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 Bridget Hennessey actual cost of educating our students the St. Francis way. Thanks to your Head of Institutional active partnership, our students receive a well-rounded and exciting Advancement 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!

Wo o lrich F und Blue Spruce 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. Aetna Foundation, Inc. Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Crystal 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.

Woolrich Fund for Faculty, or make a donation, please contact Stacy Allen at 713.458.6129 or sallen@sfedshouston.org. 2008 Award Winners C athy Bussa Fine Arts Department Chair Musee du Louvre, Paris Jennifer Henr y Religious Education Teacher Holy Land, Israel Ji ll Hughes Third Grade Teacher Heinemann Institute 26 C a r l o Mi n o t t i Gifts of $500 – $999 in honor of Dianne Barker Mary and David Entrekin, ‘76 Laurie and Alfredo Gutierrez Jane and Michael Jamieson in honor of Debbie Harris from Megan Jamieson Rise’ and Malcolm Johns Therese and John Lohman and Broderick & Company in honor of Anne Chisholm Dr. and Mrs. Don Looser in honor of Greg and Beth Looser and Brock and Avery Looser Brandi and Keith Maxwell Mr. and Mrs. John O’Neal, Jr. Mr. and Mrs. Hezekiah A.

Clark 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! _ J ennifer Henr y * While we only had room for one note this year, all award recipients extend their heartfelt thanks. 27 Library Club “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.” — Dr. Seuss 2007-2008 Donors Anonymous (3) 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.

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. 31 Al u m n i Up d ates 1970s 1 2 Jim Goettee ’70 graduated from The Kinkaid School.

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.
