Letter from the Chairman
Dear Friends,
It’s hard to believe, but PENCIL is now celebrating 30 years of linking community resources with the public schools in our city.
Let’s look back at our journey. Sue Spickard, founder and Lifetime Director, and some of her friends realized that public schools needed to be embraced by the community. That idea led to PENCIL opening its doors in 1982 with 37 businesses as PENCIL Partners in the first year. At the end of the 2011-2012 school year, that number had soared to 768.
In its first year, PENCIL also became the regional administrator for the Jobs for Tennessee Graduates program to help students at risk of dropping out of high school. Next, PENCIL developed Reading and Math Partners to recruit tutors and mentors for elementary and middle school students. In 2005, PENCIL joined forces with LP Building Products to launch LP PENCIL Box, which has provided millions of dollars in free school supplies for teachers to use in their classrooms.
With a sterling reputation for excellence and community connections, PENCIL then began to manage the Family Resource Center at Maplewood High – a role that has now grown to include the Centers at Bordeaux and Tusculum elementaries, Madison Middle and Glencliff High. In 2009, Mayor Karl Dean turned to PENCIL’s Career Exploration Program as his first partner in NAZA, a citywide initiative to create quality afterschool opportunities for middle school students.
You’ll find many more programmatic accomplishments in this report, but there are two more accolades for the entire organization. In 2012, Mayor Karl Dean announced that PENCIL is among the inaugural recipients of the city’s Excellence in Volunteer Engagement certification award. And, PENCIL was once again voted among the 50 Best Nonprofit Organizations to Work For by The NonProfit Times for the third consecutive year.
We are grateful for the 9,692 volunteers who spent more than 107,000 hours in our public schools, providing additional learning resources with an in-kind value of at least $2.3 million. I know PENCIL’s achievements will be no less impressive as we begin our 31st year. Thank you – partners, donors and volunteers – for making it all possible.
Sincerely, John Gauder Board Chairman, 2011-2012 2

READING & MATH PARTNERS
PENCIL’s Reading and Math Partners provide not only an academic benefit to students but also a mentor relationship that can often change a student’s attitude about school. PENCIL program directors recruit and train community volunteers to provide individual assistance to students who need extra practice and encouragement in reading or math. Reading Partners are paired one-on-one while Math Partners encourage a small group of 3-4 students. Both require weekly sessions of 30-45 minutes so that the student can rely on a consistent schedule and academic progress can be tracked. Reading Partners can also choose to read aloud to a classroom a few times a month, another great way to reinforce reading skills.
Students made significant reading Reading Partners (2011-2012) progress as shown by an independent evaluation conducted by MNPS. Last year, 92% of students improved by 12 middle schools two or more reading levels – with an 45 average increase of 6 levels. And, 98% elementary of students improved in at least one

LP PENCIL BOX
Purchasing school supplies is not part of a teacher’s job description but often it becomes necessary. With 75 percent of Metro students receiving free and reduced-price lunch, many families make some tough financial decisions throughout the year and can’t provide their children the tools they need to learn. The community solution to this hardship has been LP PENCIL Box. Every Metro teacher can shop free twice a school year at this store, which is stocked with donations of new and gently used supplies.
With just one full-time employee operating the store, PENCIL relies heavily on volunteer support. Last year, volunteer individuals and groups contributed more than 2,500 hours.
Our Accomplishments
$400,000 worth of school supplies distributed to classrooms via teacher shopping.
2,500 teacher shopping visits recorded.
More than 12,000 books went to Metro teachers during the annual LP PENCIL Box Book Fair.
Received a Predators Foundation Grant to provide Physical Education equipment to 15 Metro high schools.
Supply Drives
Davidson County Kroger stores collected more than $23,000 worth of supplies!
PENCIL again teamed up with the Tennessee Titans and LP Building Products to hold a supply drive at a September home game. Titans fans collected $20,000 in supplies!
$2.9 million in school supplies have been distributed to Metro classrooms since 2005 7 PENCIL Programs
SAINT THOMAS SCIENCE SCHOLARS
Last year PENCIL awarded placement to 35 sophomores who have an interest in science and the healthcare professions. Thirty-six Saint Thomas staff members volunteered 144 hours to provide six Saturday sessions at Saint Thomas Hospital, allowing students to participate in hands-on activities and tour different areas of the hospital. Since 1994, 535 students have gone through the program and many are now practicing healthcare professionals. 8 PENCIL Programs

Art2STEM
Art2STEM is a three-year grant from the National Science Foundation to Alignment Nashville with PENCIL serving as the business engagement partner and fiscal agent. Community partners Adventure Science Center, MNPS and Tennessee Tech University introduce students to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) career paths by tapping into their natural attraction to art. The goal of this project has been to increase enrollment in STEM-focused Academies in high school. By engaging participants with these concepts in an informal learning environment, they begin to make connections between club activities and real-world authentic concepts such as manufacturing through computer aided design (CAD).

NASHVILLE AFTER ZONE ALLIANCE
In 2011, PENCIL was designated as the coordinating agency for the South Central Zone of Nashville After Zone Alliance (NAZA). NAZA helps eliminate transportation and financial barriers for students and families who want to participate in safe and structured afterschool programs. Prior to NAZA, fewer than 10 percent of middle-school students attended afterschool programming.
It was a successful first year for the South Central Zone, with 285 students participating. By facilitating partnerships between Zone Anchor Partners and more than 15 enhancement partners, students received academic assistance, took part in service learning projects, stayed active with sports and fitness and accessed a variety of enrichment opportunities.
Zone Anchor Partners A Survey of NAZA Participants: • Catholic Charities of Tennessee
• Center for Refugees & Immigrants 96% feel they are in a safe environment of Tennessee 97% feel they are in a supportive environment • Metro Parks 96% say the staff challenge them to do their best • PENCIL Foundation • YMCA of Middle Tennessee 97% say the program has been engaging • YWCA

FAMILY RESOURCE CENTERS
PENCIL has expanded upon its mission of linking community resources with Nashville public schools by administering five Family Resource Centers (FRCs).
PENCIL operates the school-based centers at Bordeaux and Tusculum elementary schools, Madison Middle and Maplewood and Glencliff high schools. Each FRC Director helps connect families with resources throughout the city.
Many families need the basics: food, clothing, or maybe assistance with utility bills. Parents can utilize the FRC to help find employment, learn English or get GED preparation. Students can also turn to the FRC for assistance. At Maplewood, for example, teen parents are offered classes and support and all students can take part in workshops that teach anti-bullying skills.
Mr. Moss came to the FRC We were able to provide him with “ several needs – utilities expenses, burial after taking guardianship assistance for his brother, emergency of his three nieces food, clothes and shoes.” and nephews. – Archie Davis, Bordeaux FRC director 12 PENCIL Programs
JOBS for TENNESSEE GRADUATES
In 30 years of service, the Jobs for Tennessee Graduates (JTG) program has created a cycle of success for thousands of students, and few educational programs in the United States can match its outstanding results. Since 1982, nearly 10,000 Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) students have been served at the middle and high school levels, with a graduation rate consistently reaching 95%.

JTG Career Specialists licensed by the Tennessee Department of Career and Technical Education served 329 students in five high schools in 2011-2012: Antioch, Hunters Lane, McGavock and Stratford in Nashville and Dickson High in Dickson County.
The goal of JTG is to motivate students to graduate and to acquire the skills needed for the workplace and post-secondary education, including resume writing, interview preparation and public speaking. For additional support, Specialists also provided a full year of follow-up services to 421 2011 graduates.
Our Accomplishments: Since its inception, JTG has annually met or exceeded national standards. The class of 2011 had a 98% graduation rate, an increase over the 95% average over the last five years.
Since 2006, JTG students have earned more than $430,000 in scholarships.
Since 2005, one or more high schools have received the Five of Five Performance Outcomes Award each year for programmatic excellence; in 2012, Cheryl Jones at Dickson High also received the Outstanding Specialist Award.

CAREER EXPLORATION PROGRAM
The afterschool Career Exploration Program is based on the Middle School component of Jobs for America’s Graduates. The program provided school-to-career and dropout prevention services to 126 students in three middle schools last year – Cameron, Wright and Croft.
CEP students often face multiple barriers that prevent them from reaching their full potential or leaving school prematurely. Students receive academic assistance, learn about different careers through site visits and career speakers, and develop skills in leadership and civic affairs. Students also have the opportunity to participate in career-related field trips, teambuilding activities, and a summer camp. Students attend the program four days a week for two hours after school. A total of 303 students have participated since launching in 2009. I really enjoy being in the “ program and getting help with my school work ... Tereza Deng, an eighth-grader at Wright Middle ” School, never missed a day of the program. She was excited to learn that her grades improved because of the extra homework help and tutoring she received in the program. “I really enjoy being in the program and getting help with my school work and doing fun activities focused on careers. I hate that the program will be ending this summer.” 14 PENCIL Programs
COLLEGE-CAREER MENTORS
The College-Career Mentors (CCM) program recruits adult volunteers to mentor small groups of ninth-grade students about postsecondary options and future careers, now required in all comprehensive MNPS high schools. Volunteers lead group activities, facilitate discussions and, ultimately, help students make informed decisions about the Academy pathway they will choose in 10th grade.
Our Accomplishments:
41 617 184 Mentors Hours Donated Students Helped
We’re excited about 2012-2013 efforts to scale CCM to include 80% or more of the 400 ninth-grade students at Cane Ridge High School. Bringing the program to scale in a single high school will help both PENCIL and MNPS understand the challenges, barriers and benefits of creating a school-wide culture of professional mentoring customized to the school's curriculum and academy structure. CCM will also incorporate E-Mentoring techniques by Skyping into class sessions and communicating regularly through emails. These methods reinforce technology skills and foster The Freshman Seminar professional exchanges. “ class is critical By integrating College-Career Mentors with this to addressing the class, we are addressing students' needs at the district's dropout rate most critical point. With the help of strong role models and caring adults, students will be more during and after the prepared and confident as they face college, ninth-grade year ... careers, and life.”
