Letter from the Head of School:

So often an annual report is a reflection upon the past, but the attitude of Saint Philip’s Episcopal School is one of always looking to the horizon, always building for the future. It is that forward movement that characterizes many of our activities here. We are indebted to the generous and capable priests, educators, trustees and parents who built and maintained our school, and those who continue to do so. The Saint Philip’s community has a great deal to be proud of: its continuing academic excellence, its willingness to support our capital campaign, and its commitment to meeting a higher standard throughout the organization. At Saint Philip’s, we choose to devote our energy not to self-congratulation but in growing to meet our potential. I wish to express my sincere gratitude for your support of Saint Philip’s. Together, we have accomplished much in which we can take great pride, and yet, there are new goals that lie before us. To everyone whose name appears on the following pages, thank you for helping us to offer the very best in elementary education.

With warm regards,

George F. Devin IIIHead of School

Letter from the Priest-in-Charge:

Even on my first visit to the St. Philip’s campus in September 2009 it was clear that this is a very special place. I sensed immediately the joy of learning, the love of children, and the commitment to the formation of caring and compassionate young people.

In my time here, it seems those things are still at the center of our school and part of what makes the St. Philip’s community such a special place. In addition, I have come to appreciate the generosity of this community as day in and day out you share your time, talent and treasure in the service of our students and teachers.

I am amazed and humbled by the generosity of our parents, teachers, staff and friends whose support of the Annual Fund allow us to meet the needs of our students beyond what tuition alone can fund.

Thank you for your commitment to the St. Philip’s Annual Fund, for your generosity, and for knowing that a place that nurtures joy, love, caring and compassion deserves all our best efforts. Grace and peace,

Reverend Dr. Mary E. ConroyPriest-in-Charge

Letter from the Chairman of the Board of Trustees:

Thank you to all of you for your continued support of St. Philip’s Episcopal School. St. Philip’s, like other independent schools, depends on gifts to its Annual Fund, Capital Campaign and Foundation to provide a superior academic, spiritual and moral education to its students. Your contributions help fund the advanced technology the children utilize every day, wonderful professional development opportunities for the faculty and staff, and scholarships for those families in need.

Given the economic challenges during the past two years, this continued financial support was vital to St. Philip’s and its families. We are blessed to be part of such a generous and supportive community and to be the largest ministry of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church. The Vestry and congregation of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church support the School in so many ways–spiritually, financially and physically-and the School cherishes this relationship.

This year’s Annual Fund raised $114,000, which is a 65% increase over the prior year! Development Director Kate Samson and Annual Fund Chair Tania Dominguez Miner and their talented class captains reached out to parents, grandparents, alumni and other members of the St. Philip’s community to achieve this impressive amount. 100% of the St. Philip’s faculty and staff made gifts to the Annual Fund last year and nearly 80% of current parents contributed. These funds were used to purchase ten new (10) iMacs for the 3rd grade class, install additional security cameras around the campus, send several faculty members to innovative conferences on early childhood education, learning and the brain, and fund scholarships for several St. Philip’s families.

St. Philip’s School Home Association, which hosts a number of fundraisers and other events throughout the year, consistently provides additional funding for the School. This energetic and dedicated group, led by its President Bonnie Seipp, Vice President Ana Cohen and Treasurer Bibi Mojena, raised more than $100,000 from the book fair, golf tournament, Sally Foster program, and its annual gala. The St. Philip’s Episcopal Foundation also provides contributions to the School to help fund scholarships and professional development opportunities. Although the School’s endowment is modest, these funds from the Foundation are important to the School and we hope the support and generosity of the individuals listed in this Annual Report have allowed St. Philip’s Episcopal School to thrive even in these difficult economic times. We are thankful to all of you for your gifts to St. Philip’s.

Dear Saint Philip’s Parents, Faculty, Staff and Friends:

I am so very proud to announce the record-breaking results of the 2009-2010 Annual Fund campaign, the most successful Annual Fund campaign in the school’s 58-year history. While the goal was to raise $70,000, “The Small School with the Big Heart” lived up to its name, and together, we raised more than $114,000 for St. Philip’s.

This accomplishment would not have been possible without the overwhelming support of all constituent members of the St. Philip’s community – from the Board of Trustees, to the Parents, Faculty, Vestry, Alumni and Grandparents – each of whom increased their giving, both in terms of participation, as well as in dollars. Parent participation increased to nearly 80% from 69% in the prior year, and both the Board of Trustees, under the leadership of Art Murphy, and the Faculty and Staff, under the leadership of Jackie Ervesun, achieved 100% participation. Average giving per student also increased significantly, from $398 in 2008-2009 to $667 last year.

The positive results of the 2009-2010 Annual Fund were due in large part to the extraordinary efforts of the Annual Fund Committee: Nicky Hommen, Jessica Lopez, Claudia Duckenfield, Katie Arriola, Cristi Edmunds, Elisa Carrera-Justiz, Alexa Peterstam and Teresa Dyke. This dedicated group of parent volunteers spent countless hours educating parents about the $1,000 per student “gap” between the amount they pay in tuition and the actual cost of educating their child at St. Philip’s. Kate Samson, our Director of Development, provided critical support to the Committee and deserves special recognition for her leadership in developing new appeals and strategies designed to ensure a successful Annual Fund campaign.

The Annual Fund is the school’s most important fund-raising vehicle. Because tuition alone only covers 94% of the cost of educating a child at St. Philip’s, funds raised by the Annual Fund combined with contributions from the School Home Association and the St. Philip’s Episcopal Foundation are used to bridge the $1,000 per student “gap” resulting from the difference between tuition revenue and expenses. All donations to the Annual Fund go directly to the school’s annual operating budget and are used to fund core programs and activities, including financial assistance for students, faculty professional development, technology upgrades, classroom facility enhancements and building the endowment.

The extraordinary results of the 2009-2010 Annual Fund Campaign further demonstrate the unwavering commitment of the St. Philip’s community to its children and the school’s mission of educating each child intellectually, physically and spiritually in an atmosphere of inquiry and acceptance. I am grateful for the opportunity to have served as Chair of the Annual Fund, and I thank you for your generous support to St. Philip’s. We are all blessed to be part of this special community.

a yEaR in reviewMakinG a woRld oF diFFEREncE

Dear St. Philip’s parents, teachers, administrators and friends,

I am delighted to announce another successful year of fundraising by the School Home Association. Our accomplishments were made possible by the overwhelming effort of our board members, extraordinary support of our families, and contributions from friends in our community. From giving your time, baking, purchasing gift wrap, playing in the Golf Tournament, becoming a Corporate Sponsor, to chairing the Gala, each effort, no matter how small, has contributed to this great accomplishment. St. Philip’s is truly the little school with the big heart.

This year the School Home Association will contribute $50,000 to teacher bonuses, $5,263 to Scholarships, $16,000 as our final contribution to the $100,000 we committed to build the Media Center Reading Nook, $1,606 to the Media Center from Book Fair profits, and $10,000 to security. We are very pleased to announce that we have also made a commitment to contribute $75,000 to the St. Philip’s Endowment Fund. $15,000 will be contributed this year and $15,000 each year thereafter for four years. In addition the School Home Association contributes to graduation ceremonies for Sr.K and 6th grade, the 5th Grade Social, the Pre-school Orientation event, Welcome Back Supper, End of Year Dinner, Christmas Brunch, Teacher Appreciation Luncheon, Episcopal School Sunday, and the Back to School Coffees for each class.

The grand total disbursed this year was $ 105,000.00. These contributions will touch every child at St. Philip’s every day. Thank you, parents, for your overwhelming support and dedication to our school. It has been a great pleasure to serve as the head of such a wonderful group of people for the past two years.
