What is the Key Annual Fund?
The Key Annual Fund bridges the gap
between what tuition covers and the actual
cost of operating the school at the level our
students deserve.
So why participate in the
Key Annual Fund?
Simple: To send a clear message to
potential funders that you support the
invaluable work that The Cottage School
does for our children. These organizations
use Annual Fund participation as a
benchmark for how much the school
community stakeholders support the
school.
Annual Fund Goal: 100% participation
from TCS families, staff, and Board
$100,000 Total

About the Program:
Children don't want adults to be involved in their social lives. They hate it when teachers
"interfere." Yet teachers are witnesses to the exclusion of low-status children in elementary
schools and the popularity wars of middle school and they must act to protect the weak. Parents
also see the friendship difficulties of their own children. Some take their children's social
ambitions to heart and worry that their children are not popular. Other parents hope the school
can protect their children from all social pain.
Social cruelty among kids is one of the most difficult things that adults have to confront in
raising or educating children. Experienced teachers can be confused about how to protect a child
in class, for fear of putting a rejected or controversial child in "the limelight." They can also feel
defensive when parents of neglected or victimized children come to the school for help.
This presentation walks teachers and parents through the complex social world of childhood and
addresses a number of questions: What do social relationships in school predict about happiness
in adult life? What is the normal sequence of child friendships, from the parallel play of the two-
year-old to the intimate self-disclosure of the adolescent? Why do cliques form and what are the
differences between boy and girl groups? Why are children scapegoated and how can their
parents and school protect them? Dr. Thompson will draw on research to highlight the
differences between friendship and popularity. He makes suggestions about the management of
social problems in schools and makes the case that while all children yearn for popularity, it is
friendship that helps children survive and thrive.
About Dr. Thompson:
Michael Thompson, Ph.D. is a consultant, author and psychologist specializing in children and
families. He is the supervising psychologist for the Belmont Hill School and has worked in more
than five hundred schools across the United States, as well as in international schools in Central
America, Europe, Africa and Asia.
