DOING GOOD AND GETTING BETTER

Occasionally, when I’m asked how I am doing, my response is, “I’m doing good and getting better.” Frequently, that response produces an unintended inquiry about my health. When I say, “I’m doing good and getting better,” I am not referencing physical, mental, emotional, financial, or even spiritual well-being. Doing good refers to my actively seeking to wake up every morning to do good. And as a result, I'm getting better, because better seems to come my way even in distressed times.

Doing good yields improvement, advances excellence, and surrenders obedience to God’s word, His will, and His way. In many ways, DGGB exemplifies the journey of St. Philip’s from a church to a school and center of community. Our mighty impact on these anointed soils has yielded incredible academic results against significant odds. The services provided to our South Dallas neighbors have empowered hundreds of

thousands to overcome challenges, navigate through adversity, and rise above blight, poverty, despair, and nihilism, enabling them to achieve stability and a brighter future.

God’s calling is for us to do good. His faithfulness yields the getting better that is manifested daily at the ministry of St. Philip’s. Sacrifical parents, dedicated and committed faculty and staff, along with donors and volunteers, all doing good, equal better outcomes.

In my 40 years of service at St. Philip’s, I have witnessed an unrelenting campaign of doing good. The collective of those who play a part in helping to advance our mission brings me undeniable confidence that we are not only getting better… Our best is yet to come.

Dr. Terry J. Flowers, Perot Family Headmaster

Doing good yields improvement, advances excellence, and surrenders obedience to God’s word, His will, and His way.

Psalm 1:3 gives the imagery of a thriving tree. It thrives because it has been firmly planted, bears fruit, and prospers. In the 2023-2024 school year, the St. Philip's Village is determined to be rooted and grounded in our Faith. As our creed states, success is our right and failure our option. Our indestructible Faith, along with commitment to excellence and service, propels us toward prospering, thriving, and succeeding. We know that the foundation of a thriving school begins with an impenetrable relationship with God and our community.

Exciting growth and expansion are underway at St. Philip's. Our vibrant community is flourishing, overflowing with energy and enthusiasm. Since 2015, our enrollment has grown by almost 50 percent, and our family retention has increased by nearly 20 percent . We are excited to have over 280 students enrolled this school year, with 45 faculty dedicated to student success in and out of the classroom. We are trending towards even greater enrollment numbers for the years to come.

Included in our growth is the addition of our new Early Childhood Director, Sheila Abio. She is a passionate educational administrator with over 15 years of experience. As a leader, her strength, genuine affection for preschool children, and unwavering dedication to the St. Philip's mission create the optimal blend of qualities to guide our youngest learners toward achieving their very best.

He will be like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers. Psalms 1:3

The expansion to a comprehensive middle school program has allowed the inclusion of 7th and 8th-grade Athletics, 8th-grade Writing, as well as College Board Pre-AP Math and English I. This enhancement provides our students with the additional academic rigor essential for their preparation for high school. With the success of our first High School Fair, our students are prepared to excel and let their light shine no matter where their life after St. Philip's leads them. The class of 2024 is a shining example of our graduate profile tenets. They are intellectually driven, Christ-centered, servant leaders who are confident, and culturally aware! We are convinced that they are poised and ready to change the world from the moment they leave St. Philip's hallowed halls.

THRIVING TOGETHER

A JOYFUL PLACE TO START

Greetings from the happiest place on earth, St. Philip’s EC program! Many of our students are experiencing their first time in a school setting and I am so proud of how they come to school each day, eager to learn and to develop important foundational skills.

Every day is special at St. Philip’s, beginning with Chapel. Through prayer, song, and God’s infinite love, our students, staff, and community thrive in every way! We are instilling a foundation for our youngest children through the belief that with God, we can do hard things and achieve great success. Students are learning essential skills in all content areas that will prepare them for a rigorous academic learning path at St. Philip’s and in life.

Our early childhood teachers are among the best I have had the pleasure of working with throughout my career. Their love, compassion and joy for their students is truly heartwarming. They are masters of differentiated instruction and cater experiences to meet each child where they are.

My life has been blessed by the St. Philip’s community, and I am immensely grateful and honored to lead and inspire this very special department. We have so much to look forward to and we welcome your presence and participation always!

- Sheila Abio, Hunt Family Early Childhood Director

A MESSAGE TO PARENTS

Parents often ask what they can do to help their children thrive. As George Santayana says, “A child educated only at school is an uneducated child.” In addition to helping your child with homework and preparation for tests, there are other ways to enrich their educational experience.

When children are born, parents meet their physical and emotional needs and begin teaching them skills that will lead to their lifelong success. As they grow, remember to take every opportunity to increase their knowledge.

Combined with classroom instruction, this is how we can thrive together!

1) Read with them to improve their vocabulary

2) Visit geographical locations and historical landmarks to increase their knowledge of the world

3) Incorporate math through real-life situations

4) Encourage physical activity and exposure to the arts

- Jacquelyn Andrews, Lower School and Middle School Prep

ONWARD & UPWARD

The Middle School Expansion... what a fantastic journey! The middle school program passionately embodies the school's theme, "Thriving Together," fostering a dynamic community of growth and collaboration. The students are guided by dedicated educators who cultivate an environment that values inclusivity, empathy, and resilience. Through engaging activities and projects, they foster a culture of mutual support, where rigorous learning is an opportunity to strengthen and stretch students. Encouraging teamwork, the middle school program instills the values of respect, integrity, and perseverance, nurturing a sense of belonging and collective accomplishment. Empowering each student's unique potential, the middle school program inspires a shared commitment to excellence, fostering a vibrant culture of cooperation and achievement.

The new teachers have seamlessly integrated into the middle school team, bringing fresh perspectives and innovative teaching methods to enrich the learning experiences for the students. They also embrace the school's "Thriving Together" ethos, quickly becoming integral members cultivating a cohesive and supportive learning community.

As we look forward, we are excited for the spring as we will graduate our first first 8th grade class. Ushering them off to enter high school, we know they are prepared and ready to compete and meet the celebrations and challenges of Life After St. Philip's.

- Dr. Shaunaisea Henderson, Middle School Director

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ARTS

The Fine Arts and Specials Department has begun the school year fresh, new, and thriving for sure! We are so excited to have Jorge Guevara teaching 1st-8th grade Spanish, Amber Harris teaching 1st-5th grade Art, Amanda Woodard teaching Middle School Art, and Casey Bruce teaching 1st-8th grade PE. Additionally, under the guidance of Donovan Smith, our Interim Athletics Director, our student athletes are also thriving indeed.

*Amanda Woodard not pictured

This year our aim is to maintain the caliber of excellence our program is known for, while also contending with a greater student population. This means an expansion of our programming with shrinking space. We are so thankful for the creative thinking that has led us to partner with the South Dallas Cultural Center for auxiliary classroom space for our Technical Theater class. This collaboration has allowed the students to have access to a black box theater and learn the art of production with the expertise of teaching artists provided by Broadway Dallas! The students have been completely enthralled in the world of theater behind the curtain!

It is partnerships such as these where we see the greatest evidence of thriving beyond our walls. As we patiently anticipate the groundbreaking of our performing arts center, it is our mission to ensure the excellence of our programming never stops. This year we found that community partners are a vital key to our success. We welcome all of the many hands that make the work light! Interested in becoming involved? Please don't hesitate to contact the school and ask for the Fine Arts Director.

MIDDLE SCHOOLERS NAVIGATE BIBLE TEACHINGS

At St. Philip’s, a transformative exploration into the sacred pages of the Bible unfold for our middle schoolers. Initiated in 2022 with a group of curious 7th graders, the Middle School Bible Class has become a dynamic space for spiritual growth, intellectual exploration, and personal development.

This expedition through the Bible begins with Genesis, weaving through the tapestry of biblical narratives, unraveling tales of creation and purpose. Today, the 8th graders are immersed in the profound teachings of the Book of Romans. Christopher Francois , the guiding force behind this academic and spiritual odyssey, notes the significant progress in the students' understanding of scripture.

"It starts with me leading," says Mr. Francois, "then as they gain more information, they're able to share more and lead more in discussions. The growth is evident in their homilies." These studentpresented reflections in Chapel showcase not only their biblical knowledge but also their evolving depth of understanding and connection with the scriptures.

Unlike conventional classes, the Middle School Bible Class thrives in a relaxed structure where grades are not the focal point. Mr. Francois believes in fostering an environment where students can freely explore the Bible and compare different versions, allowing them to connect with the text on a personal level.

In Mr. Francois' words, "The 8th graders especially are showing more depth in their understanding of the scripture. Not just surface-level insights but a profound exploration of what the verses truly convey."

Mr. Francois, a former youth pastor, brings a unique blend of spiritual insight and educational expertise to the class. "Jesus led his ministry with compassion and love," he emphasizes, "and it should be a note that we carry as Christians that it’s not our responsibility to judge."

The class delves into the profound idea that God's love is universal, not confined to select individuals.

"Our role is to love and show what love can look like," Mr. Francois expresses, "as well as what love

doesn’t look like." Through these teachings, students grasp the impactful connection between their actions, the portrayal of Christ's love, and the curiosity others might develop about the Christian faith.

Mr. Francois wears multiple hats at St. Philip's, serving as the 5th and 6th grade math teacher and the visionary guide of the 7th and 8th grade Bible class. With a decade of experience in education and a background from the Dallas Theological Seminary, his passion for holistic student development shines through in every lesson.

The 8th graders especially are showing more depth in their understanding of the scripture. Not just surface-level insights but a profound exploration of what the verses truly convey.

VOICES OF THE JOURNEY: STUDENT TESTIMONIES

Jonathan Lax, an 8th grade student, reflects on the evolution of the class, which he says reminds him of his youth group at church. "At first, we were studying history and going over Genesis, but now we're doing Romans and just learning about faith and progressing in our Christian lives."

Eden Murrell, another 8th grade student, draws a distinction, "In church, you have a sermon and go over every book of the Bible. In this class, you can take more time on one book of the Bible specifically."

In this vibrant academic and spiritual sanctuary, the Middle School Bible Class at St. Philip's becomes a testament to the synergy of faith, knowledge, and personal growth. It's not merely a class; it's an expedition into the soul of the scriptures, shaping young minds into thoughtful, compassionate, and informed individuals on their Christian journey.

Community Impact

EMPOWERING TOMORROW'S LEADERS

In a dynamic new initiative, Guys Night Out, 1st through 12th grade boys from our school and broader community are embarking on a transformative journey, guided by the wisdom of men from Dallas Professionals. This collaborative effort aims to cultivate a profound understanding of manhood, nurturing the next generation of community influencers.

Dallas Professionals, a collective of accomplished Black men, passionately engages in community outreach to connect with and positively influence youth. Drawing from their diverse expertise across various industries, these professionals serve as invaluable role models for our scholars. Their impact extends far beyond our institution and reaches into low-income areas where the presence of successful Black mentors proves to be transformative.

Steven Harris, a member of Dallas Professionals and former Saints athlete, says their mission is to inspire mankind through good deeds. They strive to be an example of men that work, care for their families, and create time to use their skills for the enrichment of their communities.

Steven played community basketball and football at St. Philip’s and sees himself in our boys.

We talk about important stuff, learning about how to become a man before we actually experience it. - Kasen Brooks 4th grader

Earlier this year, Steven and another member selected St. Philip’s as the recipient of their services with the intention of building a multi-year legacy. He expressed his joy in partnering with Dr. Flowers to bring their group to our campus. “This school did so much for my life. When I mentioned coming here, it was just like coming home.”

Through hands-on activities and conversations, the boys gain a holistic understanding of leadership rooted in humility, compassion, and service to others. Thank you to the men who have chosen to dedicate their time to pour into the youth! We’re excited to now offer boy-focused programming that is compatible with the Girls Night Out program we’ve had for years.

CELEBRATING LIFE: A SENIOR TRADITION

In a celebration of life and a testament to the vibrant spirit of our senior community, the Senior Soirée unfolded as a delightful event that left a mark on the hearts of all attendees. Against the backdrop of shared laughter, dance, and genuine fellowship, our cherished senior members gathered to create a day filled with joy and lasting memories.

As the music played and the dance floor became a stage for the lively spirits, the event became a celebration of the beauty found in every phase of life. The occasion was not just about dance; it was a manifestation of the strong bonds that have been woven over the years within our senior community. With over 50 attendees, friendships were rekindled, and new connections were formed. As we reflect, let it serve as an inspiration to us all—a reminder that, regardless of our age, every day is a chance to celebrate life, to dance, and to embrace the precious moments that create the fabric of our shared journey. Thank you to The Soul Inspirational Line Dancers and the spirited individuals who made it an evening to remember!

SUMMER EXTRAVAGANZA!

At St. Philip's, summer is not just a season; it's a time of unforgettable experiences. This year's Summer Camp proved to be nothing short of spectacular, with a lineup of activities that had our campers feeling fantastic, terrific, great, all-day-long! From sports clinics to creative workshops and rhythmic percussion sessions, every moment was infused with the spirit of adventure.

HIGHLIGHTS

Fresh and Flavorful: Our friends at Brighter Bites added a burst of freshness to the first half of summer, delivering weekly doses of farm-fresh produce. It was a healthy and delicious start to our action-packed days; and students got hands-on experience, helping to package and distribute the items.

Lego Mania with Patrick and friends: A week of Lego camps led by Patrick Flanagan and his buddies inspired our scholars to unleash their imagination and build masterpieces. From towering structures to intricate designs, the Lego camps were a hit among our budding architects.

Sports Clinics that Scored Big: Lacrosse and volleyball players were in for a treat as they honed their skills and gained confidence during clinics led by seasoned pros. The energy on the field and the courts was contagious, creating an environment where young athletes thrived. We look forward to hosting additional sports camps throughout the year.

Percussion Ensemble: Watch our stellar students put on a show with beats that resonate and rhythms that captivate – our student percussion ensemble is the heartbeat of creativity.

Shout-out

TO OUR SUMMER HEROES

A heartfelt thank you to our Americorps summer staff members, whose dedication and hard work made this summer truly special for our young adventurers. Your commitment did not go unnoticed, and the impact on our camp community was immeasurable.

Venturing BEYOND CAMPUS

Kids Across America (KAA) Kamps: Several of our students explored new horizons by participating in off-campus summer camps like Kids Across America. This Christian sports camp empowered our youth and instilled leadership qualities that have the potential to revolutionize their communities.

Camp Champions Bound: Thanks to a generous discount, we proudly sent ten St. Philip's students to Camp Champions, a premier overnight summer camp in Texas. Nestled in the heart of nature, Camp Champions offered a two-week escape from the ordinary—an opportunity for our students to immerse themselves in a world of indoor and outdoor adventures, free from electronic distractions.

We extend our gratitude to everyone who contributed to another successful St. Philip's Summer. It's moments like these that define the essence of community.

CELEBRATING A WIN FOR SOUTH DALLAS: $800,000 EPA GRANT FUELS TRANSFORMATION

On August 31st, a wave of excitement and gratitude swept over St. Philip’s School and Community Center in South Dallas as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), joined by Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) and Dallas Councilmember Adam Bazaldua, announced a game-changing grant of $800,000.

This grant, made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law as part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda, is earmarked for the assessment and cleanup of brownfield sites in the South Dallas Forest District. Why is this such a big deal? Well, it's not just about cleaning up spaces; it's about fostering growth, community vitality, and breaking free from decades of environmental injustice.

Thanks, EPA, for a victory in South Dallas!

Dr. Earthea Nance, EPA Regional Administrator, couldn't be more thrilled: "EPA’s Brownfield grants have transformed neighborhoods across the country, and thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, communities have more money than ever to invest in assessing and cleaning up abandoned properties."

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) expressed her gratitude, highlighting the significance of addressing historical disparities: "For too long, affluent, white communities have been kept clean at the expense of Black neighborhoods. Brownfield grants like this for Dallas’ St. Philip’s are an important step towards undoing the harm of this policy for current and future generations of Dallas residents."

And the Headmaster and Executive Director, Dr. Terry J. Flowers, sees this grant as a monumental step in dismantling environmental injustices in South Dallas: "Thanks, EPA, for a victory in South Dallas!"

Councilmember Adam Bazaldua (District 7) shared his excitement for the positive impact this grant will have on improving the neighborhood and bridging historical gaps: "I look forward to seeing how this grant will be used to help revitalize Sunny South Dallas."

This grant builds on St. Philip’s previous successes in assessing, cleaning up, and revitalizing surrounding sites, including the transformation of the WeCreation Center from a former nightclub contaminated by dry-cleaner facilities. The newest grant will fund more environmental assessments and plans for cleanup and reuse of other sites, including retail buildings on Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd, aiming to boost economic development and provide opportunities for small businesses.

The historic $1.5 billion boost from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is propelling EPA’s Brownfield Program to make a significant impact in historically overburdened communities. This program aligns with President Biden’s Justice40 Initiative, directing benefits to disadvantaged communities.

We're excited about the positive changes this grant will bring to South Dallas, and we can't wait to witness the continued transformation and revitalization. Stay tuned for more updates on this incredible journey! Cheers to progress and positive change in South Dallas!

UNITY IN ACTION

COMMUNITY CLEANUP

At our Fall Community Cleanup, a team of 50 volunteers joined forces to turn an ordinary Saturday into a day of impactful transformation. Teams from St. Andrew Methodist Church and Top Ladies of Distinction took charge of two sites, channeling their energy into revitalizing spaces that needed a touch of care.

One heartwarming highlight was the collective effort to rejuvenate the property of a longtime neighbor. Overgrown and in need of attention, his space was transformed into a source of pride with the hard work of our volunteers. His gratitude was visible as he beamed with pride - a testament to the positive impact these community initiatives can have on individuals.

The largest group, The Young Guns Class of 2023 from The Real Estate Council, took on a significant challenge—renovating a former liquor store on Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. Their dedication went beyond the building, extending to the surrounding area, including the athletic fields. The culmination of their efforts was met with not only a sense of accomplishment but also a well-deserved lunch, fostering fellowship among volunteers and staff.

A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors: Gold Auto Recycling , providing essential dumpster containers, and Sharon Redd of Dave Perry Miller Real Estate, underwriting a delicious lunch for our hardworking volunteers. These sponsors play a crucial role in making community cleanups like these possible, infusing vibrancy and pride into our neighborhood.

As rakes and shovels met overgrown areas and dumpsters were filled, the Fall Community Cleanup was more than a physical transformation—it was a collective investment in the well-being and vitality of our community. The echoes of gratitude from our neighbors and the sense of accomplishment among volunteers serve as a reminder that together, we THRIVE.

Anointed Soil

In the spirit of gratitude, the St. Philip's community came together just before Thanksgiving for a day of collective action. Together, we embarked on a mission to enhance the beauty of our school, giving thanks for the anointed soil that sustains the vibrant life within St. Philip's.

The campus buzzed with activity as dedicated staff and volunteers, including students, parents, and Friends of St. Philip's, gathered with a shared purpose. Planting vibrant flowers and shrubs became a canvas of artistic expression, while mulching and weeding flower beds symbolized the care and attention we collectively pour into our beloved school. Campus cleanup activities were not just about tidying up; they were about fostering an environment that mirrors the warmth and unity of our community.

To all who lent a hand, planted a seed, or simply shared in the joy of the day, your commitment to St. Philip's is deeply appreciated. Let the beauty we cultivated on this day serve as a lasting reminder of what can be achieved when we come together in celebration of our community and the growth that lies ahead.

Thanksgiving

WITH A TWIST

This year has been unique in many ways! In lieu of our traditional Thanksgiving Feast, we adopted a drive-thru style event, inviting pantry clients and members of the community to join us at Aunt Bette’s Community Pantry. On the Monday before Thanksgiving, we came together to serve in an impactful way. Volunteers contributed by cooking, packaging meals, assisting shoppers, writing notes and more.

The numbers tell a story of compassion in action: a total of 320 drive-thru plates were served, 40 clients shopped during their bi-weekly appointment, and over 200 emergency bundles were distributed, offering vital support to those facing unexpected challenges.

Alumnus Courtney Jackson proudly showcasing the generous donation from the Home Depot food drive alongside his team member, pantry staff and students from Jesuit Preparatory School.

The success of the event was not just measured in numbers but in the smiles shared, the warmth exchanged, and the collective effort to make Thanksgiving a bit more cheerful. Volunteers, donors, and participants alike played a crucial role in making this day truly special.

A heartfelt thank you to all who signed up and served. Your dedication ensured that Thanksgiving was a day of abundance. As we reflect, let it be a reminder that, together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of those around us. Your generosity has touched the hearts of many and created lasting memories for all involved. Kudos to our Community Advancement team for another successful event!

COMMUNITY PANTRY

AUNT BETTE’S IS GROWING

Amidst a spirit of compassion and community, St. Philip’s School and Community Center proudly unveiled the transformation of Aunt Bette’s Community Food Pantry in a heartwarming rededication ceremony on November 7. The newly renovated facility stands as a beacon of hope, and is poised to extend its reach and serve even more families in the neighborhood.

The occasion spotlighted the essential contributions of families, foundations, partners, and dedicated volunteers who form the backbone of the pantry. The Rev. Paul Rasmussen , senior pastor at Highland Park United Methodist Church, opened the ceremony with an invocation that acknowledged the efforts of many organizations that made the pantry possible. Crucial to the expansion was HPUMC’s contribution, the largest gift from a church that St. Philip’s has received to date.

The larger facility at 3202 Holmes Street, situated across the street from its predecessor, comes at a crucial time of escalating food prices and heightened demand for nutritional support, as emphasized by Trisha Cunningham , CEO of the North Texas Food Bank, a key partner of the pantry. The interior of the new building resembles a grocery store in an effort to restore dignity to those who are vulnerable to hunger.

Guiding the celebratory event was Alfreda Norman , a friend and foundation board member. Nancy E. Perot , former WE BELIEVE campaign co-chair, joined Bill Addy of The Addy Foundation in sharing insightful remarks about the profound impact of Aunt Bette and the collaborative space within the new building. The Addy Foundation’s generous contribution helped establish a dedicated collaboration room which provides clients with a space to engage with partner organizations offering expanded community services. The pantry, bearing the name of the late Margaret “Bette” Perot, stands as a tribute to her tireless advocacy against hunger. It was commemorated with the renaming in 2019 following a significant $2 million gift from the Perot family to endow the community pantry and sustain its future. The hope was that the gift would be leveraged to secure matching gifts and funds to support its needs today, which it has been successful in doing.

The updated space now features a "nudge kitchen," inspired by similar concepts in neighboring pantries, designed to create dishes using vegetables and other ingredients that may often be overlooked on the shelves. The aim is to encourage individuals to integrate these items into their meals. The nudge kitchen is a tribute to dedicated volunteer Peggy Anshutz

FEATURE STORY

What we know now as a client-choice food pantry was once a small closet on the school's campus in 1988 to help families and children experiencing food insecurity. In 2015, the pantry moved to a brick-and-mortar store near the school, which served more than 600 families each year. Currently, it serves over 850 families annually. The expansion has allowed the pantry to serve another zip code, bringing the total to three, and has extended its reach to an additional 103 families.

The rededication concluded with the Rev. Dr. Mark Anshutz , retired rector of Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, offering a blessing for the new building, the individuals it serves, and the dedicated staff and friends who support its mission.

In a dynamic era of transformation, South Dallas and the St. Philip's community are evolving right before our eyes. We are brimming with energy and enthusiasm.

LACROSSE

This year, lacrosse re-emerged as a sport gaining momentum and popularity. Coach Fletcher, the esteemed Director of Athletics, expresses his enthusiasm for the growth of lacrosse, a testament to the diversified sports offerings at St. Philip's.

This semester, St. Philip's hosted two lacrosse clinics, providing students with valuable exposure to the sport's dynamics and techniques. Looking ahead, the vision is to elevate lacrosse engagement further, with plans to conduct two clinics monthly in collaboration with the Bridge Lacrosse League.

A pivotal boost to the lacrosse program came in the form of a generous $60,000 grant from the Stephen D. Menzies Rising Youth Athletics Foundation.

This funding empowers St. Philip's to enhance training facilities, acquire equipment, and create an enriching lacrosse experience for our students.

Guiding our lacrosse enthusiasts are two accomplished coaches, Coach Kenny Hooper and Coach Lewis Flanagan. Coach Hooper, with a lacrosse background at the University of Minnesota, brings a wealth of knowledge and passion for the game. Meanwhile, Coach Flanagan, a lacrosse alum of Johns Hopkins University, infuses the team with expertise and a dedication to nurturing young talent.

The lacrosse journey at St. Philip's is not just about sport but also about fostering values of teamwork, discipline, and a love for healthy competition. As lacrosse regains traction within our athletic repertoire, St. Philip's continues to provide diverse opportunities for students to explore and excel in their sporting endeavors. The future of lacrosse at St. Philip's is indeed bright, promising, and ready to leave a lasting mark on our school's athletic legacy.

FOOTBALL

In the dynamic realm of St. Philip's athletics, football has become a beacon of achievement and inclusivity. Headed by the passionate Coach Fletcher, the Director of Athletics, the football program witnessed remarkable growth and success this year.

Fielding four different teams, our football enthusiasts showcased their skills, resilience, and sportsmanship throughout the season. A significant milestone was reached as the flag football team, representing St. Philip's, advanced to the championship game, marking an achievement celebrated across our school community.

What makes this year truly special is the increased participation of around 85 students, including a substantial number of Hispanic children from the surrounding neighborhoods.

For the first time, young talents from the Hispanic community joined our football teams, fostering diversity and inclusivity within our sports programs. This milestone speaks to the commitment of St. Philip's to provide opportunities for all students to engage in the thrill of athletic competition.

As we reflect on the accomplishments of our football program this year, we are excited to announce the return of football in the spring, offering students the chance to continue playing in the second semester. This strategic move aligns with our dedication to providing comprehensive athletic experiences throughout the academic year.

We extend our gratitude to our remarkable team of 15 football coaches whose guidance and mentorship have been instrumental in shaping the success of our teams. St. Philip's is proud to be part of the American Youth Football League (AYF), where our athletes demonstrate not just their prowess on the field but the values of teamwork, discipline, and resilience.

The gridiron excitement continues, and we eagerly anticipate the next chapter of St. Philip's football in the upcoming spring season!

VOLLEYBALL

Our talented volleyball players, under the exceptional leadership of Coach Toyota Morrison, secured their spot in the playoffs with an impressive 8-4 record. The season's crescendo unfolded as they showcased not just their skills but the indomitable spirit that defines St. Philip's athletics.

Adding a glittering touch to this achievement, we extend a heartfelt shout-out to two exceptional athletes, Serenity Collins and Desirae Bedford These dynamic players have not only been instrumental in the team's success but have also earned the distinguished honor of making the AllStar Team for the IAA League. Their exceptional talents and sportsmanship set a high standard for our volleyball program.

In a year marked by explosive energy and unparalleled spirit, St. Philip's Cheer and Dance squad illuminated teamwork. They showcased their talent and dedication on various prestigious platforms.

The Battle at the Star was a particular highlight, bringing together flag football players and cheerleaders who added an extra layer of excitement to the event, all thanks to the generous support of the Lewis Foundation.

The cheerleaders also gave a remarkable performance at the Cheer and Dance Competition held at Timberview High School on October 29. The results spoke volumes about their dedication and proficiency. The 4U Cheer squad soared to new heights, clinching the 1st place title. In the 8U category, both Cheer and Dance teams left their mark, with 3rd place for Cheer and a resounding 1st place for Dance. The 12U Cheer team also shone brightly, securing a well-deserved 2nd place.

Another big stop on the team’s journey was their stellar show at Regionals on November 19th, where their outstanding performance secured them a hard-earned 1st place for the 8U cheer category and an impressive 2nd place for the 12U cheer division and 8U dance division.

Noteworthy is the substantial increase in cheer participation, reaching a record 63 girls this year, a testament to the growing popularity of the cheering and dance program. Coach Tosheia Smith, at the helm of this spirited ensemble, expresses immense pride in retaining cheerleaders over the years, with some having embarked on their cheering journey at the age of four and now gracing the 12U team.

The true power behind this year's success lies in the fantastic team effort. Coach Smith is thrilled about the significant growth in volunteer support, surging from 5 volunteers to an incredible 21 this year. This not only speaks volumes about the community's enthusiasm but also ensures a flourishing future for St. Philip's cheerleading program.

As the cheers echo and the spirit soars, St. Philip's cheerleaders continue to redefine excellence, leaving an indelible mark on every stage they grace. The journey is thrilling, and the applause welldeserved.

CURATORIAL CANVAS: ALUMNA EXPLORES THE ART OF CURATION

In the enchanting world of art curation, Class of 2009 alumna Clarke Brown is redefining the boundaries of what's possible in the realm of art and culture. Clarke graduated from Plano West Senior High School and matriculated through Spelman College where she received a Bachelor of Arts in History in 2019. This foundation set the stage for her remarkable academic pursuits as she went on to pursue her graduate studies at New York University, receiving a master’s degree in museum studies. Most recently, she enriched her impressive educational background by completing a curatorial fellowship at the LSU Museum of Art in Baton Rouge, LA.

Her inspiring path was sparked by her passion for researching the intersections between African American history, art, and culture. Initially her journey began by getting involved with the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art and joining the Curatorial Studies Program, which aims to prepare more students of color to enter museum professions.

She expressed her views on the significance of increasing diversity within the museum profession. “As a young person I didn't frequent art museums, and I wasn't aware that working in an institution could be a career option. Being a museum professional sparked my interest because I learned that art can present various perspectives that are visually engaging.”

Clarke's curatorial practice focuses on cultivating experiences by sharing histories to bridge societal gaps, raise awareness, and promote dialogue across various disciplines through modern and contemporary art. “Diversity within the profession is essential to ensuring that all perspectives and communities are represented in collections, exhibitions, and programming practices.”

What Clarke loves most about her career is the opportunity to meet people from all backgrounds who challenge and encourage new ways of thinking through art. Recognizing the profession is making progress, she notes the importance of ensuring the accessibility to educational training and the significance in creating diverse environments within institutions to reflect their immediate communities.

Looking back on her journey, Clarke credits St. Philip's for instilling values that have driven her throughout her life. The belief in dreaming big, giving one's best, giving back to the community, and never stopping the pursuit of knowledge have been guiding stars in her curatorial voyage. In the future she plans to contiinue her work as a curator, with the possibility of returning to graduate school to pursue a PhD in Art History.

Today, Clarke holds the position of Art Museum Curator at the Clark Atlanta University Art Museum in Atlanta, Georgia. Her role is a testament and an inspiring example of how art can bridge divides, inspire dialogue, and showcase the rich tapestry of our history and culture.

LIFE AFTER ST. PHILIP'S

CROWNING GLORY: ST. PHILIP'S ALUMNA BECOMES HBCU QUEEN

Hampton University crowned alumna Hannah Selders, Class of 2016, as the 66th Miss Hampton University. Remarkably, she not only stood out as the sole contestant to receive four trophies but also secured multiple first place awards in individual categories. Particularly noteworthy was her exceptional performance in the talent category where she showcased her violin skills.

Next year, she will complete her final year in a 5-year MBA program at Hampton University, and she will graduate with two business degrees. She is currently a Toyota PUSH Fellow and has interned with the company every summer during her undergraduate experience. She plans to prioritize employment offers from Toyota as she considers the other offers others that have come her way.

Hannah’s long-term career goal is to fuse her love for fashion with her skillset and experience in business marketing and brand management to launch a career supporting high-end international fashion brands.

How can you not be a Queen, when you were taught by Queens and Kings!

Hannah with the Vice President Kamala Harris

“Every new day in this role, I discover new meaning and new responsibility. The Royal Court is a big deal at HBCUs and a major part of the history and legacy of historically Black college culture. I’m very honored to represent my school and fellow students, the Hampton community, and young college women across the world. I'm also very proud to represent my family and village and acknowledge I would not be here without them.”

St. Philip's is where my confidence was nurtured, my leadership skills were enhanced, my musical talent was celebrated, and some of my best friendships were developed. St. Philip's conditioned me to be a leader by giving me real-life practice at a very young age, by putting me on a stage and giving me the tools necessary to speak, perform, and compete.

She recognizes that many people view crowns as symbols of status, authority, or perfection, “I’m determined to wear this crown as a representation of determination, faith, community, love, and hard work.” The platform she’s chosen for her reign is L.E.A.D., an acronym she developed to encourage others to lead by Loving, Encouraging, and Accepting Differences. “As a young woman who has successfully tackled school, classical music, and life, with a learning difference, serving in this role

Dr. Flowers and the rest of my St. Philip's family set a bar of excellence and continue to support and encourage me to reach for the stars!

as the 66th Miss Hampton University gives me the opportunity to LEAD by example in educating others and promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, collective work, and commitment to serving my community.”

“Every time someone sees me in my crown, I want it to serve as a reminder that, 'The sky is the limit if we just put our mind in it!'"

WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT OUR ALUMNI ARE UP TO AND ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THEY ARE ACCOMPLISHING.

Village Strong

VOLUNTEER GROUPS

Sendero has long been a steadfast ally in our journey towards a stronger, more vibrant village. This year marked another chapter in the rich partnership between St. Philip's and Sendero, and the impact was nothing short of transformative. Their engagement commenced with vital tasks like shredding important documents and updating various technological facets across our campus. Their commitment extended beyond the school gates, as they meticulously crafted a digital map of our community triangle, delineating the diverse developmental initiatives flourishing in our surroundings.

SENDERO

However, this school year witnessed a deeper level of involvement. Courtney Weppner, Sendero's dedicated volunteer coordinator, orchestrated a range of initiatives that spanned both campus and community. The volunteers from Sendero brought their energy to Aunt Bette’s Community Pantry, where they played an instrumental role in stocking shelves and assisting clients with their shopping. Simultaneously, on campus, they orchestrated the organization of our gymnasium and contributed to the enhancement of various software and technologies.

Weppner, reflecting on her role as an Analyst at Sendero, shared, "I initially joined Sendero Cares, our employee-driven philanthropy committee, because I was interested in learning more about local service opportunities and spending time giving back to the Dallas community."

Sendero's collaboration with St. Philip's was sparked by the vision of Margertree Holmes, Chief Community Advancement Officer, aligning with Sendero's commitment to being a force for good in the community. This alliance has blossomed into a multi-faceted partnership, with Sendero not only completing two Rock projects but also actively participating in various volunteer events at St. Philip's.

As they continue to illuminate the path of community service, Sendero stands as a testament to the Village Strong spirit, embodying the belief that collective effort creates lasting impact. We extend our deepest gratitude to Sendero for being a beacon of support and service in our community.

KIMBERLY-CLARK

What started as a friendship and partnership between our leaders in the philanthropy department resulted in volunteers from Kimberly-Clark, a repeat guest at the annual Destiny Awards, participating in the cherished tradition of Drop Everything and Read time, sharing the joy of literature with our students. Inspired by the spirit of service, Kimberly-Clark extended their support beyond the classroom. The dedicated team lent a helping hand in Aunt Bette's Community Pantry and contributed to the ongoing mission of providing essential resources to our neighbors in need.

St. Philip's expresses heartfelt gratitude to Kimberly-Clark for not only embracing our educational initiatives but also for immersing themselves in the hands-on service that propels our communityforward mission. Such partnerships exemplify the transformative power of collective efforts in fostering a brighter future for all.

ERNST & YOUNG

What started out as a simple volunteer day eight years ago has blossomed into an endearing partnership with a dynamic group of employees from Ernst & Young . EY Connect Days are quarterly days of service, when all EY people in the Americas can volunteer together to support EY Ripples, their global corporate responsibility program. Joined by employees from Toyota , this wonderful group emerged on our campus for EY Connect Day on Friday, November 3, 2023, with 120 volunteers to again create lasting impact in and around our campus. Tasked with some major sweat equity projects, this amazing group, led by Kevin Muskat , current parent Emoni Wicks , Sukky Agbomeji , Darwin Johnson and Anthony Watkins , accomplished the grand undertaking of prepping our campus and the new food pantry location for the rededication event that took place on Tuesday, November 7th. From planting flowers, mowing, weed eating, staging, stocking, and organizing, there wasn’t a task left undone. There’s no denying that EY and Toyota are true forces for change in the Dallas community. We are ever so thankful for their continued commitment to St. Philip’s mission and vision.

MAPLE MARK BANK

MapleMark Bank, a faithful ally for the past two years, exemplifies the essence of collaborative community engagement. Mr. Jorge Perez, a Community Specialist in our Community Advancement department, has spent time ensuring the synergy between the bank and our community flourishes. The recent "Shred Day" during our Homecoming weekend was a testament to their dedication.

Robin Greenlee, Risk Manager at MapleMark Bank, shares, "It's a long-standing tradition for a bank to connect with the community, and one of the best ways is to find organizations that are deeply connected to the community. The work that St. Philip's has done, not only impacting education but also reaching out to the community, aligns with our mission of making lives better."

The bank's commitment to St. Philip’s and the surrounding community extends beyond financial literacy. Our "Shred Day" events not only help community members securely dispose of sensitive documents but also foster meaningful connections. Through shared values and a commitment to community welfare, this partnership continues to yield fruitful results.

LENNOX

Led by friend and former board member, Monica Brown, a group of Lennox volunteers made sure we started the new school year thriving by assisting our new teachers in preparing their classrooms for the first day of school. With boundless enthusiasm and dedication, these volunteers donated their time and expertise to help set up an engaging and welcoming learning environment for six of our new teachers. They organized supplies, arranged desks, and decorated bulletin boards. Their support eased the stress and workload for new teachers, ensuring that students had a positive and well-prepared space for their first day of school, setting the stage for a successful academic year. Lennox isn’t a new friend to St. Philip’s. They have been a Destiny Award Luncheon sponsor since 2018. We are grateful to Lennox for their compassionate effort and continued support.

NATIONAL CHARITIES LEAGUE

A vibrant group of over 170 young ladies and their mothers came together on a Saturday in August to give our campus some extra TLC. With boundless energy and unwavering dedication, these dynamic duos rolled up their sleeves and dived headfirst into action. Their tasks were as diverse as their smiles were radiant. From crafting essential cultivation packets to cleaning windows in a heavily frequented school corridor, this team did it all. They also organized various spaces and tackled the significant undertaking of assembling a large mailing project with grace and efficiency. Their commitment and spirit truly embody the values of community and service. Thanks to the incredible efforts of these amazing young ladies and their devoted moms for turning a simple act of kindness into an extraordinary labor of love.

VILLAGE STRONG: Volunteer Groups

EMPIRE ROOFING & UNITED MECHANICAL

Empire Roofing has once again demonstrated its steadfast commitment to community development by spearheading the replacement of the roof on a recently acquired property along Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. This building serves as a vital space for a ministry that hosts daily addiction recovery group meetings. The urgency of this project was underscored by the deteriorating condition of the roof, plagued by significant water pooling, making it structurally unsafe.

In an honorable display of corporate responsibility, Empire Roofing's Matt Kelley stepped up to the plate, ensuring the safety and longevity of this essential community asset. Recognizing the broader impact of their efforts, United Mechanical , under the guidance of David Osborn , has graciously contributed their time, materials, and services to install a critical HVAC system. This joint initiative addresses not only the immediate structural concerns but also enhances the overall functionality and comfort of the space.

The collaborative endeavors of Empire Roofing and United Mechanical exemplify a profound dedication to the well-being of South Dallas and its residents. Their diligent teams worked in tandem to bring these projects to fruition, aligning with St. Philip’s broader mission to revitalize and uplift the community. The continued generosity and investment of Matt Kelley and David Osborn in our community exemplifies the power of corporate partnerships in fostering positive change and creating spaces that support our neighbors. St. Philip's extends heartfelt gratitude to these community champions for their unwavering support.

HOLLYE FISK (1946 – 2023)

It is with great sympathy that we express our heartfelt condolences to the Fisk family on the passing of beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, Hollye Fisk. After receiving his Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Texas at Austin, he continued to law school at UT, receiving his Doctor of Jurisprudence degree. Throughout his distinguished career, Hollye specialized in representing architects and engineers, earning the respect of his peers and the community. Hollye held a 50-year membership with the State Bar of Texas and actively participated in professional associations such as the Dallas Bar Association, the American Bar Association, and the American Board of Trial Advocates. In 2017, he was among the first Texas lawyers to become Board Certified in Construction Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Hollye was also licensed to practice architecture, and he did so exclusively for several years prior to practicing law. He was very proud of his family and enjoyed traveling with his wife Susan and with their sons and their families, exploring historic sites, hiking, and navigating jeep trails. An avid scuba diver and underwater photographer, he and his sons enjoyed decades of adventures beneath the waves. Hollye was certified as a Master Scuba Diver having logged 592 dives. He was deeply involved at the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration, where he sang in the church choir for 40 years. He and his wife Susan, who currently serves on our board, became friends of St. Philip’s over two decades ago and continues to support our ministry in various capacities. We have been blessed by Hollye’s generosity and friendship for many decades.

OVERTON FULLYLOVE III (1971 – 2023)

Our thoughts and condolences are with the Fullylove family as they mourn the loss of Overton Fullylove III, a former teacher and proud alumni parent of Lundynn Fullylove. Overton, a Dallas native and alumnus of The Episcopal School of Dallas and Austin College, had a passion for teaching and touched many lives. For five years, he passionately served at St. Philip’s, and excelled at various roles from ELAR to showcasing his creativity as a writer. He was cherished, known for his vibrant presence, and found joy in social gatherings, dancing, and wholeheartedly supporting his loved ones. His beautiful spirit will be missed immensely.

DAVID GLEESON (1943 – 2023)

We send our prayers to the Gleeson family on the passing of former founding director of the St. Philip’s Neighborhood Development Corporation, David Gleeson. A 1965 graduate of SMU, he also served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves. While in the Reserves, he began his commercial real estate career of more than 55 years and later became a partner at Lincoln Property Co. David then formed Gleeson Realty Advisors, which was acquired by L&B Realty Advisors where he held an executive position for nineteen years until semi-retirement in 2014. He remained actively engaged in the realm of commercial real estate and its affiliated organizations. David's commitment to the community was extensive, exemplified by his service on the board of several organizations including the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce; SMU Cox Business School Advisory Board; USA Film Festival, as president; The Real Estate Council (TREC) Board; TREC Foundation and various TREC committees. He also volunteered as a CASA

(court-appointed special advocate) for children and served on the Dallas Affordable Housing Coalition. He and his wife were members of Highland Park Presbyterian Church. His ultimate source of happiness was embracing the role of father to his two cherished sons, Scott and Brent, and providing unwavering support for their endeavors and aspirations.

CECILIA HAYES (1930 – 2023)

St. Philip’s wraps its loving arms around the family of Cecelia Hayes, a cherished former employee, volunteer and alumni grandparent to Leonard and Landon Medlock. Her educational journey began at the original B.F. Darrell School and continued at Booker T. Washington High School, where her passion for science and math shone brightly. With a Bachelor of Science degree from Jarvis Christian College in 1951, Cecilia devoted her life to being a faithful disciple, advocating for children, and serving as a respected histologist. For close to three decades, she stood as one of only three Black histologists in Dallas. She retired as manager of the histology department in 1992 from Methodist Hospital, following a 25 year plus tenure with Dr. J. L. Goforth, a downtown Dallas-based pathologist. Trained by Dr. Goforth, Cecilia's work as a histologist involved studying tissue structures to aid pathologists in diagnosing diseases, a field where her love for science and math found purpose. Upon retiring, she dedicated herself to volunteering at local elementary schools and at St. Philip’s School and Community Center, where her grandsons were students. Her involvement in the business office led to a new chapter in Accounts Payable, allowing her to showcase her proficiency in mathematics. After over 20 years at St. Philip’s, Cecilia retired for the second time in 2015 on her 85th birthday. We are grateful for her service to this ministry and her loving spirit will be deeply missed .

St. Philip’s sends its sincerest condolences to the Munson family in the passing of their beloved patriarch and father, David. He was born and raised in Denison, Texas and graduated from Purdue with a degree in mechanical engineering. Known for his faith, dedication to education, and philanthropy, he served on the Board of Trustees at the Episcopal School of Dallas for nearly 50 years. Passionate about the impact of quality early childhood education, he co-founded Educational First Steps with likeminded individuals. Since 1990, EFS has been pivotal in elevating childcare centers in underserved North Texas communities into nationally accredited, high-quality early learning environments. By offering complimentary educational resources, teacher training, and enriching activities to over 100 daycare facilities and schools in the DFW area, Educational First Steps positively impacts the early education of more than 5,000 children annually. David and the Munson family have been generous donors and loyal friends of St. Philip’s for over 40 years. His legacy of generosity within the St. Philip’s community remains an enduring source of gratitude for his remarkable kindness.

DAVID MUNSON (1928 – 2023)

ROBERT TRAIL (1951 – 2023)

It is with deep sympathy that we extend our condolences to the Trail family on the passing of Robert Trail, a beloved husband, father, and alumni parent to Zoria Trail. Born in Lafayette, Louisiana, he was baptized into the Catholic faith. Following his high school graduation, Robert dedicated four years to the United States Navy. After his military service, he pursued a career as a Dallas firefighter, where he dedicated an impressive 32.5 years to the City of Dallas Fire-Rescue until his retirement in 2014 from Station 26. Throughout his lengthy service, Robert actively participated in the Black Firefighters Association, leaving an indelible mark on the firefighting community. Robert's authentic spirit touched the lives of many, and he will be remembered for his vibrant personality, profound wisdom, and deep love for his family and friends. His generous heart and infectious laugh had the power to brighten any day. In celebrating the legacy of Robert Trail, we honor a man whose impact resonates far beyond his years of dedicated service.

St. Philip’s would also like to extend its deepest sympathies and condolences to Gernise and Dr. Terry J. Flowers in the passing of Mrs. Flowers’ father, Gerald Davis; to Margertree Holmes, Chief Community Advancement Officer and to Kaitlyn Holmes, Communications Supervisor, in the passing of their father and grandfather, Dwayne Carter; to trustee and alumna Cynammon Burns Allen, in the passing of her grandmother Eartha Sansom; to Foundation Board Chair, Marnese Barksdale Elder, in the passing of her mother, Faye Barksdale; to friend and supporter Elizabeth Saab in the passing of her sister.

So many have lost loved ones this year. May God continue to comfort and strengthen you during this time of bereavement.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR

“The roots of greatness grow in the soil of gratitude.”

Have you ever searched for the perfect way to say, ‘Thank You!’? This is my crucible. I wish I had words sufficient to convey the depths of our appreciation, for you.

And so, without grand enough words, I pray…a lot…and my prayer is simple: That you may know how grateful we are for you. And that your days welcome you with some portion of the unspeakable joy that you bring to us.

Did you know that we prayed for you long before we even knew you by name. Yes, you…

Because without you our Ministry would be wanting. You bring something that no other can. You were a prayer waiting to be answered.

And so, if you are reading this, God has brought you nearer still, and that is an answered prayer.

If you are a volunteer, then you have shared your most precious and perishable gift with us – your time –and our appreciation is incalculable, as are our thanks for you in prayer.

If you are a donor, you have entrusted this organization with your resources without which we could not answer the calling of our community, and your faith in us is an answered prayer.

If you are one of our remarkable teachers, staff, or leaders, then the precious gift of your talents is a prayer for which our gratitude will remain unceasing.

And if you are one of our flock to whom we are so Blessed to serve – our students, our families, our community – then you are the very calling for which God has brought each of us nearer, and for whom our prayers and our efforts are unremitting.

We thank you for joining in our chorus of prayer. We could ask for nothing greater.

Prayer is the bedrock of everything we do at St. Philip’s, upon which we stand together. With every thought of you, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. And I am reminded of the lesson we teach our precious children at the earliest of age, “Show me your friends and I will show you your future.” As I look to you, our friend, I can be certain of the future of St. Philip’s School & Community Center.

And so, when you are able, draw nearer still, and together we will rejoice in this most magnificent Ministry we call St. Philip’s School and Community Center.

Blessings to you and all those who support your generosity to this Ministry,

T.M. Weil Chair, Board of Trustees

LETTER FROM FRIENDS OF ST PHILIP'S PRESIDENT

Nine years ago, I embarked on my journey as a proud parent of a St. Philip's School and Community Center student. And I am now honored to lead Friends of St. Philip's. From the moment my three-year-old son began his education at SPSCC it became clear to me the significance of expanding community outreach and presence beyond the walls of the school. Friends of St. Philip's is an amazing auxiliary arm to the ministry of St. Philip's School and Community Center. This 200plus member group has impressed me with its ability to galvanize in support of the mission and vision of the school. I was elated to join forces with the FOSP members to create an environment that promotes growth, progress, and wellness. I am so very inspired with the action of FOSP this past year, and I am prayerful that we can continue to build on what has been constructed since the group’s 2019 inception.

Here are the numerous ways members have served our school and community over the past year:

„ Volunteered at Aunt Bette’s Community Pantry

„ Hosted a faculty and staff luncheon

„ Provided classroom volunteers so faculty could attend and enjoy luncheon

„ Presented gift cards for the entirety of the faculty and staff

„ Served at the Thanksgiving Feast and Christmas Store

„ Hosted an end of year luncheon for all employees

„ Contributed $40,000 to SPSCC for its operating budget

„ Contributed $5,500 to the inaugural 8th Grade Trip to Ghana, Africa

We are prayerful that more of you, of us – families, friends, alumni, former families, and those that know and love St. Philip's would join us in growing the engagement of Friends of St. Philip's. We hope to see you soon!

Blessings and gratitude,

Shauna Willis President, Friends of St.

Philip’s

The pavilion will house, among other spaces, a cafetorium, classrooms dedicated to performing and fine arts, an art gallery, offices, outdoor learning spaces, and a storm shelter (a new requirement from the City!).

St. Philip's is partnering with Building Solutions, KAI, and Heart & Gaugler and Associates on the project of the Moody Performing & Fine Arts Pavilion.

ON THE HORIZON

TRANSFORMING THE WORLD BY FAITH, EDUCATION AND SERVICE

Our vision is to build a comprehensive athletic complex and community park designed to meet the needs of the St. Philip’s students and community members for years to come.

One of St. Philip’s highest aspirations is to help ensure that an athletic complex will be constructed to fully complement both the school’s highly ranked academic program and the community center’s expansive athletic program. Building strong and healthy bodies go handin-hand with developing intellectually curious minds.

We are committed to providing the very best opportunities for our students and neighborhood residents to reach the highest levels of aspiration both mentally and physically.

We believe in the possibilities for every child we serve when the facilities equal their family’s dedication and community’s hope. Thank you for making our students and community neighbors’ dreams a reality.

WAYS TO SUPPORT ST. PHILIP’S: TIME, TALENT, & TREASURE

St. Philip’s has thrived through the tremendous support provided by a dedicated community of alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends. For decades, St. Philip’s School and Community Center has embodied excellence, in large part because our community has given generously of its time, talents, and treasures. There are many creative opportunities to make a contribution to the important work of St. Philip’s School and Community Center.

PLANNED GIVING – St. Philip’s is excited to announce the establishment of the DR. BARBARA CAMBRDIGE GIVING CIRCLE, our planned giving program. Are you considering including St. Philip’s in your estate planning? If your family would like to leave a LASTING LEGACY at St. Philip’s by making contributions through a bequest to St. Philip’s in your will or naming St. Philip’s as a co-beneficiary in a life insurance policy, please contact our Philanthropy Department at kcox@stphilips.com or 214.421.5221 ext. 184, for more information.

CONSIDER EMPLOYEE CORPORATE GIVING – St. Philip’s receives designated funds through the United Way (#180), the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), and State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC).

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT WITH MATCHING GIFTS – Many employers match gifts by current and retired employees. This is an easy way to double your monetary gift or place a monetary value of your volunteer time to St. Philip’s School and Community Center. Contact the Human Resources office of your employer for the form to match your gift to St. Philip’s.

SECURITIES – Raymond James is the primary securities trader for St. Philip’s School and Community Center. By donating securities to St. Philip’s through Raymond James, 100% of the value of your securities is awarded to the School. Contact the Philanthropy Office for more information at philanthropy@stphilips.com or 214.421.5221 ext. 184.

SHOP AND SHARE – St. Philip’s benefits from your shopping with Kroger, Tom Thumb, Target and GoodSearch.

THE GIFT OF TIME – From landscaping to mentoring, there are many ways that you or your business/ employers can become part of making an impact in the South Dallas area. We need your hands, too.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT TO ST. PHILIP’S WITH A MATCHING GIFT!

After making a contribution, confirm if your company or organization provides matching donations. Follow the steps to have your gift matched and join other donors who have doubled, and in some cases tripled their impact on the St. Philip’s ministry.
