Alumni, parents, grandparents, 

trustees, friends, faculty and staff: 

It is with a joyful heart that I express my gratitude for all 

that you have provided St. Francis Episcopal Day School. 

You continue to be a crucial part of providing an extraordinary 

educational experience for our students and upholding 

the mission of this fine institution. 

Our community provided more than $756,000 in annual 

fund contributions, and $974,231 in overall giving during 

the 2007-2008 school year. Through your gifts, St. Francis 

continues to live up to its well-established traditions of 

academic excellence and providing an environment that helps 

to raise students who are people for others. 

Our students’ achievements are rooted in the sustained 

support and involvement of the St. Francis community. 

Your contributions to annual fund and capital gifts have 

helped to make these opportunities possible. 

Among the many areas of our school that have benefited 

from your giving dollars this year, the following are just 

a few examples of your gifts at work. Thanks to your 

generous gifts, we were able to: 

• Provide additional classroom supplies and support 

• Send more teachers to valuable, pertinent training 

• Enhance security to safeguard our campus and students 

• Present students with the opportunity to enter and 

participate in national academic competitions 

• Give the lasting gift of education through student 

scholarships 

• Enrich student learning through the renovation of 

the Crum Library 

On behalf of the faculty, staff and students, thank you 

for supporting the continued growth of our school. 

Sincerely, 

Susan B. Lair, Ph.D.

Presidential Award for Excellence in Teaching 

Debbie N. Harris, seventh grade science teacher, won 

one of the top educator’s awards in the nation, the 

PAEMST. She and 98 other educators received the 

annual Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics 

and Science Teaching for 2007 during a ceremony held 

in Washington, D.C. on Friday, May 2. She joined a 

group of elite educators who were selected from mathematics 

and science teachers in all 50 states and the 

District of Columbia. The awards are administered by 

the National Science Foundation. 

Academics on Display at PSIA Competition 

St. Francis Episcopal Day School placed second in 

the state competition of Private Schools Interscholastic 

Association (PSIA), held in San Antonio on Saturday, 

May 10. Students who qualified to compete at the 

state level and their achievements were: fifth graders 

John Pederson (Vocabulary, second place) and 

Collin McGrath (Listening Skills); sixth graders Kasey 

French (Poetry Interpretation, fourth place), Kaitlin 

Karcher (Poetry Interpretation, third place) and Jojo 

Diesel (On-Site Drawing); and eighth grader Austin 

Porter (Vocabulary, second place). St. Francis eighth 

graders also placed second in the state in the One- 

Act Play competition, with Katherine Moore, Emily 

Statham, Nathalie Seidl and Caroline Montgomery 

winning individual recognition. PSIA is a statewide 

organization that inspires student achievement 

through academic competition. Students in first 

through eighth grade volunteer to compete in contests 

in 19 different academic areas. 

Deep in the Art of Texas 

The St. Francis entry for the Houston Livestock Show 

and Rodeo’s Mustang Mania 2008 was dazzling. The 

student group decided on a western heritage theme. 

One side of the mustang depicts a sunset scene with 

a herd of wild mustangs racing across the western 

plains, signifying the end of the untamed west. The

other side shows a sunrise with a long barbed-wire 

fence, a cowboy and his dog, rooster, windmill, and 

oil well pump in the background. This scene signifies 

the beginning of the modern western culture. 

Above the sun scenes and arching over the mustang’s 

head, back and tail, is the great and wide western sky 

full of starry night twinkles, novas, and constellations. 

There is even an NASA astronaut tethered to 

the shuttle floating along the side of the mustang’s 

neck. Bluebonnets and Indian paint brush blossoms 

wind up the mustang’s hooves and legs so as to attach 

him to the soil of his western roots. The mustang, 

on permanent display on the primary school lawn, is 

titled “Deep in the Art of Texas,” and was carried out 

in the pointillism technique. 

A New Tradition of Giving 

Barker’s Pajamarama had its inception this year in 

primary school. Primary school students collected 

and paired pajamas with books to donate to the 

Pajama Program, a national program that works with 

agencies in the U.S. and abroad to provide new, warm 

pajamas and books to children in need, some of whom 

are waiting and hoping to be adopted. Fifth grade 

student Taylor Ly orchestrated the pajama drive as a 

service project. Ly said he hopes the younger students 

will enjoy the experience so that they will remember 

that it is good to help others in need. 

Celebrating America’s Traditions 

To honor and experience the past, present and 

future of all things Texas, the primary school staged 

a “Texas State Fair.” Children experienced all of the 

components of the Texas State Fair, combining events 

of county fairs with our own Houston Livestock Show 

and Rodeo. The day was filled with a “kidway” with 

games old and new, rodeo motor events, music and 

dance, a livestock exhibit, art show and even a bake-off!

2007-2008 

Board of 

Trustees 

A s a parish school, St. Francis 

Episcopal Day School is governed 

by a Board of Trustees which is 

made up of parents, alumni, vestry 

and prominent community members. 

The makeup of the Board is 

governed by Canon Law of the 

Diocese of Texas, and led by the 

Rector or his recommendation for 

Chair. Sixty percent of the Board 

is required to be Church Communicants 

(members in good standing), 

as well as 51% of the Board 

must have at least one child at the 

day school at the time of their first

of Board governance is 

eligible for nomination and may 

volunteer for the role. Members 

are elected to a three year term, 

renewable up to three terms (nine 

years), and act solely in the best 

interest of the school. 

They are the financial keepers of 

the day school, charged with the 

fiduciary responsibility of providing 

financial direction, security 

and long-term strategy. Yet, above 

all, it is the board’s responsibility

Focused on the Future 

Meeting the Needs of Today 

Carol Por ter, J.D., Chairman of the Board of Trustees 

When my oldest daughter presented the eighth grade tie to her younger sister this year 

at the St. Francis eighth grade tie ceremony, she said, “Enjoy St. Francis while you can.” 

While some of her sentiment may have been motivated by nostalgia for younger years, 

she was primarily motivated by the incredible and, sometimes intangible, aspects of a 

St. Francis education. 

Last spring the families of St. Francis responded to a survey asking about the possibility of 

adding a high school to the current St. Francis program. We received 415 responses from 

the survey, with 74.9% of the respondents stating they were “leaning toward” or “strongly 

want” to add a high school. The board of trustees reviewed this survey and will include 

the results of the study in its long-term vision for the future growth and expansion of 

St. Francis Episcopal Day School. Included within the possibilities the Board is considering 

this year are the renovation of the primary school, the expansion of our athletic facilities 

and the long-term goal of the addition of a high school. Imagine what our award-winning 

athletic teams could achieve with a state-of-the-art stadium, track, baseball field, dedicated 

field hockey and lacrosse fields, and an indoor gym. Imagine further those eighth graders 

receiving their ties knowing they can extend the St. Francis experience beyond the eighth 

grade. 

In addition to the long-term capital needs of St. Francis, the board of trustees is working 

diligently this year on improving the future of St. Francis by focusing on diversity and 

financial assistance. We do not intend to simply formulate policies about diversity and 

financial assistance, put them on the web site, then move on. Diversity will be incorporated 

into every aspect of St. Francis campus life, from employment practices to curriculum 

in academics, the arts, religion, and athletics. The board of trustees is also committed 

to formulating a policy on financial assistance that will embody the phrase, “people for 

others.” In support of that policy, the board of trustees will increase the financial assistance 

budget in an effort to become a leader among area independent schools in terms of 

the percentage of the student body receiving assistance and the percentage of the budget 

devoted to this purpose. If St. Francis is to continue to distinguish itself, these two goals 

are paramount. 

For more than fifty years, St. Francis has responded to the needs and capabilities of each 

student, providing opportunities for growth and achievement in a Christian community 

with the beliefs and traditions of the Episcopal Church. As we embark on the future, 

we celebrate our mission and guiding principles and affirm the heritage and traditions of 

St. Francis Episcopal Day School, which serve as the foundation of our future endeavors. 

We understand that the next phase of our history will require both tradition and innovation 

as we prepare students to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives as responsible citizens 

and capable leaders. 

Carol Porter is chairman of the St. Francis Episcopal Day School Board of Trustees, 

as well as an attorney for the Fourteenth Court of Appeals state appellate court. She 

is responsible for drafting opinions and handling administrative matters for nine 

judges. She has also taught legal writing to first-year law students at the University 

of Houston and drafted opinions for Justice Carlton B. Dodson of the Seventh Court 

of Appeals in Amarillo, Texas. She is a graduate of Baylor University and is married 

with two daughters – Laura ’06 and Abby ’09.

Endowed Investing 

John H. Duncan, Jr., Chairman of the Investment Committee, ‘69 

As chairman of the Board’s Investment Committee, and sponsor of the school’s Investment Club, 

I am often asked about the school’s investments and, in particular, our Endowment. To provide a 

better understanding about the important role our Endowment plays in the school’s finances, I have 

prepared the following questions and answers. 

What is an Endowment? 

The technical definition of an Endowment is “funds or property donated to an institution, 

individual, or group to create an investment that will provide a source of income.” Typically, gifts 

to Endowment are held in perpetuity, that is to say that the earnings from the gift may be spent, but 

the corpus, the original gift, must remain in tact. At St. Francis Episcopal Day School, the Endowment 

is made up partially from permanently restricted donations, but it also consists of funds that 

the Board of Trustees has discretion over to best serve the mission of the school. 

What are the goals of the St. Francis Endowment? 

The Board has established a policy through which the Endowment supports the school’s operating 

fund annually. The school follows a conservative policy of drawing only 3% of the Endowment’s 

three-year trailing average balance for this purpose. This policy allows the school to have a predictable 

source of income annually while permitting the Endowment itself to grow. 

How are gifts to the Endowment different from gifts to the Annual Fund? 

Both have as their primary purpose supporting the school’s operating fund. Gifts given to the 

Annual Fund are used in the following year by the school. Gifts to the Endowment have a greater 

impact on the school’s long-term goals and continue to provide support year after year. 

Who manages the Endowment? 

The Endowment is managed by the Board of Trustees Investment Committee with the assistance of 

investment specialists. The Committee currently retains two financial consulting groups to assist in 

the day-to-day management of the Endowment and to provide counsel toward future investments. 

Overall our approach is conservative and focused on long-term stable growth that provides for 

future generations of St. Francis students. The Investment Committee also operates within an asset 

allocation matrix approved by the Board. 

How are gifts to the Endowment received? 

Donations designated to the St. Francis Episcopal Day School Endowment are immediately invested 

in the unrestricted portion of the Endowment. Stocks, bonds, and other items for which a donor 

does not want to pay capital gains tax may also be donated directly to the Endowment in their 

current form. The school’s policy is to sell securities immediately and invest the proceeds. The 

donor receives the full, fair market value of the gift on the date the contribution is received by 

St. Francis and a corresponding charitable income tax deduction. 

The St. Francis Endowment is comparatively young and will need continued investment to grow. 

The school’s annual operating fund is presently eleven million, and it is recommended that a 

sufficient endowment equal at least two and a half times an organization’s annual budget. The 

Endowment is currently less than eleven million and therefore provides only a small portion of the 

school’s annual income. However, with the support of the community and continued prudent investment 

and growth, the Endowment can be a key component in providing ongoing stable support for 

our school. 

For more information on giving to the Endowment please contact the 

Director of Major Gifts, Laurie Bilger, J.D. at lbilger@sfedshouston.org. 

Johnny Duncan is chairman of the Investment Committee. He holds an MBA from Southern 

Methodist University and a BBA in finance from the University of Texas at Austin. He is 

married with three daughters who are all St. Francis graduates.

Strategic Financial Planning 

Patricia N. Turner, J.D., Finance Committee Chair 

The Board is charged with furthering the school’s mission and ensuring long-term 

financial stability. Furthermore, the Board is entrusted to be guardians of, and provide 

a vision for, the school’s future. As such, the core activity of the Board is planning, 

not only for today’s students but the students of the future. Mindful of this charge, 

the Board is once again preparing and updating the St. Francis Episcopal Day School 

Strategic Financial Plan. The Board worked on the school’s initial six-year strategic 

plan in 2006; however, the needs of the school and the community it encompasses 

have changed since that time, and the Board feels it is time to update the plan. 

The Strategic Financial Plan focuses on viability related issues, primarily relating 

to money, organizational structures, and facilities that are relative to, but separate 

from, curriculum, student programs and instruction. The Strategic Financial Plan 

also takes into account stability markers set out by Independent School Management 

(ISM), which provide a guide for predicting the school’s ability to sustain programmatic 

excellence over time. 

The end goal of the Strategic Financial Plan is to provide the school and its leaders 

with a comprehensive road map for the future of the school. This should in turn 

offer a framework within which the short-term and long-term goals of the school can 

be met, while providing guidance and stability for tuition, facilities, and faculty salaries. 

By putting this framework in place ahead of time, decisions large and small can 

be made easily and ensure that excellence in the classroom can be sustained. 

In developing this plan, the Board will review the current and future needs of the 

school along with the concerns of its constituency, the market, and the school’s 

mission. We value your trust and thank you for your support. 

Patricia “Patti” Turner is the chairman of 

finance for St. Francis Episcopal Day School. 

She is the owner/operator of Truluck’s Restaurant 

Group. Previously she practiced as 

an attorney with several local law firms. She 

received a juris doctorate from South Texas 

College of Law and a bachelor’s degree in political 

science from State University of New 

York College at Buffalo. Patti is married with 

three children. Her twins are eighth-graders at 

St. Francis and her stepson is a U.S. Marine. 

She has been a member of St. Francis Episcopal 

Church since 1997.

FuI wish 


Head of Institutional 

Advancement 

to express heartfelt thanks to the hundreds of Annual Fund donors 

listed on the following pages. This thanks is offered on behalf of the 800+ 

students attending St. Francis Episcopal Day School. We all know that 

St. Francis is a special and blessed place that nurtures young people, 

ignites creative minds, and builds character and poise. No single fundraising 

effort supports our mission better than the Annual Fund. 

Simply put, Annual Fund is about teaching and learning. The parents, 

grandparents, alumni, alumni parents, faculty, and friends of the school 

who give each and every year are the pillars of our campaign. The school 

counts on you to help bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the 

actual cost of educating our students the St. Francis way. Thanks to your 

active partnership, our students receive a well-rounded and exciting 

education from top-notch teachers. 

I was once told that tuition is the apple, and Annual Fund is the polish 

on the apple. Thank you for making our program shine! 

Please know that we have made ever y effort to ensure the accuracy of this report 

and that all donors have been represented correctly. We apologize for any oversights 

and ask you to please contact our office regarding corrections or concerns.

SARAH W. WooLRICH FUND 

Inspired teaching is often what makes the difference between a child merely 

attending school and one who truly enjoys learning. It is in this spirit that 

St. Francis Episcopal Day School established the Sarah W. Woolrich Fund for 

Faculty — designed to enhance the educational experience of our students by 

first expanding the horizons of our teachers. 

This fund is dedicated to our school’s first principal, Sarah (“Sally” as she is 

known to many) Woolrich. Mrs. Woolrich made a life of teaching, guiding 

and inspiring the futures of her St. Francis students. It was her belief that 

there is a moment for each child when the “light bulb goes on.” Finding this 

for her students was Sally Woolrich’s mission. She encouraged her teachers to 

bring elements from the world into their classrooms in order to reach into the 

imaginations of our children and make learning come to life. 

In keeping with this philosophy, the Sarah W. Woolrich Fund for Faculty 

provides funding to provide special learning opportunities for faculty and 

staff members of the school. Each year awards are made from the Woolrich 

Fund to underwrite unique professional development opportunities ranging 

from teaching skills and curriculum development to travels abroad. In fact, 

with the support of the St. Francis community, more than 37 teachers have 

benefited from Woolrich Fund awards — bringing back invaluable skills and 

experiences for our children. Students hear first-hand accounts of Spanish 

life, retrace the steps of Christ in the Holy Land, and are exposed to cutting 

edge technology as a result of the Woolrich Fund. 

To learn more about the Sarah W. Woolrich Fund for Faculty, or make a donation, 

please contact Stacy Allen at 713.458.6129 or sallen@sfedshouston.org.

in honor of Edie Powers 


My experience to travel to Israel was one I will never 

forget. I want to thank each one of you for making my 

trip possible and allowing me to walk where Jesus ministered. 

As I look back on my experience, I am excited to 

share with the kids the places I was able to see and the 

lessons I learned – from the boat ride on the Sea of Galilee, 

reading Matthew 5 on the Mount of Beatitudes, walking 

down Massada, floating in the Dead Sea, Qumran, praying 

at the Garden of Gethsemane, reading Psalm 23 at 

the Shepherds field, crossing the border to Jordan, walking 

around Petra, and so many more experiences I could 

write about. When I read the Bible I can now say I have 

been in some of those places and share that experience 

with others. I thank you again for allowing me to have a 

life changing experience and pray the kids will learn from 

my journey!

Library 

Club 

There is no greater gift to give a child than 

a passion for reading. For it is within the 

pages of a book that the imagination of a 

child comes to life. It is where the impossible 

becomes plausible and where dreams 

take flight. In reading, children begin 

to learn about and interact with a world 

outside their own and gain an inherent 

awareness of others. 

To create excitement around reading is to 

create of lifelong passion for knowledge. It 

is for this reason that the Library Club was 

created, and remains, a trademark of the St. 

Francis Episcopal Day School program. 

Gifts made to Library Club enable the St. 

Francis Crum Library to purchase age- 

appropriate books and technology to enrich 

the library’s existing collection. Materials 

purchased with Library Club contributions 

have a special nameplate affixed on the inside 

cover indicating the name of the honoree. 

When a student is honored, he or she 

is invited to have the book read aloud to 

his/her class, or to be the first to check the 

book out of the library. These special books 

then become a permanent part of the Crum 

Library collection. 

There are few people unable to name a book 

that has had a lasting impression on their life 

and success. The opportunity to share this 

gift makes Library Club donations an especially 

popular gift for children’s birthdays, 

special occasions or as acknowledgement of 

teachers and staff. 

To learn more about the Library Club, or make a 

donation, please contact Stacy Allen at 713.458.6129 

or sallen@sfedshouston.org.

Graduation speech by Calhan Hale 

Good evening and welcome to the graduation ceremony of the 

greatest class ever to walk the halls of St. Francis. As one of 

my best friends told me recently, “Don’t cry because it’s ended; 

laugh because it happened.” I’m Calhan Hale, and it has been 

my absolute privilege to be a part of the class of 2008. Tonight, 

let us not be sad about the separation of such an amazing class, 

but let us celebrate our many accomplishments. While we have 

had many individual achievements in the world of PSIA, region 

choir, athletics, visual arts, and academics, our class is 

defined by its unity. 

Our class is a very accomplished one. We have put on two 

amazing plays: Jailhouse Rock in fourth grade and The Best 

Christmas Pageant Ever in eighth grade. We also put on one 

phenomenal musical called Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor 

Dreamcoat, which, I must say, -- to beat Mrs. Chisholm to 

the chase -- was the best musical St. Francis has ever had. We 

survived Hurricane Rita and were people for others by serving 

as a refuge for those escaping the hardships of Hurricane 

Katrina. We helped raise over $25,000 to aid the victims of 

the 2005 tsunami. We painted a 6-foot-tall fiberglass mustang 

and won third place in the Rodeo Contest. We were a part of 

the Varsity Choir that won state five years in a row. There are 

many more things our grade has done, but we all know what 

an outstanding group of people this has been, and will be in 

the future. 

Out of our many accomplishments, Joseph and the Amazing 

Technicolor Dreamcoat was definitely a standout. The opening 

night was truly one to remember. When we broke from circle 

backstage, Mr. Linhart instructed us to be silent and to take 

our places. Being backstage on opening night was a very different 

feeling from anything I’ve ever experienced before. The cast 

and crew were all one big family. Many of us were hugging and 

saying how much we loved each other. It was an overwhelming 

feeling because we were so excited. Yet, we all knew there was 

only so much time to say all these things before the moment we 

had all been waiting for arrived. That night, I tried to describe 

to my parents how we felt backstage before the curtains opened. 

The feeling, I said, was similar to how I think I’ll feel just before 

I die and go to heaven. That’s just how I think it will be: 

overwhelmed by the desire to say how much we love one another 

before it’s too late, and yet, so excited for what is to come. 

I didn’t really think how graduation might relate to these feelings. 

Graduation is what we’ve all been working toward during 

our years at St. Francis. Now that it’s here, we realize how 

hard we’ve worked, how much we have loved, and how much 

we have been loved. As the curtain opens on the next chapter 

for all of us, I think that we, the class of 2008, will take this 

love and these experiences with us into the next opening night 

of our lives: high school. 

A thread of memories has woven each of our childhoods together, 

and this same strand of recollections is what will tie 

our futures together as well. As we go our separate ways, we 

will still be connected by these memories that have wound us so 

closely together in our years at St. Francis. 

Class of 2008, it is opening night once again. I hope we can go 

out and embrace our futures with great enthusiasm, but never 

forget where we came from. Thank you, St. Francis and class 

of 2008.

Prayer attributed to St. Francis of Assisi 

Lord, make us instruments of your peace. 

Where there is hatred, let us sow love; 

Where there is injury, pardon; 

Where there is discord, union; 

Where there is doubt, faith; 

Where there is despair, hope; 

Where there is darkness, light; 

Where there is sadness, joy. 

Grant that we may not so much 

seek to be consoled as to console; 

To be understood as to understand; 

To be loved as to love. 

For it is in giving that we receive; 

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; 

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
