award recognizes EB Middle School persons whose outstanding service supports, strengthens and sustains the EB community and the broader communities in which they participate. Candidates for the Citizenship Award were nominated by students, faculty and parents at the Middle School. Out of many nominees, parent Nathalie Valette was selected as the recipient of the Citizenship Award due to her long history of committed volunteering, teamwork and community-building. She has served the school as room rep, event organizer, yearbook coordinator, and also as coordinator of the 2013 eighth grade endowment class project. Nathalie’s name was engraved on a plaque located at the Middle School, and the alumni family who instituted this award made a $1,000 donation to EB’s Endowment in her honor. Nathalie Valette received the Citizenship Award 2013 for her long-time volunteering
