1LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL nancy starmer

Dear Friends,

I write this letter having recently returned from a trip to Asia to

visit George School graduates and families in Taiwan, Korea, and

mainland China. The latter is a burgeoning group, most of them

new to U.S. independent schools in general and to Friends educa-

tion in particular. Perhaps for that reason, I found their perspec-

tives and impressions of George School especially moving, and

I want to begin this letter with a story that illustrates that point.

One of our hosts in Shanghai was the father of a recent

graduate, and on our last night he spoke about what he and his

family have learned over the course of their son’s time at George

School. “When I was growing up,” he said, “I couldn’t have

imagined that in my lifetime I would be able to afford a house

with a refrigerator and stove in the kitchen, much less be able to

send my son to America to school. So many things are changing

in China, many for the good, but I worry that this next generation

will take these amenities for granted and that they won’t under-

stand that many others in their own country and the world still

live the way I used to live.”

“George School’s focus on service, on community, and on

living responsibly have been an inspiration to me,” he continued.

“I sent my son to George School so that he would have experience

of other cultures and to enable him to attend a good university

in the U.S., but he, and we, have received so much more. While I

can’t do as much as Barbara Anderson has done, I know that, like

Barbara, I want to give back for all that George School has given

to us. I know that the true significance of sending my son to the

U.S. will be realized when he and his generation show a similar

commitment to their society and to their school.”

This parent’s experience led him to become a leadership donor

to both the Mollie Dodd Anderson Library and the Annual Fund.

He also has supported George School’s Global Service Program in

China, which sends students and teachers to work with villages

destroyed in the earthquakes of 2008. This past spring, this and

another Chinese family joined together to form a foundation that

will fund George School-China service programs for the next four

years. Several other Chinese families have shown their apprecia-

tion in similar ways.

That George School and Barbara Dodd Anderson’s example

have made such an impact on these families in such a short period

of time both highlights and illustrates the importance of the

gifts that we are celebrating in the pages of this Report of Gifts.

You give because you appreciate the education that you or your

children or grandchildren received at George School, because

you understand that a strong spiritual and ethical foundation is

as important as a strong intellectual foundation, and because you

understand the importance of giving back. And your gifts, like

Barbara’s and like the gifts of our new Chinese families, instruct

and inspire others. Thank you.

This year, your gifts resulted in tremendous accomplishment

here at George School. We opened the new Mollie Dodd Anderson

Library and Learning Commons, which was dedicated on Parents’

Visiting Day in October, with contributions from more than six

hundred of you. Your gifts also helped us renovate the McFeely

library into classroom space to accommodate our history depart-

ment. Last year, gifts to scholarship funds made it possible for

scores of students to attend George School who would otherwise

not have been able to come. George School teachers also benefit-

ted from your generosity this past year, through your contribu-

tions to endowed faculty chairs and professional development

funds, and through your support of our Annual Fund. I also am

thrilled to report that thanks to your help, we met our ambitious

Annual Fund goal of $1.1 million.

Over the next year, I know that your gifts will be an inspiration

to others. On behalf of all of the current students, staff, and

faculty of George School, I want to thank you again for your belief

and commitment.

Sincerely,

“ Your gifts will be an inspiration to others. Thank you again for your belief and commitment.”

tions of our donors whose gifts instruct and inspire others.

What impresses you about George School? We have been very impressed by how our son Tony ’10 has changed, both in his academic study skills and his personality. In China, academics are most important. Service and growing as a person are not considered as important as they are at George School. Last year, Tony went on the Global Service Program (GSP), and this year, he was a leader for the program. We appreciate all the opportunities George School gave to Tony and to the whole family.

As parents, why do you give to the Annual Fund? We learned a lot from Barbara Dodd Anderson’s gift. It motivated us to give to George School. As parents, we want to become a giving model for our son, so that he can learn to give back to others.

With Tony in college, will your relationship with George School continue? Absolutely. We were very happy to join the George School community, to make friends, and to learn about the U.S. We will continue to give and to share what we learned with the China Parents Association. And we hope that GSP will keep grow-ing and that it—and our role in it—will continue for the next ten or twenty years.

Qi Gao and Nannan Xia p’10Parent annual Fund Donors*

The Gao Family lives in Shanghai and Tony plans to attend New York University next year. Following the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, they became involved in service projects there and worked with George School to launch the inaugural Global Service Program (GSP) to China in 2009. (More than a service trip, the GSP trains educators in how to lead international service trips.) The family also was instrumental in starting George School’s China Parents Association, which provides information, a website, and fellowship for Chinese families with children at or considering George School.

* Tuition covers less than 74 percent of the full cost of a George School education. The generosity of the Gao Family—and others who give to the Annual Fund—helps fill the gap, making the kinds of experiences Tony enjoyed available to countless students.

“ As parents, we want to become a giving model for our son, so that he can learn to give back to others.”

What prompted you to take on a fundraising campaign? I wanted to give back to a school that so beautifully and graciously embraced our family, not just our children. Our daughter Hannah ’11 is an avid rider and while cheer-ing her on, I noticed that the two riding rings needed to be resurfaced. I decided to raise money to resurface the rings and purchase a dedicated tractor to maintain them.

How did you get it done? With George School’s blessing, I worked with Michele Peruto, mother of DeAnna Meckling ’12, and we contacted every family involved in the equestrian program, whether in a PE class or on developmental, junior varsity, or varsity equestrian teams. Enthusiasm and support for the project were tremendous. We raised most of the $30,000 we needed in two weeks, and every gift made a difference. Even parents of seniors took part, despite the fact that their children had just one term left in school.

How do new rings benefit George School students? The excitement of the new rings has generated an elevated level of attention and support and awareness toward the equestrian program. On Alumni Weekend, after an equestrian show, my daughter said, “I have never seen so many people here.” Another rider described the new rings as “amazing…it’s like falling on a pillow.” With the new rings we have an environment where students can learn and explore—where they aren’t afraid to fall, pick themselves up, and try again. It’s just like the rest of their high school journey at George School.

Shelley Bitzer p’06, ’10, ’11Parent Volunteer and Donor*

Shelley Bitzer is the mother of four children, three of whom have attended George School, as did her mother-in-law, Mimi Bitzer ’55.

* Seeing a need and wanting to leave George School a little better than when her children arrived, Shelley Bitzer reached out to other parents to improve George School’s equestrian facilities. Both Shelley and the school are delighted by the terrific response and results.

“ When you’re passionate about something, and other people are too, asking for help is easy. I can’t wait for my next opportunity to give back.”

§ Sticky Bun Society

• John M. George Society

How has George School impacted your family? George School is a community where it’s cool to care about the world, it’s cool to be smart, and it’s cool to be creative. Our children thrived there. As they raise their children, they want to provide an education for them that is as nourishing and substantive as their George School education.

How did your family’s scholarship come to be? As both kids went through George School, we were impressed with former Head of School David Bourns. We approached him about making a donation to do innovative things. He asked if we had talked with our kids about what’s important to them. So we did, and they were clear that they wanted to establish a scholarship so that there would always be a deserving kid benefiting from a George School education.

Why did you recently add to your scholarship endowment? We love George School and current Head of School Nancy Starmer’s leadership. We wanted our endowment to keep on giving. The market didn’t treat endowments kindly and tuition has gone up. In order to have a fully-funded scholarship fund, we needed to add to it. We considered contributing to the school for a different purpose, but our kids feel consistently strong about this scholarship. To get a daughter-in-law we love who also is a George School graduate adds to our commit-ment, and including the kids in the process makes it even more meaningful.

Kit and Gerry Laybourne p’89, ’93scholarship endowment Fund*

Parents Lawrence (Kit) and Geraldine (Gerry), both educators, were thrilled with the George School experiences of daughter Emmy ’89 and son Sam ’93. At his tenth reunion, Sam reconnected with class-mate Herran Bekele ’93, and they married and had baby Skender. Emmy has two children, Elinor and Rex. Gerry hopes that when it’s time, the next generation will consider attending George School.

* The Laybourne Family Scholarship Fund was endowed in 1993. Endowments support George School’s future and provide lasting funds for financial aid, faculty support, facility enhancements, and special programs.

“ Our kids wanted to establish a lasting scholarship so that others can always benefit from a George School education.”
