2011-12 post oak school annual report
DESCRIPTION
A look at 2011-12 Post Oak School highlights. Review donor lists, alumni, and college acceptances.TRANSCRIPT
2012 ANNUAL REPORT The Post Oak School
said Post Oak alumnus Ben Jawdat. “I
think everyone has an inner voice that tells them what they really want to do, and
I think the vast majority of people ignore it every day. Basically, people don’t feel
they can do what they want to do, or that it’s not realistic, or particularly mean-
ingful, or that it won’t impress their colleagues. But it always seems like the most
successful people are the ones who actually do what they’re interested in
regardless what others think.”
“I listened,”
2012
After three years of plan-ning, the AssociationMontessori Internationale(AMI) approved the pro-posal to establish theHouston Montessori Institute (HMI), a teachertraining center to behoused at Post Oak. Thefirst class begins trainingin June .
2012
The Post Oak High Schoolopened in August .Last year we purchasedland in the Museum District, gutted and renovated the building at Autrey, hired faculty,recruited a freshman class,wrote curriculum, andinitiated accreditation by the IndependentSchools Association of the Southwest (ISAS)and International Baccalaureate (IB).
As a senior at Emory University three years ago, Ben was applying to med-
ical school. Perhaps it was the act of writing his personal statement for the
MCAT’s, and reflecting upon why he wanted to be a doctor, but at that moment
Ben real ized that he really wanted to continue studying physics. Now he’s two
years into the Ph.D. program at the University of Houston, and interested
in the next phase of space exploration. “It’s inevitable that we’re going to
explore the rest of the solar system; it’s just human curiosity, if not economic
incentives.”
This story reminds me of a comment from Lauren Fondren, who graduated
from Post Oak a year before Ben. “Post Oak helped me find my inner voice,” she
said. Lest I think that would have happened anywhere, Lauren continued, “My
high school quashed it.” As an undergraduate at Middlebury College, Lauren
learned Arabic and spent a year abroad studying in Egypt. (To do so, she
petitioned her college to extend the “Semester Abroad” to a full year —very
Montessori!) She is now serving as a foreign service officer in the U.S. Department
of State.
2012
Jackson and Ryan Archi-tects, working with thebuilding committee of the board, is developingfinal plans to renovate the Bissonnet campus.
2012
Kim Sterling and Associates is guiding theboard’s developmentcommittee and campaignleadership on the initialphases of BigWORK, the effort to raise capitalfor both the Bissonnet expansion and the HighSchool start-up costs.
What is the purpose of education? These days, parents and students are
likely to answer, “Preparation for a job, an occupation, a career or a vocation.”
Vocation conveys another meaning, “which is rooted in the Latin for ‘voice.’
Vocation does not mean a goal that I pursue. It means a calling that I hear….
The difficulty is compounded by the fact that from our first days in school, we
are taught to listen to everything and everyone but ourselves, to take all our
clues about living from the people and powers around us (Parker Palmer, Let
Your Life Speak).”
What Ben and Lauren reveal, is that a Post Oak education helps students
learn to listen to their own inner voice. Yes, this will lead to a career. More sig -
nif icantly, it leads to a vocation—work that aligns with the most deeply held
interests and values of the individual and provides more than a living wage—
the deep satisfaction of expressing meaning in one’s life. What better prepa ration
for life could there be?
Last year was one of major landmarks as we prepare for the future of Post
Oak. You will have many opportunities to join in and to support the life of the
school in the coming year. Thank you for all that you did in 2011–2012, the year
commemorated in this report.
—John Long, Head of School
2012
Admissions saw dramaticgrowth with a percentincrease over last year in the total number of inquiries, full enrollmentfrom Infant Communitythrough Lower Elementary,a record number of MiddleSchool students, and theHigh School openingwith students.
Post Oak’s th anniver -sary kicks off in January. Faculty, staff andparents have been atwork for two years now,planning a series of celebratory events.
Post Oak parents are generous in spirit and time as they volunteered countless hours and
energy this year to present several all-school events. Our annual Welcome Dinner, Field Day,
Book Fair, and Grandparents’ Days were fun for our families and very well attended. Each event
was tailored to the culture and cre ativ ity of this community. Thanks to all of our hard-working
event chairs. (Please read the list in the back of the report for their names.)
The fall season was filled with the sweet singing voices of Elementary students in prepa-
ration for the full children’s opera, Moon Maiden. This massive undertaking was carefully or-
chestrated by co-chairs Tanya Gee and Jane Greenberg. From the initial rehearsals all the
way to the stage production in February, they managed every detail and creatively responded
to all challenges—and there were many. Coordinating over 150 Elementary students in an
operatic production is no small feat. Heartfelt thanks to our chairs and all the volunteers who
brought together such an extraordinary production to help our students have a beautiful and
memorable life experience.
The Post Oak community is also generous in its support for this school. Our annual fund
brought in over $260,000 and had 98 percent parent participation. Thanks to our Post Oak
Fund chairs Kim and Michael Callahan. In addition, we began the early stages of our BigWORK
Capital Campaign to support start-up expenses of the High School and major renovations on
the Bissonnet campus. We offer thanks to each and every contributor. Their gifts are a nod of
support for the work accomplished each day at Post Oak.

Recognizing our donors is ahigh priority for The Post OakSchool. We have made everyeffort to ensure the accuracyof our honor rolls, but it ispossible for errors to occur. If you wish to report an erroror omission, please contactChristina Kopanidis-Cantuat -- or by emailat [email protected]. Thank you.
The financial stability of The Post Oak School continued during the 2011–2012 school year
as we faced the financial needs of establishing the Post Oak High School. Our audited finan cial
statements for the 2010–2011 school year resulted in an increase in net assets of $578,195.
The unaudited results for the 2011–2012 school year show an increase in net assets for all
funds of $776,579. The School experienced a slight increase in enrollment moving from an
ending enrollment of 397 in 2010–2011 to 401 in 2011–2012.
Careful stewardship of the School’s assets allowed us to use our cash reserve of
$1,163,667 toward the High School startup costs. This reserve will be replenished with a capital
campaign directed toward both the establishment of the High School as well as the renovation
of the campus at 4600 Bissonnet. The School was able to purchase three properties in the
Museum District of Houston to create the High School campus and in doing so took out
mortgages on the three properties as well as a construction loan for the refurbishment of the
building at 1102 Autrey St. The debt service on these loans will be serviced by the operating
budget of the High School. The School finished the year with $29,367 in our cash reserve
fund and was able to transfer $5,000 to our Endowment Fund.
The investment policy of The Post Oak School Endowment directs a long-term investment
approach. The current asset allocation target is 20 percent cash and fixed income, and 80 percent
equities to maximize long-term returns. More than 80 percent of the portfolio is invested in low
cost institutional asset class mutual funds managed by Dimensional Fund Advisors.
During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Endowment attained its initial target of $1 million
and the School was able to take a $40,000 draw to support teacher sponsorships for the
2011–2012 school year. This benchmark has also resulted in the creation of a separate Board
Endow ment Committee to oversee all aspects of the management of the School’s endowment.
The combined portfolio experienced a modest 4 percent investment loss of $(43,983)
for the one year ended June 30, 2012.
The School’s continued fiscal discipline as well as the generosity of all of our donors has
allowed us to expand our world-renowned Montessori program to support students from birth
through the completion of High School.

Justin BoyarI graduated from Thunderbird
School of Global Management
with a Masters in global man-
agement in April 2012. I was
hired by Jones Lang LaSalle
(NYSE: JLL) to work as a con-
sultant in Panama City, Panama.
In this role, I took over tem-
porarily for the VP of JLL Vice
in Panama to manage all of
JLL’s service lines and the
needs of our clients in
Panama.
In addition, I pursue busi-
ness development opportunities
for JLL in Latin America. This
promises to be an extraordinarily
exciting, challenging, and ad-
venturous opportunity. I could
not be more thrilled with the
direction my life is taking, and
for the opportunity to work for
such a great company.
As always, I am grateful to
Post Oak for helping me build
a creative foundation, and for
encouraging me to push the
boundaries of life, growing into
the person I truly want to be-
come.

Sam GeerThings are going good here!
I’m still working at Apple to
pay the bills, but I’ve finished
the feature film screenplay I
was working on with fellow
alum William Wawro. Another
POS alum, Jonathan Ward, is
producing the film (which I will
direct). We’re going to be
shooting in Georgia, and at the
beginning of May we went out
there to scout for locations. It
was a great trip and we found
many a beautiful place to film.
We’re now in the process of
raising the money to finance it,
and we’re planning on shooting
in the next spring. So, all in all,
pretty exciting stuff!
Please give my regards to
the rest of the Post Oak family.

Alumni Update
Nick WallaceI spent the spring of 2012 in
Panama where I was taking
business classes at the Florida
State University campus in
Panama City, getting credit
towards my BBA in MIS (Man-
agement Information Systems).
After completing the semester
I backpacked from Panama City
up to Mexico. I had an intern-
ship at Marathon Oil during the
summer of 2012. I’m currently
continuing my BBA at the Uni-
versity of Houston, and I hope
to graduate in the fall of 2013.
William WawroAfter graduating from Syracuse
University in 2011 I moved out
to Los Angeles without an
apartment or job. While crashing
on a friend’s couch, I went to as
many job interviews as possible.
I was fortunate enough to get
a job as an assistant editor
at City Room Creative, a post
production company that makes
movie trailers.
It’s been a perfect fit. I’ve
moved into a proper apartment
(no more couch surfing) and
worked with fellow Post Oak
alumni, Sam Geer and Jona
Ward, on a feature script. I am
becoming more and more ac-
climated with Los Angeles, but
I still miss Houston, and I look
forward when I get to come
home for a weekend or two to
see family and friends and the
familiar humidity.
Class of 2004
Jennie KaminI graduated Cum Laude from
Tulane University in May 2012
with a degree in political science
and a focus in American policy
and practice. During my spring
semester, I worked part-time
as an assignment desk editor
for New Orleans’ local NBC-
affiliate station. Right at the
beginning of my college career,
Louisiana created tax incentives
for filming and the state has
since surpassed Los Angeles in
terms of production popularity.
As my academic background
also includes theater and
communications, I have been
fortunate enough to work on
a number of film, news, and
television projects in the city
both on and behind the camera.
As for recent projects, I
wrapped on a film in April 2012
for the SyFy network set to air
on Halloween and I worked on
an independent film in New
Orleans at the end of June.
Samantha LubelSamantha graduated Magna
Cum Laude from Syracuse
University in May 2012. She
majored in child and family
studies and minored in psy-
chology and gerontology. She

applies to law school.
Matthew McDonaldStarting around middle school
and possibly even earlier I
started getting in to music,
specifically playing drums. When
I started at Episcopal High
School, I joined band and my
musical activities blossomed
from there. After graduating
EHS, I chose to attend Boston
University as a percussion per-
formance major and graduated
in May 2012. I currently attend
the New England Conservatory
for my masters in music and
hope that the two-year program
will provide me ample opportu-
nity to audition and scope out
the job field (because my under -
grad did not). I have worked with
Generations Theatre Company
(a Houston-based theater group
headed by the Episcopal theater
director, George Brock), playing
every musical they have put
on since their inception in 2008.
Another Post Oak graduate,
Stephanie Styles, has also
worked with them every summer
and continues to do so. During
summer 2011 we performed the
U.S. regional premier of the Tony
Award winning Spring Awaken-
ing. During summer 2012 we
performed Bloody Bloody
Andrew Jackson, a rock musical
highlighting the life of former
president Andrew Jackson.

of Texas at Austin with a BFA in
