was a remarkable year for St. James’ Episcopal School. In a

transition year, St. James’ was blessed with our interim Head

of School, Andrew Wooden, at the helm. Enthusiastic parents, students, faculty, staff and

a fully supportive Board of Trustees rallied behind Mr. Wooden’s tireless energy. Andrew

embraced the Board’s vision for St. James’ and helped us prepare for our incoming Head

of School with optimism and the certainty that our best days are ahead.

R O O MWe have much to boast about! Our wildly successful “St. James’

Soiree” raised funds to renovate the art classroom in combination

with a grant from The Ahmanson Foundation. When the arts cur-

riculum in many schools is facing severe cutbacks, we at St. James’

can be proud of a renewed emphasis on arts education enhanced

by state of the art facilities. We are also proud to announce that we are the beneficiaries

of a grant from DVS Networks. Their generous gift allowed us to install nine new Smart

Boards in our classrooms.

As we look forward, we are delighted to welcome our new Head

of School, Debbi David. In a seamless transition, she has picked

up right where Andrew Wooden left off. The energy and opti-

mism on campus is palpable. Mrs. David recently announced

plans to relocate and build a new facility for the St. James’ Pre-

school. The new and expanded facility will include a Jr. Kindergarten program aimed at

further preparing students for elementary school. Located a block away, the preschool will

become a more integral part of the broader St. James’ community.

The message is clear and the evidence is real - we are on the move. St. James’ is

proud to be known as a genuinely diverse school both ethnically and socio-economically,

a school which offers a rigorous academic experience and most importantly, an education

that is grounded by faith, a belief in the virtue of respect, and the value of serving others.

Quite a place indeed!

Church, serves students of diverse economic, ethnic, racial, and

social backgrounds through an enriching program of academic

rigor within a supportive Christian environment that empha-

sizes respect for all of God’s creation and the value of service

to others.

Physical Education teacher Tamara Brown created a new global health cur-

riculum for the 5th grade. Students constructed a solar oven which was then

personally delivered by Ms. Brown to St. James’ sister school, St. Jacques, in

Haiti.

Although the tuition for attending St. Jacques is only $50 per month, many

Haitian students cannot afford even this amount. A St. James’ school-wide

student initiative raised over $2,100 to help pay for these students’ education.

St. James’ graduates continue to experience an excellent acceptance rate

among prestigious middle schools. With a solid, early educational foundation

from St. James’, our graduates excel through high school and gain acceptance

to many of the country’s most sought after and competitive higher educational

institutions.

The median score for St. James’ students on each ERB (Educational Records

Bureau) subtest was above the median for independent school students nation-

wide in 2010-11. In addition, St. James’ students score higher as they spend

more years at the school.

Thanks to a generous gift from DVS Networks, nine classrooms are now out-

fitted with Smart Boards and a portable Smart Board is in place in St. James’

Hall. These innovative tools have a vast array of applications in every subject,

are fun and motivating for students, inspire new approaches to teaching, and

are effective for students with different learning styles.

The year ending June 2011 was difficult for the School in terms of oper-ating income. With the economy still depressed, we saw a big increase in requests for tuition assistance. We tried to help to the extent we could as we do not like to see students who are doing well at the school having to drop out. Giving to the Annual Fund was down from the previous year, although income from restricted donations and special events was higher. In addi-tion, we were faced with some exceptional expenses as we sought an interim Head and a new permanent Head following the retirement of Mr. Bowers, as well as a new Development Director. The result was that we ended the year with an operating loss of $197,911. Fortunately we have strong re-serves and favourable stock and bond markets meant that the increase in the value of our reserves more than offset the operating loss. I would like to thank all those who gave to the Annual Fund or made dona-

tions for special purposes. We will be reaching out to you again this year. Tuition fees do not cover operating costs so a healthy Annual Fund is es-sential. We also need help to continue to improve the School’s facilities. Donations were largely responsible for the new Science and Art Rooms which have given us wonderfuly improved op-portunities for teaching and learning. We believe the new Preschool is equally important.

Annual Giving provides vital resources which add fuel to the engine of excel-lence. With no government subsidy, St. James’ is financed by a combination of tuition, private donations and endowment income, because the actual cost of providing such an enriched educational experience exceeds what is reasonably considered to be an affordable tuition.

Annual Giving totaled $429,870. In addition, $229,617 was received in grants and donations for special programs. Special events yielded $76,508, and the dynamic Parent Support Fellowship raised $74,356 (all numbers unaudited).Congratulations and thank you to everyone who contributed to these successful efforts.

Financial stability has never been more on the minds of everyday Americans than it is today, both with respect to individual lives as well as to small and large organizations which make up the fabric of society. In 2008, even be-fore the recent downturn in the economy, St. James’ Board of Trustees had the foresight to launch an Endowment Fund in order to fortify the school’s distinguished legacy of quality education and to help sustain the school through inevitable, cyclical ups and downs in the financial markets. Building the Endowment Fund is crucial to the overall success of St. James’ by:

Please consider becoming part of the St. James’ legacy by giving generously to the St. James’ Episcopal School Endowment Fund.

Donations to the Endowment Fund may be designated or unrestricted, and the principal of the gift remains intact in perpetuity, allowing the donation to have an immediate as well as long term impact on the lives of countless children.

26

inv e s t edThe total gifts and pledges to the Endowment Fund from inception in 2008 through June 30, 2011 stand at $1,007,027 (unaudited). We express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have made visionary endowment gifts to enhance the present and secure the future of St. James’.

St. James’ Parent Support Fellowship (PSF) is an integral and dynamic voluntary support group which embraces all St. James’ families and encourages participation in fun activities throughout the year. Whether you are involved on a one-time or ongoing basis, PSF events build a sense of community among parents, faculty and staff, and raise funds for special projects. PSF provides essential resources which enhance each and every child’s educational experience.

Working on PSF as the preschool representative was truly an unforgettableexperience.

Working as a PSF co-chair not only crystalized just how special the St. James community is for me, it also gave me a whole new appreciation for the work done by the staff, faculty, and Parish on behalf of our children. We had a ball AND raised money. I urge every parent to get involved on some level!” ”
