THE DWIGHT SCHOOL FOUNDATION
Annual Report 2009 – 2010
A Year of Trips and Explorations Each year Dwight students - from our youngest preschoolers to our graduating seniors - take part in a variety of trips and explorations. Some may be local day trips that enhance the curriculum, like the third grade’s field trip to the Science Barge in Yonkers, New York. Others are cultural immersions in a foreign country, like the WISER Club’s two-week journey to Kenya to volunteer at a unique girls’ boarding school. Regardless of the setting, each exploration enables students to embark on an important voyage of self-discovery. Ultimately, we hope that all our students will use their “spark of genius” to build a better world - both near and far. This Annual Report spotlights some of the local and global trips that Dwight students took last year.

Letter from the Chancellor
Dear Parents, Alumni, and Friends of Dwight and Woodside, Dwight is a passionate community of learners who give tirelessly to assure each student learns life skills. Dwight’s three pillars are a rigorous International Baccalaureate program, a personalized process that nurtures and celebrates every student’s “Spark of Genius,” and a focus on student leadership. These provide the unshakeable foundation for a meaningful life. Parents, teachers, alumni and students working together are the glue that makes a Dwight education special. It is through your extraordinary generosity that the Dwight School Foundation had another record year and continues to have a major positive impact on the educational experience of every student. The Foundation’s Annual Fund Committee, under the leadership of Trustee Susan Kessler (Parent ’10), Audrey Zinman (Parent ’11), and Sam Droulias (Parent ’23) raised a record $1,233,268 from 522 donors. Part of this total came from the Senior Committee, co-chaired by Toni Bernstein and Liz Schiff, which
raised $207,900 and enabled us to renovate the 89th Street entryway and stairwell. Another part came from a growing number of alumni donors thanks to the efforts of Alumni Council member Blain Namm ’97 and a strong team of alumni volunteers. Our Spring Benefit Committee co-chairs Jane McEvoyPetrycki (Parent ’11), Hege Eriksen (Parent ’21), and Heather Barrett-Babich (Parent ’24) organized a wonderful auction at The Rubin Museum that raised an additional $254,497 to support our programs. Finally, thanks to the efforts of Trustee Richard Zinman, Dwight also received $1,513,333 in capital gifts enabling us to begin Phase I of the brownstone renovation project. We are enormously grateful to all of you for donating your dollars, time, and other resources to strengthen our School. We will continue to explore ways to ensure a world-class education where children learn to use their “Spark of Genius” to build a better world. Thank you for your continued support on this wonderful journey. Fondly,
Stephen Spahn, Chancellor

Middle School Outdoor Exploration in Vancouver
4
Last June, middle school students participated in a outdoor exploration camp at Dwight International School, which occupies twenty-three beautiful acres of rain forest on the shores of Vancouver’s Lake Shawnigan. Students explored the natural history of the island through a variety of outdoor activities including kayaking, canoeing, hiking, swimming, and sailing.
Community Service Program in Peru
Last summer, sixteen students traveled to Lima, Peru, as part of a cultural immersion and community service program. Students stayed with Peruvian families, took part in daily Spanish classes, and built houses in the low income Lima suburb of Pamplona.

Letter from The Dwight School Foundation Trustee Chair
Dear Fellow Parents, Alumni, and Friends of The Dwight School, It is a privilege to work with our dedicated Foundation Trustees to ensure that Dwight students and faculty have the finest resources possible. The growing generosity of the Dwight-Woodside community has truly been inspiring. Our success would not be possible without the hard work of numerous volunteers besides our Trustees who have dedicated significant time and effort to support the Foundation’s various initiatives: the Annual Fund Committee, Senior Gift Committee, Spring Benefit Committee, the ParSusan Kessler
ents Association, and the Alumni Council. Nor would our success be possible without the many donors whose contributions have enriched the Dwight-Woodside experience for all students. We are most grateful to Chancellor Stephen H. Spahn whose vision and unwavering belief that every student has a “Spark of Genius” inspires us all. We look forward to another amazing year. On behalf of the students and faculty of The Dwight School, thank you! Best regards,
Susan Kessler (Parent ’10) Dwight School Foundation, Trustee Board Chair

Journey to Kenya
Last March, nine Dwight students spent ten days in Muhuru Bay, Kenya, at WISER (Women’s Institute for Secondary Education and Research), with whom Dwight became a Partner School in 2009. Acting as journalists, students created video documentaries, through which they told the personal stories of five of the WISER girls. Hannah Levi ’10 took this photograph as the group was departing to return back to New York.

Third Grade Science Barge Trip
As part of their April unit on energy, the third grade class traveled to the Science Barge, a sustainable urban farm located on a barge in Yonkers. The barge uses only the energy it converts to grow over one ton of produce (melons, tomatoes, cucumbers, arugula, lettuce, and strawberries) that gets donated to homeless shelters.

Parents Association
Back to School Evening — Volunteers hand out information
Safety Patrol Committee — The PA organizes and oversees an
packages and register parents.
after-school Parent Safety Patrol to increase street safety for students as they make their way home from school each day. By taking an active role in this program parents help make the entire school community a safer and more enjoyable place. In addition to protecting school children on their way home from school, this program allows patrollers to get to know fellow parents. Safety Patrol is a valuable service to our school.
Timothy/Bentley House Halloween Parties — Parents assist staff members in planning, setting up, chaperoning, and cleaning up after the event.
Bentley House Thanksgiving Basket Event — Each November, Bentley House students gather to prepare Thanksgiving Dinner baskets for families who cannot afford a special holiday meal. Parents supervise the preparation of the baskets.
Book Fair — The annual Book Fair, which is held at the Barnes & Noble Superstore (Broadway and 82nd Street) is an important school-wide event that helps us raise money, provide books for our library and classrooms, and buy gifts for family, friends, and ourselves. Volunteers help plan and publicize the Fair, obtain and distribute classroom wish lists and suggested reading lists, and act as chaperones during the event.
Woodside Spring Fair — The Annual Woodside PA Spring Fair is a wonderful time for Woodside families to come together on a weekend and celebrate the beautiful spring weather. Children participate in activities such as seed planting, cupcake making, t-shirt decorating, face painting, singing, and dancing. Parent volunteers set up and run each activity and help clean up after the event.
School Uniform Sale — Parents are asked to donate their children’s outgrown and gently used uniforms so that they may be re-sold to Dwight families at a very nominal charge. PA volunteers sort clothing and staff the sales.
Faculty Valentine’s Day Breakfast — On Valentine’s Day, the PA offers teachers and staff a special buffet breakfast to thank them for their dedication and hard work. Parents donate food items and help set up and serve breakfast.
Skating Party — The annual “Skating Under the Stars” ice-skating party takes place each March. Volunteers distribute skates and work at the registration table.

Volunteer Thank You Reception
The Dwight School Foundation’s mission is to bring additional resources to The Dwight School and its Woodside Preschool to ensure the highest quality education possible. In June, Trustee Chair Susan Kessler generously hosted a reception at The Lotos Club to acknowledge the following groups who play a critical role in supporting this mission: School Governors and Foundation Trustees advise and work in conjunction with the Chancellor to think critically about the future of the School and the resources needed to implement its Strategic Plan.
The Annual Fund Committee solicits gifts from all members of the Dwight community to provide support for student financial aid, faculty professional development, and other items which will enrich the experience at Dwight and Woodside, above and beyond what is covered by tuition and fees. The Senior Gift Committee solicits Annual Fund gifts from 12th
grade families and earmarks the funds for key items they have chosen as a legacy gift to improve the School.
The Spring Benefit Committee plans and hosts a wonderful com-
munity event, for which it solicits in-kind and monetary donations to raise dollars to supplement the Annual Fund.
The Dwight and Woodside Parents Associations welcome
and connect parents to the community, promote volunteerism, encourage attendance at school events, and help address parent concerns to support faculty and build community spirit.
68
The Alumni Council and Class Representatives help identify and promote meaningful ways for graduates to get involved with the School and stay connected with each other.
