I am very grateful to each member of our dedicated board and staff, as well as to the administration and School Board. It is a pleasure to work with them on behalf of the extraordinary Shaker Heights City Schools, which contribute so much to our community and to society. This autumn, the Foundation will celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary. In preparation for that happy occasion, we have been reflecting on our accomplishments and the challenges yet before us. You will read about our history elsewhere in this Annual Report, but I want to point out several themes that have emerged. The Shaker Schools Foundation was founded in 1981 by citizens who beNancy Karr lieved that Shaker parents, graduates, and residents might make contributions in support of extra programs that were not covered by the District’s budget. It was the first foundation in the state of Ohio to raise funds for a public school system, and it was designed to receive “gifts and bequests for scholarships, capital improvements, and special programs for the ultimate benefit of the students of the Shaker Heights City School District,” according to our first president. As has often been the case, our community’s leaders made a pace-setting decision in support of our schools. The Shaker Schools bold,We are proud to continue providing resources to enrich the educational experiences of students in the Foundation provides Shaker Heights City School District. The generosity of our donors has enabled the Foundation to make a posidifference in the education of Shaker’s students. We resources to enrich the tive have done so through grants to teachers to fund programs that enhance learning and creativity; the underwriting of educational experience projects that support curriculum; awards that recognize our students’ achievements in academics, the arts, and cocurricular activities; and capital improvements to learnof students of the ing environments. During 2005, the Foundation awarded grants to 48 teachers in support of programs that included the purShaker Heights City chase of materials for digital portfolios to record elementary students’ accomplishments; the creation of a Latin School District. dance class for High School students and their parents to increase interest in language and culture; and a variety of projects to nurture all academic areas. Donors established endowed funds to celebrate a parent’s milestone birthday as well as to honor the lives of several Shaker students and a faculty member. To recognize their generosity and the support of the larger community, we hosted our first donor reception in April 2005. A few weeks later, the Foundation went “on the road” to reach out to alumni who live and work in New York City. Our campaign to renovate the small auditorium at the High School reached its $400,000 goal, because our extraordinary community responded with enthusiasm and generosity. These are only a few of the highlights of our busy year, and we thank you for making the Shaker Schools Foundation’s ongoing service to the Shaker Schools possible. We are grateful to be in a position to help realize your dreams, and we look forward to many more years of working together to ensure that our community’s children receive the best education in Ohio. Thank you. Nancy Karr President 3 History The Shaker Schools Foundation The establishment of a foundation that builds an endowment for a public institution is a radical departure for public schools, and the Shaker Schools Foundation is among the first of its kind to be created in the country.” (Shaker Schools Foundation’s first Annual Report, 19821983). As early as the 1970s, Shaker residents were discussing whether a foundation could be established to support the school system. Their vision became reality on November 18, 1981, when the Shaker Schools Foundation was incorporated. It was the first foundation in the state of Ohio to support public schools and was established with the purpose of receiving gifts for scholarships, capital improvements, and special programs to benefit the students in the Shaker Heights City School District. That intention has guided the Foundation during its entire existence and was rearticulated as a mission statement in 2001: The Shaker Schools Foundation provides resources to enrich the educational experience of students of the Shaker Heights City School District. It is widely accepted that the quality of life in Shaker Heights depends on the reputation of its schools. Since the opening of the community’s first school in 1912, the District has developed and sus- tained an educational program that challenges each student to work toward superior scholastic achievement. Shaker Heights is home to one of the country’s preeminent school districts because its residents are committed to a community that is diverse and vibrant and to a public school system of the highest quality. By supporting teaching and learning in the District, the Shaker Schools Foundation helps the city attract residents who value education, as well as the very best faculty and administrators who will uphold these high ideals. Throughout its existence, the Shaker Schools Foundation has enhanced classroom instruction at all grade levels with grants to t e a c h e r s and for projects and has made awards to individual students to recognize their academic success and encourage their pursuit of advanced studies. In 2001, the Foundation decided to explore additional opportunities to support the entire school district and, in 2002, initiated a capital campaign to improve the high school’s two auditoriums. The small auditorium was renovated and outfitted with technology upgrades to create a 100-seat academic space for lectures, multimedia presentations, technology-enhanced instruction, and small-group rehearsals and performances. The Foundation raised $400,000 for this project, which was com- Shaker Schools Foundation Timeline 1981 4 Shaker Schools Foundation is incorporated on November 18. 1982 Four endowed funds are established with the Foundation to support teaching and learning at all grade levels. CELEBRATING 25 YEARS pleted in November 2003 and continues to provide a greatly improved learning environment. Now the Shaker Schools Foundation is seeking capital funds of $1.4 million to refurbish the large auditorium. Used for a variety of High School and District activities, the large auditorium is notable for its architectural beauty. Restoring the space to its original splendor while retrofitting it for state-of-the-art sound, lighting, and technology will create a venue commensurate with the performances of Shaker’s theater and music programs. The renovation also will provide an exceptional environment for classes, presentations, and meetings. In 1991, several community leaders sought the Foundation’s opinion of a gala event that could raise funds for the schools. Their idea, A Night for the Red & White White, made its debut on February 27, 1992. Since that time, the popular annual benefit has raised more than $1 million to support technology, the arts, and humanities in the Shaker schools. This community project is a testament to the efforts of hundreds of volunteers, working on behalf of Shaker’s children. Throughout its history, the Shaker Schools Foundation has provided a means for individuals and organizations to express their gratitude for and belief in the work of the Shaker Heights City Schools. 1983 In February, author and illustrator Steven Kellogg spends a morning with elementary school students and the afternoon with art classes at the High School. The Shaker Schools Foundation provides funding for his visit. 1981-2006 SHAKER SCHOOLS FOUNDATION With gifts from a large community of donors, the Foundation has been able to offer students and faculty a variety of educational experiences that would not otherwise have been possible. The years to come hold much promise and many opportunities for continued service. The Shaker Schools Foundation, guided by its committed board of trustees and supported by a growing cohort of contributors, is ready to embrace its future. 1988 An enrichment grant from the Foundation helps provide scholarships for an elementary school field trip to Greenfield Village in Michigan. Teacher reports indicate that for some, this has been the first long-distance bus ride, the first overnight school trip, or the first excursion outside of Ohio. 5 Contributors for the fiscal year January 1 to December 31, 2005 The Shaker Schools Foundation is grateful to the donors listed below for their generous support of the Shaker Heights City Schools through gifts to the 2005 Annual Fund, the 2005 A Night for the Red & White, and the High School Auditorium Campaign, as well as special gifts, memorial gifts, tribute gifts, and endowment gifts.

The Foundation raises more than $400,000 from generous donors to pay for the project. 11 Funds Since its inception, the Shaker Schools Foundation has encouraged donations in honor or in memory of an individual or family. When gifts reach $2,000, a named endowment fund is established, and income from such funds helps support teaching and learning in the Shaker Heights City Schools. The first six funds created in the Foundation’s early years represent the themes that have continued over the past 25 years: honoring the contributions or memory of faculty members, students, and loved ones and supporting academic activities. Today 58 funds help fulfill the mission of the Shaker Schools Foundation by supporting programs that enrich curricula, encourage and celebrate student achievement, provide professional development, and enhance learning environments.

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS A Nightfor the Red and White The Friends of the Shaker Schools Foundation presented A Night for the Red & White on March 19, 2005, at the Inter-Continental Hotel. This extraordinary benefit broke all records for attendance and proceeds, raising more than $140,000 to enhance technology, the arts, and humanities in each of the Shaker Heights City Schools. The first A Night for the Red & White was held in 1992, and since that time these events have contributed over $1 million to enrich learning for Shaker’s students. Many thanks and congratulations to the volunteers who spent countless hours planning the 2005 event – and to the community for its generous support. 2005 COMMITTEE Executive Committee Silent Auction Payment Chair: Nancy Gallagher Deb Domeck Susan Hughes Robin Johnson Jennifer Wright Silent Auction Solicitation Shaker Schools Foundation Liaison Chair: Julia Pollock Christine Auginas Administrative Support Erica Verderber Advertising Chair: Jennifer Mearns Corporate Sponsors Co-Chairs: Stasia Vavruska, Betsy Williams Public Relations Chair: Molly Freeman Catalog Design and Production Co-Chairs: Patty Clair, Kelly Licina, Stacey Reed Catalog Distribution Co-Chairs: Pearl Ling, Holly Wang Decorations Chair: Pam Caldes Silent Auction Close Out Chair: Pam Murphy Silent Auction Warehousing and Set-Up Treasure Chest Co-Chairs: Mary Hundert, Kathryn Meals Mailing Co-Chairs: Cathy Mitro, Amy Catlett Student Art Show Chair: Jean Koznarek Breakdown Chair: John Murphy Registration Co-Chairs: Jessica Semel, Susan Mayer-Livingston PTO Liaison Kathy Rohacz Teacher Liaison Dollye Finney Web Page Design Claudia McCord Chair: Debbie Sords Silent Auction Display Chairs: Renee Boyle, Kara Carter, Maureen O’Neill 2005 The Foundation launches a $1.4 million fundraising campaign to restore and renovate the High School’s Large Auditorium. 1981-2006 SHAKER SCHOOLS FOUNDATION 2006 The Shaker Schools Foundation celebrates its 25th anniversary. 13 Peter’s Garden Donors Ground was broken in October 2004 for a very special project at Onaway Elementary School – Peter’s Garden.
