Dear Friends of Epiphany School, ts h Let me begin by thanking you all once again for your continued, generous support. 09/10 $ 438,195 lig h The Epiphany School wouldn’t be where it is today without it, and that’s a fact. 08/09 $ 387,574 As I mentioned during our Back to School nights this past September, you should feel extremely proud of the support you gave to the school and the Foundation last year. 07/08 $ 461,870 Even in the midst of a slow and painful economic recovery, one in which we all had to seriously consider where every dollar was going, you came through once again 06/07 $ 365,478 and enabled the Foundation to meet its 2009/2010 budgetary targets almost to the

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. Back to my baseball analogy — we need to recruit home run hitters to 07/08 $ 313,722 bat cleanup while the rest of us continue to hit singles, doubles and triples and put 06/07 $ 243,184 ourselves in scoring position. 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. Let’s make things happen — together.

Thank you all so much for your support and, on behalf of the Board, I wish you and 09/10 $ 420,000 your children great success in the year ahead. 08/09 $ 421,150 As always, I can be reached via email, or, feel free to stop me on the street and I’ll be happy to listen to your ideas and talk through potential opportunities in greater detail. 07/08 $ 496,850

Are you pleased that your children went/go here? Was your older son well prepared for high school?

Epiphany has far exceeded our expectations. It has been so much more than a school for our children. Our oldest Nursery son has had a smooth transition into Fordham Prep. His teachers have noted that he arrived well prepared, and in some instances even had an advantage over other students in areas including writing, public speaking and presentations.
