TREASURER’S LETTER

Building a Schoolof Which We Can Be Very Proud

The 2016-2017 school year was another suc-cessful year by all measures for our school community. Under the superb leadership of Me-linda and her team, the

Board of Directors, and many others, we were able to undertake a thorough strategic planning process, the results of which we are excited to share with our school community. This process has enabled us to further refine the applica-tion of our values and of our strategic goals.

Continued strong enrollment, out-standing community fundraising events, and our most successful annual fund ever have enabled us to not only build on the school’s financial strength, but also to continue delivering an ex-cellent curriculum to our children. Our specialized focus of international curriculum is so important in preparing our children for today's world. Your generosity enables

us to continue delivering the best edu-cation possible.

We have seen another year of im-pressive college admissions, which further shows the quality of the educa-tion received at French American and International. Our students are sought after by the world's top universities and colleges in an ever competitive college admissions landscape. Our faculty is, of course, primarily responsible for the success of our students and they are directly reflected in our college admis-sions results. We cannot thank them enough for the fantastic job they do and their dedication to our children.

Your continued engagement and gen-erosity are astounding and have directly

affected the positive direction in which we are going. Through our community’s culture of giving, we are building a school of which we can be very proud. I hope you share my enthusiasm and I look forward to an even more exciting and successful school year in 2017-2018.

STEPHANE DE BORDTreasurer, Board of Trustees

"Your continued engagement and generosity are astounding and have directly affected the positive direction in which we are going."

A Transformative Gift in Support of Socioeconomic Diversity

New Trustee Rob Mee and and his wife Dana Le, parents of Declan, 1st grade, and Oliver, PK3, had an epiphany while Rob was changing his younger son, not long after Declan started PK. Little Oliver started singing on the changing table—in

French. Neither Rob nor Dana are Francophones, so they could only conclude that Oliver had been taught by his older brother. What an extraordinary benefit: a second language spreading from child to child, sparked by their eldest’s French American education. True believers in international education, Rob and Dana’s first instinct was to ask “how do we make this life-changing opportunity available to as many children as possible?” And so was born the Robert Mee and Dana Le Fund.

"We realized what an extraordinary gift this school is, not just to a child, but to his entire extended family and community. In our view, sharing the depth of this educa-tion, and its international perspective, enriches all of us,” shared Rob and Dana.

Rob and Dana’s generous gift to the French American Endowment fully funds a PK-12 French American educa-tion in perpetuity. The first Mee Le Scholar begins PK this fall, and will attend our school entirely free of tuition through graduation from International High School.

“Rob and Dana’s extraordinary act of generosity extends a bilingual education to more children, and is an inspiration to all of us at our school. Their support of socioeconomic diversity is such a tribute to their family's values and the mission and values of French American and International,” expressed Melinda Bihn, Head of School.

The power of the Robert Mee and Dana Le Fund is that it is exponentially supportive, generating income each year, ensuring that our school always has a Mee Le Scholar in our midst. Board of Trustees Chair Josh Nossiter added, “In this and in every year hence, a local family will be on the way to a brighter future thanks to Rob and Dana’s munificent, transformative, and practical philanthropy.”

We are excited to share that our 2016-2017 Annual Fund was the most successful campaign we’ve ever had, raising over $1.2 million for our school community.The Annual Fund is French American and International’s single largest fundraising initiative, supported by donors from every constituency. We are extraordinarily grateful to our current families for their generosity and commitment to the Annual Fund and to the many alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, faculty, and staff who believe in the impact their contributions have on our school. The Annual Fund supports many aspects of the school but, at its heart, it allows us to continually invest in our programs, teachers and, most importantly, our students.

THANK YOU!
