Dear Friends,

With educational accountability such a political dilemma, it is increasingly clear to methat the single-most important and transformative element of an AFS education is theculture we create for children and teachers alike.

At the close of our recent 10-year accreditation process, the 16-member visiting team lifted upthe vitality of our culture of learning, exploration and growth as most visible to them. Paul Lacey,professor emeritus at Earlham College and leading voice on Quaker education, often remarksthat it is the ethos of Friends schools, how we interact and learn together each day that createsthe unique strengths of Friends school students. At AFS we very intentionally create an environment of engagement, leadership, initiative, passions pursued and appreciation and respect for each other to encourage the development of uniquely strong kids.

As head of school, I find myself paying attention to three essential layers of our school culture.First is our culture of learning. Do we have a passion for learning, for coming to know ourselvesand the world in new ways, for the discourse of the academic disciplines and the way each illuminates our lives in distinct ways? Do we put ourselves in the way of transformative experience? Do we lean into complexity and challenging problems? Are we honing our skills forinquiry, challenging our own assumptions, refining our ideas? Are we curious and alive to opportunities for new knowledge and skill? My daily experience is that we are and that this learning culture is a creative and self-sustaining force for teachers and students alike, continuallydrawing us into new territory, questions and growth.

The second layer I pay attention to is our culture for spirit and nurture of inner life. Do we createtime for reflection, for paying attention to the quieter voices, for listening for that which is belowthe surface, for gaining perspective? Are we cultivating humility, openness, reverence? Are welearning to tame the distractions and anxieties in our lives in order to be fully present to the workthat we are doing? Are we a community of deep roots and rich connections? Are we open tobeing changed by what we learn from each other and from reflection? Earl Ball, chair of our accreditation visiting team and long-time leader in Quaker education, was struck by the depth ofthe spiritual community of our school, by the openness with which we talk about and nurtureinner life. The spiritual dimension of our school provides an essential set of roots and values toground our busy and ambitious daily lives.

The final layer I focus on is our culture of commitment, care and participation as a community.Abington Friends School is created each year, each day by the contributions of teachers, students, parents, staff, School Committee, alumni and Meeting members. We are the collectivestrength of all those who share their ideas, talents, hard work and resources to create an extraordinary learning environment for this generation of children growing up in a world of enormous challenge, complexity and promise. Our Annual Report on Gifts reflects the broad andcommitted support of so many who love this school and are committed to our mission and spirited work. I am truly grateful for all who strengthen, encourage and sustain this communitywith their support.

Dear Friends,

While there is no doubt that we are living in challenging philanthropic times, our Annual Report of Gifts suggests that our community is strong and resilient. We set anew record for our Annual Fund and were one of the very few schools in our regionthat actually surpassed its Annual Fund goal. Additionally, we received some strong giftstoward our $4M goal for our Campaign, Vision in Action. My hope is that we can close out the Campaign long before the three year completion date of June 30, 2011.

This year, we have moved to an online version of our Annual Report in order to be good stewards of our financial resources and of the world in which we live. If you would like a paper copyof the full report please contact the Development Office and we will be happy to provide one.

As I talk to friends and alumni of the school, I am often asked why our Campaign is critical now andwhy we feel it is so necessary to press forward even in this tough economic environment. The answer lies in the quality of the interactions between our students and our teachers. If we want theoptimal learning environment for them, we need to allocate our resources accordingly. Our Campaign does just that. The three initiatives of Vision in Action focus on making our academic program superior, our faculty salaries competitive and our cafeteria and student commons flexibleand dynamic. It is a compelling blueprint and please don’t hesitate to call me if you would like todiscuss it in more detail.

To those who are listed on this report, I want to thank you for your generous stewardship of Abington Friends School. Your donations are an expression of your faith in the school. My wife andI support the school to the best of our ability because I am awed daily by the level of professionalism and dedication I see from our teachers, staff and administrators. I see this in thehallways, in the cafeteria, in assemblies and in my role as an 11th Grade advisor and part-time coachof tennis and golf. Abington Friends School is an incredible school with an important mission. Yoursupport helps the School get better and better.

Before I close, I want to thank those who help us in other ways as well. To those friends who see to it that our scholarship program is supplemented by donations through the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (PAEITC) program, thank you very much. Tothose friends who gave more to our Annual Fund so that we could meet the E.E. Ford Challenge Grant for the purpose of designing multi-racial curricula, thank you very much. To thosewho supported the Hank Faulkner Golf Outing and have helped us raise over $40,000 to date forgeneral scholarship, thank you very much. And to those who have had the wonderful foresight ofincluding the school in your wills or planned giving, thank you very much.

We have much to give thanks for and for all of us in the Development Office, please know that weappreciate every dollar of your support!

With Regards,

Jon M. HarrisAssistant Head of School for Institutional Advancement

“Abington Friends Schoolis an incredible schoolwith an important mission. Your supporthelps the School get better and better.”

Dear Friends,

It is my pleasure to write to you every autumn and share my latest thoughts about Abing-ton Friends School. This year, despite a rocky economic climate, there is excellent news to report.

• Enrollment is up and solid in all divisions.• Because of careful planning by the Administration and the Finance Committee the school is in a

position to continue to support our full program and our families in need during this difficult time.• The Capital Campaign recently celebrated surpassing the halfway mark.• The ’08–’09 Annual Fund exceeded its goal and hit an all time record.

The School Committee continues to enjoy a rich and satisfying working relationship with the Schooland the Meeting. Each year, in addition to attending regular meetings, School Committee membersshare a working retreat, spend time visiting classrooms, and serve on various subcommittees. Thisyear we welcome Margaret Sayers who, as AFS parent, clinical child psychologist, Meeting member, and board member of Building Blocks Child Development Center, brings a wealth of relevant experience to her work on the School Committee. We are sorry to say goodbye to MarciaBoraas, Anne Ewing Burns, Peter Kollros, Marc Perry and Frances Smith. We thank these colleaguesfor their many contributions and we wish them well in their future endeavors.

In a world of great change I find it a comfort as much as it is a privilege to be part of a communitywhere core values and beliefs do not change but serve as guide posts for all major decision making; where ideas are not pigeon-holed but are always open to examination; and where, amongthe many constituencies of the school, a central constant is a comfort level with the very fact of change.

As families gather to celebrate the holidays I am grateful for this remarkable community we all share. I give thanks for the gift of each AFS graduate well prepared to engage in thoughtful and thought-provoking work. I give thanks for each of you and what you give to AFS: thenurturing support from home that underpins the work of teachers in the classrooms; your gifts tothe Annual Fund that in many cases represent real sacrifice on a yearly basis; your volunteer hours;and, in the broader community of neighborhoods and houses of worship, your goodwill towardsAFS that circles home to enrich us all.

With best wishes for a wonderful year,

Peter Schorsch, Clerk of School Committee

“I am grateful for this remarkable community we all share…I give thanksfor each of you and what you give to AFS.”

How did you first become anAFS parent?Brad: It started with my oldest daughter,Adrienne. She was in middle school in Central Bucks. It was a good school systembut she was falling through the cracks. Atparent teacher meetings it was clear theteachers really didn’t know my kid. Theyweren’t reaching into her soul. We thoughtshe can do better and we can do better. Wemade the normal round of schools in thearea. We came to AFS and met faculty andstaff, as well as students. You could see thefocus on the individual and bringing out thebest in the individual, and we liked what wewere hearing about Quaker values, whereeverybody has something to contribute. Wesent her here and she blossomed. After acouple of years we sent Alicia, and Anitasaid, ‘I want to go, too.’ They all have verydifferent personalities but all of them havebeen able to find themselves at AFS. For oneit might have been sports, for one taking advantage of AP courses, honors classes orother extracurricular activities.

What inspires you as a philanthropist?Brad: Adrienne and I recognize how fortunate we are. One of the things that hasallowed us to have the opportunities is thefamilies we grew up in. Another is the education we received. I grew up in a familythat valued education. My great grandfatherwent to college and for somebody who wasblack in Louisiana before the turn of the century that was a big deal. If I go back inthe family to see who had success and opportunities, way before there was a Bradin the world, it was always those who hadeducational opportunities and took advantage of them. It was especially important in the black community where by law or practice there was such rampantdiscrimination. Ever since I was a little boy it was stressed that you’re going to college,that’s the key to success, the key to overcoming injustice, and my life has bornethat out.

Brad Sheares and Adrienne Simmons

School Committee member and AFS father Brad Sheares and his wife Adrienne Simmons are energetic supporters of the School. As well as contributing to the ECCO Program (Exploring, Connecting, Committing to Op-portunity), they have established a scholarship fund to increase access to theSchool for qualified minorities. Brad’s oldest daughter, Adrienne, graduated fromAFS in 2005 and attended Spelman College. Alicia took the same path in 2008 and youngest daughter Anita is set to graduate next summer.

When we think of activities we’d like to be involved in and invest in, that’s what drivesit for us. We’re particularly interested in kidsand trying to make a difference for children.We’ve taken the approach that there is a lotof need out there and we don’t have the ability to change everything for everybody sowe like to make a difference for a kid here, akid there. We’re involved with the SupportCenter for Child Advocates, the Boys andGirls Club, Fisk University, Spelman College,Purdue University and AFS.

Adrienne: Brad and I realized when wetalked about where we wanted our funds togo that we both had a commitment to children. All of my volunteer activities arecentered around children, and that’s not acoincidence. I think the light bulb went on asto where we should exclusively direct ourfunds when we established our foundation.There are a lot of people who need supportand it does become difficult for us to turndown other worthy causes. But for us it is always going to be about young people andfostering their cultural, social and educational development.

Your support of AFS and yourcommitment to increasing accessibility has been extraordinary. Can you talkabout that?Brad: I’m very inspired by Rich’s leadershipfor the School. He gets it. He has a vision forthe School and the School is taking on a forward looking vision in the world. I’d liketo help that in different ways: through serving on the School Committee and making contributions that enable a studentto go to the School who otherwise simply because of financial means might not beable to go. To allow that to happen is veryimportant to me. We have a real passionaround it. We’re really committed to it. Atfirst we wanted to support the School in general but we wanted to do more than that.

Adrienne: We think it’s important that wedon’t just provide for a child to go to AFS forone year. It’s the value of consistency ofbeing in the AFS community that’s key. Sowhen we decide to support a child we havemade a commitment to support them untilthey graduate. We can’t have them start theireducation here and not be able to finish.

How does it work in a practical sense?Brad: The School works with experts, such as those at Steppingstone and a number ofother programs, to identify good studentswho are prepared and ready to go. That’s the student in whose life we want to make a difference, and why we established an endowed scholarship fund to support these children.

What do you see as the longterm impact of your support?Brad: If we look at kids our fund has supported and see the contributions they’vemade to the AFS community and howbeloved they are, what other students andfaculty have learned, this is not charity on mypart. This is providing an opportunity for anindividual student but also to the whole AFS community. Having these students in theAFS population will enrich the experience for every student in this school.

Adrienne: We have made a commitment tosupport African American students in particular, and are looking for ways to getmore minority students into the program.One of the other reasons we do this is because it will hopefully encourage otherpeople to support the things they’re passionate about. There are many peoplewho have things they’re passionate about,and if everybody does their part it builds upthe entire community. Hopefully people willlook at the things we do and lend their support. For those of us who have been fortunate, it’s important to give back.

We want to not only encourage others likeourselves to give but also to encourage thestudents we help when they are in their 30s,40s, 50s to look back and extend a hand tosomeone else, pay it forward. We’re alwaysencouraged when we receive notes frompeople we’ve helped who say thank you andwe can’t wait to do it for someone else.They’re not going to forget there was someone who took an interest in them.That’s really critical. It’s extremely importantto us that these students see there are members in their community that look likethem, care about them, are in a position tohelp them and do help them.

“ We want to not only encourage others like ourselves to give but also toencourage the students wehelp when they are in their30s, 40s, 50s to look back andextend a hand to someone else, pay it forward.We’re always encouragedwhen we receive notes frompeople we’ve helped who saythank you and we can’t waitto do it for someone else.”

Cash, Check and Credit CardThe School accepts gifts made by check, cash, credit card (Visa, MasterCard and American Express). Gifts can be made using our secure online donation form, by mailing or dropping off a check tothe Development Office.

Securities and no-load mutual fundsAFS welcomes gifts of appreciated securities. You may avoid capital gains tax and take a charitable deduction for the full value of the stock. For instructions about this simple transaction, you oryour broker may call the Development Office at 215-576-3956.

Bequests A bequest to AFS is a gift that can truly be made by almost everybody. It involves no immediate loss of capital or income, and taxbenefits minimize the ultimate cost to one’s heirs. If you would liketo inquire about how to go about making a bequest to benefit AFS,please call the Development Office at 215-576-3956.

Retirement Assets You may be able to designate AFS as a beneficiary of your IRA or other retirement plan. This can help to reduce income and estate taxes.

Personal PropertyYou can make an outright gift of your residence or other real estateto the school and qualify for a charitable deduction. A gift in this formenables you to avoid a capital gains tax on the appreciation of theproperty, just as with gifts of appreciated securities.

Life Insurance If you have a life insurance policy which you no longer rely on, consider putting the money to work for AFS. This can be done in twoways. You can take an existing policy and amend it so that the beneficiary is AFS; or you can take a policy on which you have paidsome premiums, but not all, and give it to AFS.

For information on giving to AFS, please contact Jon Harris at 215-576-3956 or [email protected]. AFS provides supportfor a full range of charitable gift planning options and services.
