R����������������������������� ECF, I continue
to be impressed by our community’s passion
and commitment to the school’s mission,
which is markedly different from other places I’ve
taught and worked. This passion and commitment
will serve as a solid foundation as we look ahead to
the coming challenges and opportunities.
The 2008–2009 academic year brought many
unexpected events from an economic recession to
the arrival of the H1N1 (swine flu) virus in New
York City. I am happy to report that we successfully
navigated through these challenges and kept ECF
healthy and on solid financial ground. The entire
administrative team worked diligently on different
cost-cutting initiatives that would not touch our extraordinary
program. We spent time analyzing our
budget and found savings with catering, consultants,
postage, and other areas. We also made difficult
decisions to cut some capital expenses and to
re-prioritize maintenance projects. In the end, I am
proud that we were able to produce a balanced budget
while preserving our robust professional development
for faculty and our remarkable educational
and extracurricular programs. Judging from the successful
admissions season and our strong incoming
classes, it is clear that parents very much value the
academically excellent progressive education we offer
at ECF.
One of my top priorities is to make the ECF
learning environment accessible to all qualified students,
regardless of their family’s financial resources.
Through these difficult times, we remain committed
to assisting families in need as well as those
newly in need. Our admissions and financial aid
team worked tirelessly to set up a fair and equitable
process to assess and approve awards for current
families. The team also continued our longstanding
tradition of ensuring that our newly admitted classes
are reflective of Adler’s vision – a continuum of
socio-economic levels. Our ability to support one
another in times of need is a true testament to the
values and priorities of the ECF community. This
is a significant accomplishment, and even more
encouraging is the news that participation in the
annual fund was up significantly among parents,
alumni, and faculty and staff. Thank you to all of
the donors represented on the pages of this annual
report for their generosity and hard work. Together
they helped us exceed our 2008-2009 fundraising
goals and conclude our transformative capital campaign,
Promises to Keep.
This past year, I devoted considerable time to
learning about the rich history and culture of the
school as well as our hopes for its future from those
who care most – faculty, staff, alumni, parents, and
students. One particular message has been constant:
Keep ECF special. Or in the words of this year’s
Founder’s Day speaker, New York State Senator
Daniel Squadron ’98, “Keep the Orange . . . hold
tight to the things that make Fieldston different.”
With this uniqueness in mind, we have instituted
many exciting initiatives to build on our mission
and core values. This year, we identified three areas
of focus that will keep ECF special and advance our
important mission: Define progressive academically
excellent education, enhance ethical learning, and
strengthen our commitment to diversity.
To better understand what it means to be a
progressive and academically excellent educational
institution in the 21st century, we began a process
with the entire faculty to re-examine the meaning
and practice of progressive education. We explored
what it means to be a leading progressive school,
and what it should look like at ECF. These discussions,
which will continue during the 2009–2010
school year, are allowing us to review our commitment
to our mission, build on our strengths, and
develop innovative ways to maintain our leadership
as an academically excellent progressive school.
The emphasis on student voice and participation
within our school was one of the reasons why I
chose to join ECF. Last year I met with the Form V
and Form VI student advisory groups to hear about
their ECF experience. Many expressed the “great
freedom and power to change the school” as one
of the unique aspects of the Fieldston experience.
As we look to build on this tradition, we have been
seeking ways to expand student participation. The
new public purpose task force, which will include

DIANE SILVERMAN
Fieldston’s musical, The Pajama Game, featured union politics, romance, and a cast brimming with talent!
four students, will examine our schoolwide service
programs and our institution’s commitment to civic
engagement and ethical responsibility to our community.
A separate student committee was created
to involve more students in this ongoing study of
community service. We also have two student representatives
on the environmental task force, which
was formed in 2007–2008 and will continue to investigate
ways we can reduce our carbon footprint
and increase student awareness.
Another highlight of the year was the creation
of our school’s new diversity statement. It was a
pleasure to partner with many members of our community
in this inclusive process. The statement will
serve as a foundation for our work in the next few
years. This spring, Hugo Mahabir and I met with
the principals, assistant principals, and diversity coordinators
to share the many ways we are already
integrating issues of diversity, equity, multiculturalism,
and social justice into our curriculum and our
existing programs. With this information posted on
our website, we will better articulate our school’s
commitment to prospective families and identify
areas we need to strengthen in the coming years.
I want to thank the entire community for
working together this past year to ensure that ECF
remains such a unique community. Participation is
so important, as it helps us build the community we
want our children to be a part of, and I am grateful
to all of our donors and volunteers who support and
recognize this critical need. Any account of the year
would be incomplete without a very special thanks
to the board of trustees, including board co-chairs,
Laura Jacobs Blankfein ’71 and Tracy Chutorian
Semler ’82, for their leadership and support.
As we embark on our strategic planning this
year, I am grateful for the support of our board,
parents, faculty, and alumni as we work together to
shape ECF’s future for our children and, to echo
Adler’s vision, to see the world as it might be.

T��� ����� ��� ������ have brought exciting
change and opportunity to our beloved ECF. It
was a year marked by newness. The first year in
the tenure of our new head of school, Mark Stanek,
paired with new board leadership, prompted a great
deal of introspection about who we are as an institution,
and how we can and should “live the mission”
set forth by Felix Adler over 130 years ago.
Highlights of our mission-driven work this
year include the following:
■ the creation of a public purpose task force, to
focus on the ways in which ECF can and does
engage in service, the resources we use to do so,
and the extent to which these experiences have
a significant and enduring impact on the world
around us;
■ the establishment of a schoolwide diversity
statement that will help guide our work in this
important arena and emphasize our commitment
to a thriving diverse community;
■ a careful examination of the issue of affordability
of an ECF education, and the ways in which
we must support our students both financially
and culturally throughout their years at ECF.
We also worked hard during this year’s particularly
challenging budget process to find extra financial
aid dollars for families who found themselves
struggling, for the first time, to pay tuition.
There are never enough words to express thanks
to those who have made our community thrive
all year. We offer our deepest thanks to outgoing
P&T chair Judy Mills-Johnson, for her tireless efforts
to strengthen our community. Her innovative
programs – Spring Awakening, ECF at the Movies,
and Inside the Classroom – brought hundreds of us
together to appreciate and share the great resources
this community has to offer. We warmly welcome
Mel Wymore, who replaces Judy in the P&T chair
role, and we look forward to working with her this
year. We particularly wish to thank, from the bottom
of our hearts, the dozens of volunteers who
made April in Paris an enormous success, both as a
fund-raising and a community-building event.
After years of hard work and generosity on the
part of the entire ECF community, we salute the
conclusion of the Promises to Keep capital campaign,
which provided vibrant new and renovated facilities
where our programs are thriving as never before. We
extend special thanks to the campaign’s dedicated
volunteers and its co-chairs, Robert Pruzan ’81 and
Laura Jacobs Blankfein ’71.
We also cheer our 2008–2009 annual fund
co-chairs, Nina P. Freedman ’73 and Michael Nott;
our new development head, Whitney Namm Pollack;
and our army of volunteers and donors, for
the remarkable achievement of reaching our annual
fund goal in a difficult economic climate. The unprecedented
increase in giving from many constituencies
– including parents, alumni, faculty, and staff
– is a tribute to their hard work and allows ECF to
continue to offer the best education possible to our
children.
We congratulate Mark Stanek on the work he
has done to bring us together as a community and
to sharpen the institution’s focus on mission-driven
work. We very much look forward to working with
him in the coming years.

I� S�������������, severe stresses to the financial
market accelerated an economic downturn affecting
families and institutions alike. Here at ECF,
it created adversity for some of our families and
uncertainty for those of us who raise the funds to
strengthen and expand its curriculum and program.
We did not shy away from this challenge. In the
face of this turbulence, I am proud to report that
our community of parents, alumni, faculty, staff,
and students joined together to support the school
this past year in many new and impressive ways.
We raised a total of $9,600,000 from cash gifts
and collections on previously pledged donations.
On June 30, 2009 we successfully concluded
the Promises to Keep campaign, with 371 donors
and $53,500,000 total raised. The success of this
campaign is the direct result of this community’s
hard work and commitment to the priorities of the
school. The campaign, launched in May 2005, was
an outgrowth of years of strategic planning and effectively
transformed the school, enabling us to
meet new educational goals, including the launch
of the new middle school (grades 6-8) and new and
renovated spaces for academics, performing arts,
and athletics.
This year, a number of donors have come
forward to pledge nearly $1,400,000 to support
financial aid. Thanks to these gifts and the continued
strength of our annual fund, we were able to
assist families who have been experiencing financial
hardship this year. According to our chief financial
officer, Michael Hwang, we are beginning the new
fiscal year in a good position to address the school’s
emergency and current-use financial needs.
The school has seen a strong increase in participation
in our annual fund from all constituencies
and a four percent increase in total dollars raised.
We surpassed our goal in large part because of the
many parent, alumni, and student volunteers who
effectively carried the important message about unrestricted
giving throughout the community. Special
thanks are due to Nina P. Freedman ’73 and Michael
Nott, co-chairs of the annual fund, along with the
P&T all school fundraising committee, chaired by

Lisa Kadin and Lara Holtz, P&T chair Judy Mills-
Johnson, and benefit co-chairs Mallory Huberman
and Lisa Seidman. Seven hundred members of the
community celebrated the school at April in Paris,
the P&T annual fund benefit, which raised over
$530,000. We were pleased that 70 parents volunteered
their time to make this a great event.
For the first time, our faculty joined together
and formed a faculty fundraising committee. This
resulted in 110 new faculty and staff donors to the
school. Our board of trustee co-chairs, Laura Jacobs
Blankfein ’71 and Tracy Chutorian Semler ’82, join
me in saluting the faculty and staff who already give
so much of themselves for once again demonstrating
their commitment to the school.
This year we were also delighted to welcome a
new director for institutional advancement, Whitney
Namm Pollack, who joined ECF in January
2009 from the Robin Hood Foundation. Appointing
her to lead our community’s development effort
will help effectively and efficiently advance ECF’s
mission. As a parent, alumnus, and trustee, I extend
my heartfelt thanks to those who help ensure our
community’s ongoing success.

I�’������������ to be a member of the ECF community
and to lead the office for institutional
advancement and alumni (OIAA). From my experience
since January, I know that this is a vibrant,
caring community, deeply motivated by our school’s
mission.
Together with the trustees, parents, alumni,
faculty and staff, and head of school, we have raised
$3,467,000, including the April in Paris benefit, for
the annual fund. We have increased our participation
rates in every category this year. I want to share
some of those percentages with you, because they
demonstrate the community’s depth and breadth of
commitment to ECF:
■ 31 percent increase in parent participation:
Now 68 percent of our parents give to the annual
fund; last year 52 percent of parents participated.
■ 14 percent increase in alumni participation:
Now 16 percent of our alumni give to the annual
fund; last year 14 percent of our alumni
participated.
■ 850 percent growth in faculty and staff participation!
This may look like a typographical
error, but it is very real. We have welcomed 110
faculty and staff as donors to the annual fund, a
huge increase from the previous year.
■ 50 percent growth in grandparent participation:
We now have 132 grandparents giving,
or 9 percent of the grandparent population, up
from 6 percent last year.
■ 81 percent of all new parents participated in
the annual fund – up from 72 percent last year,
for a 13 percent increase.
We are also proud to recognize 392 Loyal Oaks,
members of the ECF community who have given to
the annual fund for 10 or more consecutive years.
This represents an eight percent increase over the
previous year.
One of our top priorities is to increase participation
and widen community support for ECF, to
encourage the spirit of giving back to help advance
the school’s mission. To that end, we will be partnering
again with the P&T to involve even more
members of the parent community as annual fund
volunteers. We will also be working closely with the
Alumni Volunteer Network and other alumni leaders
so that we can engage more alumni in the ECF
community. Recognizing the critical role alumni
can play in the life of our school, we created a new
position, director of alumni giving, to help lead
these efforts. Sarah Danzig Simon ’96 joined OIAA
in that role in May, and she will partner with Toby
Himmel, director of alumni relations, to strengthen
our alumni program and continue to increase alumni
participation rates. On June 30, 2009 we concluded
our capital campaign, Promises to Keep, with
371 donors participating, a record for our school.
The campaign co-chairs, Robert Pruzan ’81 and
Laura Jacobs Blankfein ’71, and senior volunteers
Nina P. Freedman ’73, Tracy Chutorian Semler ’82,
John Beres ’81, Nicol Malas ’91, and Jon May ’84
have worked tirelessly for the last five years on this
transformative campaign.
This has also been a lively year for Fieldston
alumni events and programs, including regional
receptions in Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco
which introduced our new head of school
to alumni. Our largest event, the June Fieldston
reunion, attracted 329 alumni and guests from 10
different classes. Over the year, our department
produced over 40 events, including new parent dinners,
phone-a-thons, homecoming activities, all to
share the ECF message.
This has been a challenging year of transition
and economic uncertainty, and none of this work
would have been accomplished without some very
important partners. I would like to extend my deepest
thanks to our board of trustees’ institutional advancement
committee, P&T chair Judy Mills-Johnson,
the P&T all school fundraising committee, all
the April in Paris volunteers, and the OIAA team.

T���������� �� ������������ ����, there
was one constant: an unwavering support for
the mission of the Ethical Culture Fieldston
School. Our families, alumni, and friends came together
and demonstrated their commitment to the
school. Faculty and staff also stepped up in reducing
expenditures by being more creative and frugal
in their day-to-day operations. We turned to many
“open” or “free” technology resources, participated
in more local workshops and conferences, and utilized
old inventory for supplies. All these efforts
helped to offset some of the impact from volatile
changes in our endowment and interest income.
We continued to improve campus facilities
with a significantly lower budget by relying on the
expertise of our facilities staff, rather than outside
contractors, for non-construction related projects.
At Ethical Culture, we upgraded the staircase on
63rd Street, helping to alleviate congestion in the
main lobby during dismissal, and installed new
energy-efficient and acoustically-sound windows in
the classrooms with obvious benefits. At Fieldston
Lower, we completely renovated the main kitchen,
including a new stove and dishwasher. At Fieldston
Middle, we put up full-length walls in faculty
offices in the academic centers, allowing for more
privacy, while also establishing more of a classroom
atmosphere in the academic centers themselves. At
both the Ethical Culture and Fieldston campuses,
we applied fresh paint and repaired frequently traveled
hallway areas as well as ceilings, classrooms,
and bathrooms.
We expanded our summer recreational programs
to take advantage of under-utilized facility
space, adding two new ones, Weeks of Discovery
and Sports Camp. These two programs proved to
be very successful, with many current students participating.

the best and unique summer camps in the city. Our
related programs, Fieldston Enrichment Program
(FEP) and Young Dancemakers, also enjoyed successful
summers at Fieldston.
None of these achievements could have taken
place without the support of the group of dedicated
and talented individuals in finance and administration,
managed by Gene Kivlan, Joe Piselli, Donna
Price, Orlando Rivera, Roura Rosales-Rosario, and
Trish Shelton. Members of our volunteer board
committees have provided expertise, support, and
countless hours to our efforts, and I would like to
acknowledge the audit committee, chaired by Nino
Magliocco; the buildings and grounds committee,
chaired by Brad Wechsler ’69; the finance committee,
chaired by Jon May ’84; and the investment
committee, chaired by John Feingold ’74.
