BUILDING CONNECTIONS

ANNUAL REPORT TO OUR COMMUNITY 2021 – 2022

GREETINGS, UPREP COMMUNITY

One thing that makes UPrep special is the size of our community. By choice, we are one of the smaller independent schools in Seattle. Our size, even when it reaches a capacity of about 730 students in a few years, ensures each student is heard and seen here. Our Founders wanted this school to be a place for student voices and advocacy, and I am delighted to continue that legacy.

Academic excellence also defines UPrep. Our faculty care deeply about what and how they teach and how this knowledge will help our students become socially responsible global citizens. During 2021–2022, our teachers met learning gaps caused by the pandemic, created new curricula, met with students, and attended evening events. Every day, they encouraged and supported students. I am so proud of their positive energy.

It was thrilling to build connections at in-person events again. I was introduced to engaging UPrep traditions, such as Fun Day and Culture Night. Our dedicated Parent Guardian Association hosted lunches for faculty and staff to say thank you. The energy of student and parent fans in the Pumadome revitalized me! Field trips during intensives became the norm once again. Our Middle School students traveled to Alabama for Global Link American South, and graduation returned to McCaw Hall. And what a feeling it was to watch our fully robed faculty, staff, and students march down the aisle with smiles on their faces and heads held high!

During 2022–2023, I will begin traveling with our Development Engagement and Alumni Manager Claire Fallat and our Annual Giving Manager Catherine McNutt to meet with our alums locally and across the country. We also look forward to connecting at alumni events.

Our connections will grow stronger as the three-story ULab rises across the street from our main campus. I invite you to drive by to see the site or to watch the construction progress at universityprep.org/ulab.

Everything mentioned in the following pages is made possible thanks to the generous support each community member has shown to UPrep. Your gifts allow us to offer an exceptional educational experience to every student. Thank you for being part of this incredible year.

In community,

Ronnie Codrington-Cazeau

“I think genuine connection is the only antidote to what ails a seemingly fragmented and fractious society. It’s the centerpiece of the table at which we all sit.” –Joel Sohn, DIRECTOR OF UPPER SCHOOL

“What makes our community vibrant and special is that we engage in the act of weaving together the fabric of our community every day. It’s the act of celebrating and struggling together that makes our community what it is.”
–Susie Wu, DIRECTOR OF MIDDLE SCHOOL

DONORS MADE IT HAPPEN!

This year, campus buzzed with in-person learning and community-building events, starting with grade-level celebrations in the fall. That air of connection inspired families to support our fundraising efforts in unprecedented ways.

Our parents and guardians, grandparents, faculty, staff, and alumni came together to raise $1,245,183 for the Puma Fund—crossing the $1 million threshold for the first time in the school’s history. With a parent/ guardian participation rate of 87 percent, our families showed how grateful they were to be able to connect with the UPrep community.

grade-level

Nearly 200 members of our community attended our in-person UPrep Together celebration and fundraiser this April, and more than 300 tuned in to the event via livestream. During the paddle-raise, generous members of our community helped us raise $754,626 for the Endowed Financial Aid Fund. This fund ensures that all Pumas can access the full range of educational experiences UPrep has to offer, regardless of their ability to pay.

We want to thank all of our amazing donors, whose names are proudly listed at the end of this report. Your generosity is felt across our community and beyond!

A BOLD COMMITMENT TO THE FUTURE

In March, with 76 people gathered in person and more watching via livestream, we broke ground at the site of the ULab, marking the next chapter in bringing the ULab from vision to reality. Since groundbreaking, we have enjoyed watching construction progress for our 39,000-square-foot, three story building that will serve as an entrepreneurial learning laboratory and allow our Upper School enrollment to grow by nearly 30 percent. You can view the construction in real time at the livestream on our website.

Making the ULab possible depends on generous support from our entire community. We are deeply grateful to the 101 donors who have stepped forward with stretch commitments totaling $17.5 million.*

With an ambitious fundraising goal of $25 million, each member of our community plays a critical role in reaching our goal. Over the next year, we will invite all UPrep families to join us in this effort to trans form our learning spaces and support the student experiences, collaboration, and personalized learning that prepares our students for life beyond UPrep.
