2010 – 2011 Highlights

achievement St. James’ graduates continue to experience an excellent acceptance rate among prestigious middle schools. With a solid, early educational foundation from St. James’, our graduates excel through high school and gain acceptance to many of the country’s most sought after and competitive higher educational institutions.

The median score for St. James’ students on each ERB (Educational Records Bureau) subtest was above the median for independent school students nationwide in 2010-11. In addition, St. James’ students score higher as they spend more years at the school.

service at home and abroad Physical Education teacher Tamara Brown created a new global health curriculum for the 5th grade. Students constructed a solar oven which was then personally delivered by Ms. Brown to St. James’ sister school, St. Jacques, in Haiti.

Although the tuition for attending St. Jacques is only $50 per month, many Haitian students cannot afford even this amount. A St. James’ school-wide student initiative raised over $2,100 to help pay for these students’ education.

classroom upgrades Thanks to a generous gift from DVS Networks, nine classrooms are now outfitted with Smart Boards and a portable Smart Board is in place in St. James’ Hall. These innovative tools have a vast array of applications in every subject, are fun and motivating for students, inspire new approaches to teaching, and are effective for students with different learning styles.

The year ending June 2011 was difficult for the School in terms of operating income. With the economy still depressed, we saw a big increase in requests for tuition assistance. We tried to help to the extent we could as we do not like to see students who are doing well at the school having to drop out. Giving to the Annual Fund was down from the previous year, although income from restricted donations and special events was higher. In addition, we were faced with some exceptional expenses as we sought an interim Head and a new permanent Head following the retirement of Mr. Bowers, as well as a new Development Director. The result was that we ended the year with an operating loss of $197,911. Fortunately we have strong reserves and favourable stock and bond markets meant that the increase in the value of our reserves more than offset the operating loss.

I would like to thank all those who gave to the Annual Fund or made donations for special purposes. We will be reaching out to you again this year. Tuition fees do not cover operating costs so a healthy Annual Fund is essential. We also need help to continue to improve the School’s facilities. Donations were largely responsible for the new Science and Art Rooms which have given us wonderfuly improved opportunities for teaching and learning. We believe the new Preschool is equally important.

g i v i n g t o s t. j a m e s ’ 2 0 1 0 – 2 0 1 1 Annual Giving provides vital resources which add fuel to the engine of excellence. With no government subsidy, St. James’ is financed by a combination of tuition, private donations and endowment income, because the actual cost of providing such an enriched educational experience exceeds what is reasonably considered to be an affordable tuition.

Annual Giving totaled $429,870. In addition, $229,617 was received in grants and donations for special programs. Special events yielded $76,508, and the dynamic Parent Support Fellowship raised $74,356 (all numbers unaudited).

Congratulations and thank you to everyone who contributed to these successful efforts.

S t r e n g t h e n i n g s t. j a m e s ’ t h r o u g h t h e e n d o w m e n t f u n d Financial stability has never been more on the minds of everyday Americans than it is today, both with respect to individual lives as well as to small and large organizations which make up the fabric of society. In 2008, even before the recent downturn in the economy, St. James’ Board of Trustees had the foresight to launch an Endowment Fund in order to fortify the school’s distinguished legacy of quality education and to help sustain the school through inevitable, cyclical ups and downs in the financial markets. Building the Endowment Fund is crucial to the overall success of St. James’ by:

m a i n ta i n i n g e c o n o m i c diversity in the student body

providing children with the l at e s t t e c h n o l o gy S e c u r i n g e x c e l l e n t f a c u lt y a n d s ta f f upgrading our facilities and much more...

Please consider becoming part of the St. James’ legacy by giving generously to the St. James’ Episcopal School Endowment Fund.

Donations to the Endowment Fund may be designated or unrestricted, and the principal of the gift remains intact in perpetuity, allowing the donation to have an immediate as well as long term impact on the lives of countless children.

24

t h a n k y o u s t. j a m e s ’ d o n o r s The total gifts and pledges to the Endowment Fund from inception in 2008 through June 30, 2011 stand at $1,007,027 (unaudited).

We express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have made visionary endowment gifts to enhance the present and secure the future of St. James’.
