2019-2020 ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING - Allendale Columbia …

2019-2020 ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING

2

The past 12 months have been among the most turbulent in the history of our school, yet

Allendale Columbia has emerged strong academically, financially, and collegially. Your

monetary support and encouragement have bolstered the faculty, staff, and volunteer

leadership of AC. We heard from alumni and friends as well as current and former parents who

expressed their sincere desire to see Allendale Columbia School not only succeed but flourish.

Among our collective accomplishments this year, you have helped us to:

• Conclude our fiscal year in a positive financial position with no draw from our endowment for the first time in a decade.

• Raise $4 million in gifts and grants to AC’s Annual Fund, which provides valuable support for school operations, primarily in the areas of student scholarship and faculty/staff salaries. This is the most the school has ever raised in a one-year timeframe.

• Transition seamlessly to a remote learning environment for all AC students in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

• Host a safe, physically-distanced, on-campus Commencement ceremony for 31 seniors and their families, giving them the opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments.

• Develop a new early childhood education program for students 18-months to 3 years-old called AC Little School.

• Create a new position on the Leadership Team for a Director of Equity & Community

Outreach.

We thank you for your generous contributions from July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020. We are

working tirelessly over the summer to prepare for a strong, supportive 2020-2021 school year

for our students, whose social, emotional, and academic health remain our first priority.

This fall the AC Board of Trustees will begin a national search for our next Head of School. We

thank Mike Gee for his eight years of service to AC, and we wish him well in his new academic

adventure.

We look forward to renewing our friendships with you and to meeting those who we haven’t

connected with yet. It may be a little more challenging to engage in person this fall, but we

will do our best to reach out to you as valued members of the AC community.

Kind regards,

Shannon Baudo Karen HigmanInterim Head of School Director of Advancement & Alumni Relations

Dear Friends and Supporters of Allendale Columbia School,

At AC, learning extends beyond the classroom and into the real world.

What we’ve accomplished

TOGETHER2019-2020

Students share experiences in French

French II students read the short

stories they wrote to fourth graders

as part of the AC Center for Global

Engagement’s “Global Buddies”

program. This program enables

Upper School language students

and members of the Global

Engagement Club to share their

language skills and cultural learning

experiences with Lower School

students in a casual setting. Being an N-12 school, AC is able

to easily facilitate cross-divisional exchanges, such as this, to

create lasting and impactful relationships between all grades.

AC hosts students from Mexico

Last year, AC students traveled to The

Harkness Institute in Mexico as part

the Center for Global Engagement’s

commitment to providing diverse and

accessible travel opportunities to all

its students geared around service

learning, cultural immersion, and/

or entrepreneurship. This year, the

roles were reversed as AC hosted the

Mexican students here in Rochester

for a week-long cultural exchange. The visiting students attended

classes at AC, toured Rochester, and visited Niagara Falls.

TEDxAllendaleColumbiaSchool

For the eighth year in a row, Upper School students experienced

the real-world challenges of developing and producing a TEDx

event. As an entirely student-run initiative, students were

responsible for everything, including developing a theme,

recruiting speakers, planning, promotion, and day-of execution

of the event. The students hope to continue to use TEDx as a

forum for people to share their passions, ideas, and experiences.

This year’s 11 speakers included retired U.S. Army Colonel and

biodefense expert Mark Kortepeter, Adrian Hale, Kerry Dunn, and

numerous students and community members.

AC student-musician performs at

the Kennedy Center

AC freshman, Lilah Costanzo, was accepted as a member of

the Rochester Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (RPYO) for the

2019-2020 season. The orchestra, comprised of 80 students

from across Greater Rochester, provides advanced music

students with orchestral performance and mentorship

opportunities. In February, the RPYO traveled to our nation’s

capital to perform at the Kennedy Center for President’s Day.

Second graders build their own city, Birchville

As part of AC’s project-based learning in Lower School,

second graders learned about cities and what goes

into designing and building them. Throughout this unit,

students applied concepts of engineering and the arts

as they designed blueprints of their ideal city. They

then presented their proposal to a mock city planning

board, comprised of Head of School, Mr. Gee, Head of

Lower School Mrs. Feiss, Head of Middle School Mrs.

Duver, Director of the AC Invent Center Ms. Crosby, and

Director of Food Service Mrs. Reynolds.

After receiving feedback from the mock city planning

board, the students were ready to design their own 3D city. Public transportation was an issue the mock planning board raised, so the

second grade students began to research this topic and met with Manager of Special Projects for the City of Rochester, Erik Frisch to discuss

different transportation systems and city planning in Rochester.

Next, students wrote and sent emails to members of the AC community asking what is needed to make a community great. One response

they got was about a homeless shelter and how shelters are an integral part of a community. Once the students learned this, a deep and

meaningful class discussion took place, resulting in their decision to include a homeless shelter in Birchville. This conversation also moved

them to want to take immediate action to help those affected by homelessness in the Rochester community, so they decided to sell the

crock-pot applesauce they’d been making in their classroom each week. The sale generated $140 which the students then donated to RAIHN,

a non-profit that assists homeless families to achieve sustainable independence by supporting them with shelter, food, personalized case

management and a network of caring volunteers.

The students decided early on that they wanted art to be a part of Birchville, so they took a field trip around Rochester viewing a variety

of sculptures to help determine what they wanted in their own city. Then, Art Teacher Mrs. Ellmaker helped them design a collaborative

sculpture (called “Colorful Life”) which is located in the center of Birchville.

The formal “ribbon-cutting” of Birchville was held on Monday, December 9th.

AC ranks in Top Best STEM High Schools in America

Allendale Columbia School ranks as one of Newsweek’s Top 5,000 STEM High Schools in America! In partnership with STEM.org, Newsweek analyzed more than 30,000 high schools in the country over a three-year period to determine the rankings.

NASA thanks AC sixth graders for their research

Clayton Turner,

Director of the NASA

Langley Research

Center, returned to

campus to discuss the

important role our sixth

grade students play

in on-going scientific

studies and research.

Students served as

citizen scientists,

reporting more than

330 cloud observations.

This data is being used

by NASA researchers to

improve the interpretation of satellite readings, provide ground-

based data on contrails, and help better calculate the rate of heat

exchange in the atmosphere.
