letter from the president of the board of trustees
Dear FCDS community, A year of innovation. A year of participation. A year of dedication. A year of celebration. Last year began with a rigorous and successful Head of School search and ended on a sundrenched morning in June at the 82nd commencement exercises. The School unanimously appointed Jon Deveaux as the 11th leader of Fairfield Country Day School, we launched the Boys Lab to leverage our expertise in boys’ education, and we applauded all of our 2019 graduates who matriculated to exceptional secondary schools. Our success as a school is also measured by the support of our community. I am thrilled to report that for the fourth consecutive year the Annual Fund has enjoyed 100% participation from parents, faculty and staff, and trustees. The spring gala, in honor of our long-time Head of School John Munro, raised a record-breaking $260,000 in one evening. In total, FCDS raised over $1.3 million last year, the largest amount of funds raised in almost a decade.
As we look ahead to an exciting new school year with our new Head of School Jon Deveaux, I ask each of you to think about how to get involved with FCDS. No contribution is too small, and if you are looking for a role to play, please contact me to discuss. Despite general challenges to independent schools, we are operating from an historic position of strength, with a world-class faculty and a visionary leader in Jon. Never in my tenure as a parent or board member have I felt so confident in our School. It is time to harness this positive momentum and take FCDS to the next level. It is time to turn the dial to 11 and we need to do that as a community. To this end, we will be reaching out next fall to engage in a community-wide discussion about our next strategic plan. This will be an opportunity for us to double down on our strengths and identify and address weaknesses and external challenges. This will be an open and inclusive process and will only be successful to the extent of your participation. I look forward to beginning this next chapter with you. With gratitude,
Patrick Shaw President, Board of Trustees
As you’ll see on the pages that follow, your loyal spirit of generosity has a direct impact on each boy’s education at FCDS. It is for this reason that our traditional Annual Report has been renamed the 2018-19 Donor Impact Report to reflect the influence of each and every donor. With this summary of financials, we graciously recognize the remarkable dedication of our community and celebrate this year of innovation and participation. FCDS | 2018-2019 | With Gratitude 1

the bronson society While every gift made to Fairfield Country Day School celebrates a spirit of generosity, the members of our leadership giving circles, The Bronson Society, exemplify a unique passion and commitment to the mission and vision of our School. In recognition of our top donors, The Bronson Society is our most prestigious donor recognition category, honoring the leadership and extraordinary support of those who give an annual gift of $5000 or more. FCDS gratefully applauds these benefactors at our annual November celebration, The Bronson Society Reception.
the 2018 bronson award It’s a special commitment of leadership, involvement, and personal resources that distinguish each Bronson Award recipient. Following the dedication of those awarded this honor in years past, Missy and Kevin Harmon continue to exemplify what it truly means to be part of The Bronson Society. As the 2018 Bronson Award recipients, the Harmons have made an indelible impact on our School in many important and lasting ways over the past decade. “The Harmons have always been willing to go above and beyond,” explains Patrick Shaw, Board President. Kevin joined the Board of Trustees in 2012 and served as Treasurer of the Board from 2016-2019. Missy volunteered in and out of the classroom and was Co-President of the Parents’ Association in 2017-2018. In addition to the time, talent and resources that the Harmons have given to FCDS, they also generously supported the 75th Anniversary Capital Campaign. We thank Missy and Kevin for their dedication to FCDS and extend our heartfelt thanks to trustee Kim Meier for graciously hosting the Bronson Society Reception for the second consecutive year.

spring 2019 fundraiser Live music, food trucks, tie-dye, and our own, John Munro, live on stage! More than 150 members of the FCDS community — parents, faculty and friends — had a backstage pass on April 26th to “The Munro Experience — Tribute Tour” to celebrate and honor John Munro’s fifteen year tenure as FCDS’ outgoing Head of School. Held at Fairfield Theater Company and staged by the FCDS Parents’ Association, the concert-themed extravaganza had party-goers rocking on the dance floor to some of John’s favorite hits. Kudos go out to our committee chairs — Amy Owens, Sarah Hale, and Kelly Scinto — for fine-tuning every last detail and gathering an awesome group of volunteers and committee chairs.
