So how do we make sure 2010/2011 is as successful? Or, better yet, more successful? The obvious answer is we continue to play as a team. By now, we all know the story Special Events of Jack Rudin. Mr. Rudin has been an absolute angel to the Epiphany School over the years — with his annual contribution increasing from $50,000 initially, to $150,000 in the last several years. That money goes a long, long way to ensure that we continue to enhance curriculum and fund our expansion initiatives. Without it, we wouldn’t 09/10 $ 252,142 be able to sustain what we have today — let alone expand upon it. 08/09 $ 263,607 So, as we look ahead we need to continue to work together to identify additional benefactors.

New benefactors come in all shapes and sizes. They can be friends, acquaintances, employers or organizations — anyone who you think All Special Events are less expenses might be willing to step up to the plate and make an introduction. Or you can just offer ideas about whom our team can approach directly. Mr. Hayes and I, along with our Development Office, will take it from there. Here’s another fact: six hundred people working toward a common goal will absolutely Total Grants yield better results than a dozen or so Board members trying to make things happen on their own.

The outcome was the creation of the Foundation, which We selected Epiphany for a variety of reasons. We was established as a tax-exempt charitable foundation in 1999. Its purpose is like the community that it fosters, and as a family to enhance the children’s educational experience and the faculty’s teaching who lives in the neighborhood, this is especially nice. 3 During the application process we were so impressed I NTRODUCTION environment by funding an array of programs that tuition does not cover. by the teachers and faculty that we met, by the engaged Therefore the Foundation’s fundraising activities are central to accomplishing students that we encountered, and by the bright and its mission, with the cornerstone being the Annual Fund Campaign. welcoming classrooms.

There is a learned, and is constantly bringing home artwork and projects. Most importantly, she always has a smile on shared vision of how children should be educated and a shared dedication to her face when she talks about school. helping achieve excellence in every facet of that education. Has the impact of what the Foundation does resonated yet? So in this edition of the Annual Review, we will highlight five different stories of some go-to people who make things happen here at the Epiphany School. We are grateful to the Foundation’s efforts to help maintain the high quality of the education at Epiphany There are hundreds more like them — both current and past. We salute and while keeping the cost of tuition down. We realize that thank all of them. Without their support and service, the Foundation would so much of what they do allows Epiphany to be more never be able to achieve its goals. affordable than so many other private schools. This fall we participated in the first-ever Epiphany School Walkathon, a Foundation effort to raise money for new playground facilities. Not only was the event a huge success monetarily, but it was a fun way for us to spend time with the other kids and families from Ella’s class. The Foundation events foster a strong sense of community and they offer great opportunities to help raise money for our school, with the added bonus of having a good time and feeling good while doing it. Having grown up in a family with strong Catholic values and traditions myself, I’m glad that Ella is in a place where those values are being nurtured.

Readers of this article have the copyright owner’s permission to reproduce it for educational, not-for- profit purposes, if the author and publisher are acknowledged in the copy. Lasallian Values in Higher Education Luke Salm, FSC, STD1 The topic assigned to these reflections concerns Lasallian values in higher education. To anyone familiar with the history of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools from its seventeenth century origins to its situation in the world today, there are many reasons why it is timely to take a fresh look at the importance of the [De La Salle] Christian Brothers and their educational tradition in our institutions of higher learning. This discussion comes at a time when the Brothers in our schools at every level, but especially in the tertiary institutions, are no longer as predominant among the faculty and administrators as they once were. In fact, it no longer seems possible to think of many of our schools as Brothers’ schools; it is more accurate perhaps to call them Lasallian schools. For that reason, in our colleges and universities in particular, there are many among the faculty, students, and staff who seem to feel that the contribution of the Brothers and their Lasallian teaching tradition is an institutional asset that ought not to be lost. One guarantee that the tradition will be handed on is the continued presence of the Brothers in the university and their individual and corporate commitment to it.

    LA SALLE ACADEMY 2017-2018 ANNUA L UPDATE OUR MISSION The mission of La Salle Academy, a rigorous college-preparatory high school, is to educate students of diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds with special outreach to those most in need. We provide a nurturing environment, which fosters spiritual, moral, intellectual, emotional and physical growth in the Roman Catholic tradition and the Lasallian spirit, as embodied in St. John Baptist de La Salle. We create experiences of community within the school and encourage each student to develop their gifts and talents for their own growth, as well as engage in the caring service of others, through its academic, extra-curricular and spiritual programs. LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD Dear Members of the La Salle Community, As we begin another school year, I wanted to take the opportunity to update the La Salle Community on a few of the things happening at La Salle. At the close of fiscal 2018, we find ourselves in one of the best financial positions the school has ever been in. We have just concluded our fourth consecutive year of significant growth in fund raising with nearly $2.7M and our projections are to exceed that amount again this year. I would like to congratulate our administration and faculty led by Dr. Catherine Guerriero. Over the past year, we have expanded to the third floor in our current building and have added a band room, a Chapel, a special education classroom and a library. In addition, we now have more flagship programs than ever before that wrap around the core academic work of La Salle: La Salle in the City (action-based learning trips), La Salle @2:30 (after-school clubs), La Salle Works (internships), La Salle Partners (several collegiate partnerships including The Cooper Union, NYU, La Salle University and St.

    CELEBRATING OUR PROGRESS Annual Report 2016-2017 3 JANUARY 2018 Office of the Cardinal MONTH OF THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS 1011 First Avenue New York, NY 10022 Dear Friends in the Lord: Our Catholic school system continues to thrive thanks to the laudable work of our visionary leaders. Our students are flourishing with the immense devotion of our teachers, principals, administrators, boards, committees, pastors, donors, parents and guardians whose passion is evident in the forward-looking investments that are bolstering our schools. As we work to strengthen the time-honored traditions that define Catholic education, you, our many stakeholders, form the cornerstone of our growth. This year, we witnessed the benefits of technology-infused learning come to fruition. Our classrooms were transformed into state-of-the-art teaching and learning environments and our students were equipped with the tools not only to succeed in their future careers but also, to make meaningful contributions to their communities in accordance with the call of the Gospels. We continue to be blessed with outstanding educators and administrators who are attuned to our students’ needs and are called by the Lord to their extraordinary vocational service. Above all, we witnessed our young men and women grow spiritually as they joyfully embraced a personal relationship with Christ and by their education in the faith. Never more relevant than in today’s world, our Catholic schools are defined by a mission to shape the heart and soul as well as the mind. This year marked a particularly challenging time in our nation as we responded to a series of heartbreaking natural disasters.
