FIGURE SKATING IN HARLEM 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 1 EXECUTIVE MESSAGE

Dear Friends,

We celebrated another wonderful year at Figure Skating in Harlem. The May Awards Ceremony honored our girls and their many accomplishments on and off the ice. We also recognized their families, teachers, counselors and coaches for their dedication and support of our students.

We have come a long way in the 19 years since FSH began as an exciting way to spark academic success, physical health, and leadership in girls who lacked access to empowering extracurricular activities.

The ONLY organization of its kind, FSH now serves hundreds of girls annually in our school year and summer camp programs in Harlem, and we have more than 60 full and part-time staff to work with them to become champions in life. As a result, our girls maintain high grades and become leaders in high school and college. In fact, we just gathered dozens of alumnae for an inspiring reunion party where they shared their amazing success stories and reconnected for the launch of our Leaders of Tomorrow campaign. We expect great things from these young women!

In 2017 we embark on our 20th Anniversary year. We take our success and our responsibility to the girls and to the community very seriously. Our board is committed to building and strengthening our program, which means even more focus on how we teach, inspire and impact the girls here in Harlem, and also beyond . . .

Knowing that our powerful trifecta of skating, education and leadership is incredibly impactful on the girls’ lives, the board has decided to expand to Detroit in 2017. This is a big undertaking, and one that we are prepared for. Planning, initial infrastructure and fundraising are already underway in Detroit.

We know that this is a pivotal year for FSH. We need the commitment and help of many more supporters – and at higher levels – to be able to deliver the unique services our girls receive and for which we are so valued in City. Help us grow and become stronger.

We intend to share our mission and message ever more widely – by innovating our web site, sending out news on social media, and communicating more effectively with our friends, donors, and families. Stay tuned and please engage with us. We need YOU!

With our thanks and appreciation, WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF FIGURE SKATING IN HARLEM. IT HAS CHANGED OUR LIVES. THANK YOU! Ellen Lowey Sharon Cohen Chair, Board of Directors Founder and Chief Executive Officer

Small group tutoring is at the core of our education program. More EDUCATION than 23 NYC Board of Education teachers, tutors and graduate students conduct small group sessions each afternoon in our Academic Center. Students are matched with tutors based on their academic standing, tutors’ observations and their STAR Enterprise Assessment results. We make sure each student has an individual learning plan that supports the student’s needs. Our goal is to make sure our girls are performing not only at their grade level but also above. The vast majority of our girls maintain a ‘B’average or higher in school, with 23% achieving ‘A’s’ this season.

CAREER EXPLORATION LEADERSHIP FSH exposes girls to exciting careers, including those that are typically underrepresented by women.

Students performed to the music of singers, songwriters and composers from Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie and to Alicia Keys and Pharrell Williams. The show was hosted by Rhonda Ross, and was joined by more than 1,200 friends, family and community members who came out in support.

This year our students were inspired to create a new Students-For-Students Scholarship.
