ANNUAL REPORT 2009 - 2010 - Indian Springs School

THANK YOU FROM THE Director
THANK YOU From the DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT
Throughout the 2009-2010 fiscal year, we asked
you to invest in the lives of Springs students with your gifts to the school.
And now, we respond with a heartfelt “thank you.” With your generosity
and in the midst of a challenging economic climate, you helped us raise
a record amount — more than $540,000 — for the ISS Annual Fund.
Thank you - two words used so often in everyday life that they
sometimes seem to lose their meaning. But how else could we express
our deepest appreciation for your support? I hope this, our 2009-2010
Annual Report, will help us take one small step toward showing you how
and why we are grateful for your generosity.

That figure, however, represents more than dollars and cents. It represents
a commitment to Shelby Goodwin ’11 and Seth Appiah-Opoku ’11, who
are highlighted in this report, and their fellow students. It represents
support for our successful Varsity Soccer and Scholars Bowl Teams, and
the other extracurricular activities that accompany them. It represents
acts of individual generosity, such as the record-breaking gift by Stewart Hall ’84 to
the Annual Fund, and the joint efforts of others such as the Parents Association, the
faculty, and the Class of 1960. Above all, this figure represents a commitment to the
ideal, dating back to Doc Armstrong’s days, that the pursuit of excellence, community
and justice is an endeavor worthy of investment.
This year our friends – old and new alike – came together and took the
ISS Annual Fund to a new level. The support we received made the
impact of the Annual Fund greater than ever. I hope that you will join me
in celebrating this success. Without friends like you in our community,
achieving our goal would not have been possible.
