Mission

Statement

Our goal is to educate students to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners and to pursue academic excellence and individual achievement, in a context of respect for others and service to the community.

We believe that learning should be active and experiential, with the School providing abundant opportunities for students to excel. We accept students with a range of abilities and talents who can take full advantage of a rich and demanding academic program in which each student is both challenged and supported.

We seek to create within the School a community built on understanding and respecting others. Thus, our student body traditionally refl ects the racial and cultural diversity of our city, and our curriculum is built on inter-disciplinary studies to promote understanding of many cultures. While individual achievementis encouraged and rewarded,our program underscores the value of shared goals,friendship and cooperation in mastering diffi cult tasks.

The progressive ideals that in 1921 gave life and inspiration to the School- academic excellence and creativity, active learning and innovative teaching, respect for the individual and responsibilityto the community-continue to guide the School today.

Letter from the Board Chair

Dear LREI Family, Alumni and Friends,

Another summer has ended and as we welcome everyone back to LREI for another school year, I must pause for a moment to refl ect on what a remarkable year it was!

In 2004 the Board of Trustees laid out an exciting vision for the future of LREI and this past year we saw that vision continue to unfold in exciting ways. The inclusion of the townhouse at Charlton Street gave our High School students much needed space and created a true downtown campus for LREI; renovations at Sixth Avenue guaranteed that children in all divisions benefi ted from our eff orts; and, the amount of tuition remission given to LREI students supported our core mission — all these things, and many others, happened in just this past year. This growth will continue, no doubt, in the year to come.

On the following pages you will fi nd listed those who gave to LREI this past year. I am forever in awe by the generosity of our community, and thank each and every one of you for your contributions. It is because of you that this year was such a success.

It would be remiss of me not to extend a special word of gratitude to a few members of our community who helped make this all possible. Of course, our Director, Phil Kassen, who works every day to ensure that Elisabeth Irwin’s vision does not falter and only continues to evolve in an ever-changing world. With Phil’s commitment and spirit as our guiding force, it is diffi cult to imagine us not succeeding. Thank you, Phil, for your leadership and vision. To my fellow Trustees, a special thank you for all you do for LREI. Your dedication and generosity to the school — both in time and fi nancial commitment — goes above and beyond what any Board Chair could hope. You set the bar for the rest of the community to follow — and follow theydo — as countless volunteers gave again tirelessly of their time and talents to make every event at LREI a special one. None of this would have been possible without you.

LREI enjoys the generous support of many deeply loyal friends. For that, we are profoundly thankful.

With warm regards to you all,

Michael Patrick ‘71Chair, LREI Board of Trustees

Letter from the Director

Dear LREI Community,

Welcome back! As I write this I imagine the fi rst day of school fi lled with excitement and energy. Students will return from a summer fi lled with adventureand relay their tales of such to one another. The joy seen in their faces asthey greet old friends and meet new friends is a true indication of the warm and welcoming community that is LREI.

While 43 students le� us in June to go to college and begin a diff erent chapterin their lives, another group is just beginning their LREI experience and all that ithas to off er. This past year saw remarkable growth in the school – enrollment was as high as ever; our High School facility grew; and, each division saw programmatic changes that will impact each child in the classroom every day.

In the following pages you will fi nd more indicators of this growth and the strength of our community, namely the generosity of our families and friends who gave much this past year. It's a special testament to LREI that we all come together to support this unique institution.

A major milestone was completed this past year as we expanded our Charlton Street campus to include the townhouse at 42 Charlton Street. Our High School students found themselves in an expanded space with additional classrooms, a courtyard, a new music room and a new student lounge. The faculty at Charlton Street has additional and appropriate spaces that will support their excellent teaching and our vibrant program. New Admissions and College Guidance offi ces give students, faculty/staff and parents a place to meet that is as vibrant and compelling as the school itself.

At Sixth Avenue, renovations were made to the Second Grade classrooms, the cafeteria and the roof. As we continue our eff orts with the Building for Action campaign, our families and students willcontinue to see growth and change on both campuses at LREI.

It goes without saying that none of the above accomplishments could have taken place without thesupport and generosity of our families and friends. To these individuals I extend my heartfelt gratitudeand appreciation for all you do for LREI. Without you none of this would have been possible.

I look forward to another school year and the growth of our students and our institution. Thank you for making it possible.

Warm regards,

Philip Kassen Director, LREI

Endowment & Restricted Giving

How to Establish an Endowed FundThe endowment is a vital resource to LREI and income from the endowment supports a variety of purposes within the School’s operating budget. To discuss how individual or family interests may match a need at LREI please contact the Offi ce of Advancement.

Ways of GivingThere are many ways to make a charitable contribution to LREI and each type of gi� has potential tax benefi ts to the donor who itemizes deductions. The following descriptions are intended to draw a� ention to the diff erent options that are available. This information is not intended to provide specifi c fi nancial or tax advice that individuals should seek from their personal fi nancial advisors.

Gifts of CashThe majority of gi� s to LREI are cash contributions, for which donors may receive tax benefi ts. Cash gi� s may be put to immediate use by the School for programs, endowment and projects.

Gifts of SecuritiesMany donors may realize substantial tax advantages by transferring stock to the School. Gi� s of securities are valued at the median price on the date of transfer to LREI. Capital gains on the amount of appreciation may be avoided and, depending on the donor’s personal tax situation, he or she may receive a tax deduction for the full market value of the stock. For details on how to make a gi� of securities to LREI, please contact the Offi ce of Advancement.

Other PropertyA gi� of tangible property to LREI may result in a tax deduction for the donor. Gi� s-in-kind are items such as works of art, equipment, books, furniture, antiques, real estate and similar non-monetary contributions. If you have a question about a gi� of tangible property, more information is available through the Offi ce of Advancement.

Deferred Gifts & BequestsMany individuals discover that they can make a substantial gi� to LREI through a bequest provision, a life income gi� or trust. The Offi ce of Advancement can provide details about the planned giving vehicles that are available. There are tax advantages

associated with each type of gi� and individuals should seek the advice of their own fi nancial advisors before creating or revising an estate plan.

The Andrew J. McLaren Scholarship FundThe Andrew J. McLaren Scholarship Fund was created by an initial gift from the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation and individual members of the LREI community. The Fund is a permanent endowment that helps support one or more outstanding students who demonstrate academic achievement and leadership, and are actively involved in the LREI community through athletics, student government and/or community service.

Milly & Mel Salwen

The Elisabeth Irwin Heritage SocietyNamed in honor of the School’s founder, the society is dedicated to recognizing and honoring those thoughtful and generous members of the school community who have made a provision for LREI either through a bequest, a life income gift, a charitable trust arrangement, or an estate plan. Their forward-looking support is creating a lasting heritage of leadership at LREI. To join the Elisabeth Irwin Society, simply inform the Office of Advancement that you have made a provision for LREI in your will or name the school as a beneficiary in a life income gift or other deferred giving arrangement.
