On behalf of our students, our faculty, our staff and our clergy, we extend a sincere thank you for your extraordinary support. The 2014-2015 Annual Report provides you with a quick reference of the collective efforts of our school community. The Vestry, Board of Trustees, parents, faculty, staff and parishioners made great strides by sharing everyone’s time, talent and treasure. This past year was one of great accomplishments!

Our strength in community driven by our strong Episcopal Identity is our hallmark and is the anchor that allows us to provide our students with a high level of programming and excellence in education. As a community of leaders we take every opportunity to adjust and transform our existing programs and curriculum to meet the 21st Century needs of our students. Our thoughtful planning for social justice has provided different opportunities that require student participation and outreach. And our level of commitment to professional development for our faculty has empowered our teachers and our school in providing a cutting edge educational environment for our students.

We deeply thank all who participated on our efforts!

School and Home Association

Dear Friends,

Our goals for the School and Home Association include fostering an inclusive environment where families can gath-er, voice their ideas and feel valued. We aim to throw community-building events that reinforce the bonds in our community.

Our largest of these events, the Carnival, solicited screams of joy from our children and plenty of good cheer from the rest of us. The ‘wet’ theme “Make a Splash” was a huge hit. The fifth graders proudly wore their baseball caps and took turns getting dunked while others ran towards the much anticipated zip line and jumbo shark waterslide. No de-tail was forgotten, there were even “Make a Splash” towels for our wet bundles of joy running around. Another great example of community spirit was felt as we gathered under the stars and oak trees to watch our very own St. Stephen’s stars perform at our Annual Dinner Auction, “Dancing with the SSEDS Stars”. I am sure all of Coconut Grove heard us cheering on our parent contestants as they demonstrated their adeptness in tango or mambo but most of all their love for their family’s little school by the bay. That night we were able to raise all the funds needed for financial aid the following year and the funds needed to enhance the educational experience for our beloved children so that our school can maintain its leading edge. It was a magical night that brought smiles to all our faces.

The School and Home Association also ran yearlong activities, such as Library Committee or Green Committee, which exist to support our beloved teachers and assist with the daily flow of campus life. Another goal of the SHA is to show our appreciation to our faculty and staff. Our faculty and staff work tirelessly to not only educate our children but to nurture them and build strength in character. As a collective group and as room parents our families found different ways to show how much we care for the faculty and staff throughout the year. For example, the tremendous display of love during Teacher Appreciation Week and its activities was warming and indicative of how grateful our community is for each other. The SHA is happy to report we were able to fulfill all the “Teacher Wish Lists” through our school fundraising. Some of these include a new library build-out, post-graduate seminars, Go Math programs, READ programs and a multitude of initiatives that will fuel our classrooms with passion and enthusiasm.

Thank you for trusting me as your School and Home President. It has been an honor to serve this inspiring and loving community. I am looking forward to another wonderful year with you all.

Best Regards,

Lisette Di GasbarroPresident, School and Home Association

The 2014-2015 Annual Giving Campaign was a powerful reaffirmation of just how special our school is. From the tireless dedication of all who worked on the campaign to the 100% participation of our families, our faculty and staff, and our Board in giving to the campaign, the community came together to make a very powerful and very real difference in our children’s educational experience…and thus their future. As co-chairs, we again want to thank everyone who made the experience one of complete joy, and remind everyone in our community to take a moment to reflect on the fact that individually and as a whole, you made a difference.

Alumni parent Raschelle Freeman spoke passionately about the financial aid her children received at St. Stephen’s. Raschelle expressed gratitude to the SSEDS community for providing her daughters with a solid academic foundation, in a loving and nurturing environment. Guests responded by supporting the financial aid appeal and enjoyed bidding on their favorite dance performances. The outcome was a win-win; a total of $74,146 was raised to support current students on financial aid. A heartfelt thank you to our dancers, parents, alumni, parishioners and friends of St. Stephen’s for their generous support of our financial aid appeal.
