Annual Report2010 - 2011

Funding the Promise

AnnualReport101191611BL.indd 1 9/19/11 11:12 AM

CFS MissionCFS, The School at Church Farm is an independent boarding and day school for boys in grades 7 through 12. Our mission is to provide a rigorous, well-rounded, college-preparatory education in a caring, Christian environment to help prepare our students for productive and fulfilling lives. We seek young men of ability and promise for whom the CFS educational experience represents an extraordinary opportunity.

Dear Friends,

The purpose of Church Farm School contin-ues to unfold in the daily life and work offered on this special campus. The means by which that is being supported and to what ends find important reflection in this annual report. To-gether, all of us at CFS say “Thank You” to the many persons listed in these pages and oth-ers who help sustain the mission and make this opportunity for today’s students possi-ble. The fact is we would not be here without you. Your kindness, prayers and charity not only sustain us, but also provide a wealth of confidence as we press on to help these able and talented boys fulfill their dreams.

We have chosen “Funding the Promise” as our theme for this year’s report for two par-

ticular reasons. First, it acknowledges the founding vision, financial model and the unique means by which we seek to be successful. Second, it is an imperative, a calling to the many who understand either the Gospel man-date to care for those less fortunate than ourselves or those who simply understand that they have a role to play in supporting a deserving young boy who simply does not have the financial means to be a part of a school community like ours. And as much as this report reflects on the year now completed, we also reach for your help once again in the coming year to make sure the mission is funded and continues.

A Strategic Plan 2011 is now in place and guiding our way forward. A Cam-pus Master Planning project is underway looking to help us fulfill some of the strategic goals on our campus and within our physical spaces. Your will-ingness to continue this journey with us and even increase the level of char-ity already provided will give us better footing in today’s economic climate. Additionally, any effort you might make to help CFS expand the number of friends who would join our cause is essential to our future. We will be reaching out to you in the coming months for such assistance and intro-ductions. As you have, I think newcomers will find their association with Church Farm School most rewarding.

Again, thank you for everything you do on behalf of our boys!

With kind regards,

The Reverend Edmund K. Sherrill llHead of School

From theHead of School


Dear Friends of CFS,

I am deeply honored to ad-dress you for the first time as Chairman of the Board of the Church Farm School. Our School turned 93 in 2011, and this put me in mind of a com-ment made to me by a fam-ily member (who is also 93) when I told her of my assum-ing the chairmanship. “You’d better do a good job—there are a lot of people counting on you!”

Well, she needn’t worry—and not because of me. We have confidence that CFS will continue to serve its mission—to educate all the young men who count on us—because we have you!

Church Farm School’s unique mission is to provide an education to young men of ability and promise who otherwise would not have such a wonderful opportunity. To achieve our mission, we rely on many dif-ferent resources: a dedicated and hard-working faculty and staff, an endowment nurtured over many decades by careful stewards, and the sacrifices of our students’ families. Yet all these resources—as impor-tant as they are—would not allow us to carry on if we lacked the key element that you provide: your generous donations, year after year, of your time, talent, and treasure to the School.

This year CFS has embarked on exciting new endeavors so that we can continue to educate our students for the world they will face when they leave what Head of School Ned Sherrill calls “our little corner of Creation.” We have a Strategic Plan that calls for an expanded edu-cational curriculum to meet new challenges, greater involvement by faculty in the after-school nurturing of our boarders, and the repur-posing of existing space to make it more educationally useful. We are also determining how and where we might begin new construction to achieve our goals. I look forward to telling you more about these won-derful initiatives in the months ahead.

As ever, your support remains vital for us to move forward. On be-half of everyone at Church Farm School, I thank you for your generous past—and ongoing—support.

Sincerely yours,

Mark T. CarrollChairman

From the Chairmanof the Board


Remembering Tyler Griffin“He gave selflessly to everything good about CFS.”

Longtime Trustee (1948-2002) and former Chairman of the CFS Board of Directors (1985-2002), J. Tyler Griffin died on August 10, 2011. According to Head of School, Rev. Ned Sher-rill, “Tyler was a life-long friend of the School, giving selflessly of his time, talent and treasure to everything good about CFS.”

According to former Trustee, Morris Kellett, “Not long after he graduated from Princeton in 1944, Ty was asked to join the board of directors by Colonel Shreiner, undoubtedly at the urging of Char-lie Shreiner, Ty’s Episcopal Academy classmate and close friend. Ty’s energy, good judgment and devotion to CFS were evident through-out the many years that he served as a board member and made him the odds-on favorite to assume the role of Chairman in 1981. From then on Ty’s leadership ability became increasingly apparent as he led the board and individual members to assume an increased role of responsibility in the governance of the School. He served as Chairman of the Board with distinction until he retired from the board in 2002.

“Ty was fond of recalling a conversation with Colonel Shreiner that focused on the School’s accumulation of farmland that eventually totaled over 1800 acres. In their talk Colonel urged Ty to look to the School’s future and the need to plan to achieve his vision. The sweep of land then used to grow crops would, said Colonel, become the financial base to support the School’s growth. Much later, in the 1970s, Ty led the planning and successful accomplishment of the series of land sales that enabled the School to offer an outstanding education and growth experience to boys whose families could not afford such an opportunity.”

In a letter to the CFS community, Head of School Ned Sherrill com-mented, “I like to think that Tyler Griffin and others around him be-came instruments of what Colonel described as God’s will and saw

themselves as such. With care and commitment, he helped build and advance the wonderful School we know today. He left us an incredible legacy and one to which we rightly look forward to adding our part. May God bless Tyler Griffin, his family and Church Farm School.”

Trustee Morris Kellett, Ned Sherrill and Tyler Griffin celebrate Ned’s installation as Head of School in 2009. Mr. Kellett is now a member of the Advisory Board.

4 Annual Report To Donors 2010 - 2011

The Year in Review

A generous grant from former Trustee Peter Hamil-ton brought the Institute for Global Ethics’ Ethical

Leadership Program to CFS. History teacher Doug Ma-gee chairs the CFS Ethical Leadership Team composed of staff and students and charged with identifying and articulating values common to CFS’s very diverse com-munity.

“When visitors enter CFS, they are blown away by the students’ and teachers’ amazing energy and by all that takes place in the School,” explains Mr. Magee, adding that, “Students should also feel pride and take owner-ship of this community and concurrently of the life and energy of the School.” He explains, “They should iden-tify the reasons for this pride, and pass it down to the students who come after them; one way to accomplish this is agreement on common values and traditions.”

The three year Ethical Leadership Program is now in its second year. Beginning in September 2010, the Ethi-cal Leadership Team, composed of 12 students and staff members, met weekly to define values and create a body of morality common to the entire community re-gardless of differing backgrounds and experiences. The Team focused on:

• Building School Culture: Team members strove to identify and develop school values, establish tradi-tions, and enhance students’ sense of belonging and school pride.

• Ethical Dilemmas: Participants worked to establish a “right vs. right” framework for ethical decision making, create honest and open dialogue, embrace

After a year in preparation, Troop 1918 is off and run-ning. With a headquarters on Church Farm Lane and

the involvement of CFS alumni, staff and parents, the Boy Scout troop, long envisioned by Scout Master Don Burt ’77, will activate this fall with more than 20 students.

Involved in scouting for many years with his own sons, Don had seen the positive effects of Boy Scout programs on many young men and has worked to recruit others to help bring scouting to CFS. Cottage faculty member Ed Heierbacher will chair the Troop Committee. He will be joined by Assistant Scout Master, Steve Choc ’02, Assistant Scout Master Mason Burt, and Committee Members Na-dine Sidoriak P’13, Marie Gehringer P’13, and Director of Students, John Kistler.

The Year in ReviewRemembering Jim Buck

“We are blessed to have known Jim and to be known by him.”

When J. Mahlon “Jim” Buck, Jr. died last spring, CFS lost a longtime friend and wise advisor, a man who helped steer the School for almost 40 years. According to Jim Buck III, “The School at Church Farm was uniquely my father’s involvement. He and Charlie Shreiner, who fol-lowed his father as Headmaster of CFS, were lifelong friends, spend-ing summers together in Cape Mayand attending college together.”

Charlie’s wife, Shirley Shreiner, confirms that the CFS-Buck family closeness extends all the way back to a strong friendship between Colonel Shreiner, CFS’s founder and the first J. Mahlon Buck. For years and generations, the two families were close, and this alli-ance translated into Jim Buck’s abiding interest in CFS. A member of the Board between 1959 and 1997, Jim chaired the Finance Committee for many years, helping to determine the direction of the School and overseeing the building of an endowment that would benefit students far into the future.

Jim’s wise counsel was no doubt built upon a lifetime rich in expe-rience and success. A Haverford School alumnus, he graduated from Princeton after taking time out to serve in the army during the World War II. In his later career, he helped to lead several successful drug distribution companies, and, most recently, he founded a venture capital holding company, TDH Capital, with his brothers. He was also an involved part-owner of the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team with his brothers.

The desire to ensure the longevity of CFS motivated Mr. Buck to create an endowment, the J. Mahlon, Jr. and Elia Buck Endowed Fund. “We will work with Rev. Sherrill and others to apply this endowment in areas that would have meant a great deal to my father—all in accordance with the School’s objectives,” said Jim Buck lll.

According to Head of School, Ned Sherrill, “Jim Buck and others like him served CFS when the School was vulnerable and build-ing for the future. Their hard work, sound advice and steadfast belief in the mission of Church Farm School rendered it a strong and resilient institution. We are blessed to have known Jim and be known by him, and we extend our grateful prayers and good wishes to Elia, his brother Bill, and to his children and grandchil-dren.”

“It sure seems that the Phillies have the blessings of a good new ‘angel in the outfield’ this year,” concludes Rev. Sherrill.

differences and create space and acceptance for am-biguity.

The Leadership Team’s deliberations and conclusions were disseminated in cottage meetings, classrooms, and chapel services. This year and next, the work will continue with the goal of institutionalizing the culture that is created and eliminating all need for the formal program.

Mr. Magee is personally passionate about this Program and says, “It is especially fulfilling to see students come alive in positions of leadership.” Paula Mirk, Director of Education for the Institute for Global Ethics, adds, “What I like best about our Ethical Literacy process at CFS is the way students have had authentic roles in the initiative. The students on the CFS Ethical Literacy team have led classmates in compelling discussions about ethical decision making, and helped everyone get clear about their ethical operating principles.”

Ms. Mirk concludes, “I expect this to continue and look forward to the students’ great ideas to build and sustain CFS’s culture of integrity.”

This fall, CFS gradually begins its move towards a one faculty system with the installation of two young married couples in

two cottages. Shana and Marvin Garcia will move into an apart-ment in Catherwood, and Matt and Tara Hohn will live in Pew. Shana, Marvin, and Matt all have teaching and administrative jobs at CFS, and Tara works off campus. Other faculty members will have cot-tage duty on prescribed evenings. This arrangement, as it evolves, will provide a more home-like situation for students and give faculty mem-bers an opportunity to truly be part of the residential community.

Chuck Watterson, who has been named Director of Residential Life, and I are building on our experiences in planning vibrant activities and en-

richment programs for students, especially during the weekends. Last year weekend activities included a stepped up Community Service Program, as well as more opportunities to engage in sports, dances, and movies. There were four “School Weekends,”

during which all residents stayed on campus and engaged in common recreational and enrichment activi-ties. Day students were warmly en-couraged to participate in many of these special events.

As academic and residential life grow closer together this year, and as we add additional activities to our weekend schedule, we look for-ward to providing a genuinely more enriching and nurturing environ-ment for all of our students.

In recent years, we have en-

deavored to implement new approaches to ed-ucating students for the future and, simultane-ously, to maintain those classic foun-dational, educa-tional practices that have, and will

continue to be the basis for a sound academic, social, and per-sonal wholistic education.

With all of this in mind, CFS has, since 2009, continued strate-gic planning involving our entire community of students, parents, faculty, administration, staff and the Board of Directors. This planning resulted in the institution of our 21st Century Learning Community initiative. This initiative’s goal is simply to transform our CFS community into an effective, productive, and globally ap-propriate learning community for everyone involved.

This includes a revised and reinvigorated academic program that offers a more complete and practical learning experience for all involved. Specific areas of concentration include a new, more flexible school schedule; a more STEM (Science, Technology, En-gineering and Math) focused science and math program; a more globally complimentary humanities program; expanded music and art programs; a more personalized and student focused ad-visor program; an improved faculty professional development

program; and the continued integration of technology across our curriculum.

These efforts culminated with the following success in the 2010 school year:

• 21st Century Learning Community initiative yielding visible improvements in the overall academic program. Across the board, students worked as active collaborators in the learning process, showing improved critical thinking/prob-lem solving abilities.

• Improved Standardized Test Scores (Educational Records Bureau Test).

• Increased rate of usage of educational technology in the classroom.

• Greatly increased teacher/departmental collaboration.

• Greatly increased student collaboration on classroom assignments and projects.

• Improved Advanced Placement (AP) scores in all subjects.

• Increased community service hours.

• Reduction in students appearing on academic probation.

• Increased number of students on the honor roll, even withraised GPA requirements.

• Increased faculty professional development options and participation.

• Increased school average GPA, which signifies a higher level of student achievement and readiness.

By the numbers, the 2010-2011admissions year was simply

the School’s best ever. Thanks toaugmented marketing efforts, an increased travel schedule to feed-er schools and recruitment fairs,and a gorgeous new view piecethat highlights the School’s inti-macy, diversity, and strong ethicof care, interest from potential families grew to record levels. Ap-plications surged 10% more than the previous cycle (itself a banneryear), creating, at 247 initiated applications, the School’s largest pool ever. Thanks to this strong admissions effort, and to return-ing student attrition rates that have fallen three straight years, CFS will open in September 2011 with a record 190 students, 175 ofwhom will board (up from 139 boarders just four years ago).

From this record applicant pool, 62 carefully selected students were ultimately enrolled. Another 24 qualified applicants were placed on a waiting list but, for lack of space, could not be accom-modated. It is fair to say that for each new student enrolled, there were two others who had hoped to fill that spot.

Our incoming students come from ten states (including newly rep-resented Oregon, Washington, and Connecticut) and four coun-

tries. They bring to the diverse CFScommunities dozens of unique cul-tural heritages, including the School’sfirst Pakistani and Sikh students. Their interests and talents are equally myr-iad: the incoming classes include anationally ranked sprinter, a jazz afi-cionado, song-writer, and beat poet,a passionate chorister, and an aspiringgeneticist.

While their talents and backgroundsset them apart, it is what they sharethat brings them together. Each ofthese young men is just brimming

with potential, but has not yet, for reasons of circumstance, had the opportunity to fully access this promise. The mission of CFSdirects us to serve just such students. Thanks to the blessings ofthe School’s endowment and its wonderful family of donors, weare able to continue to fulfill this mission in 2011; our 62 new students are the recipients of financial subsidies that, on average, cover 87% of the $60,000 cost of housing, feeding, teaching, and nurturing a student at CFS.

Together, we look forward to discovering what fantastic dreams may come for these boys at CFS, which for more than 90 yearshas been the crossroads of tremendous promise and uncommonopportunity.

CFS’s athletic program achieved some of its greatest successes in recent history. Coach Marc Turner’s varsity basketball team

brought home the program’s first District Championship and ad-vanced to the quarterfinals of the state tournament before losing to the eventual state champions. CFS finished with a 24-2 record, and sophomore guard Howard Sellars was named to the All-StateThird Team.

The wrestling program also distinguished itself, with six wrestlers placing at districts and advancing to regionals. District champ Baf-four Atakora-Bediako, a junior, became our first wrestler to reach the State Championships. Coach Art Smith led the Griffins to a 2nd place team finish in District One.

Track and field coach Eric Horsey left CFS after 16 years to become head coach at Downingtown East High School. His tenure includ-ed over 100 team wins, the 2009 District Championship, and aPenn Relays gold medal. New head coach Tony Wrice has made astrong beginning.

Other teams, including soccer, cross country, golf, tennis andbaseball, all had their fair share of success. Participation levels

on interscholas-tic teams were high as well. It’s safe to say thatour young menare taking fulladvantage of theathletic opportu-nities available at CFS!

Finally, in thefall of 2010, weinitiated a very effective strength and conditioning program to give our student-athletes an opportunity for serious fitness training each day. Stu-dents not only use it to prepare for competition, but to train their body for peak performance and develop healthy habits for the fu-ture. Finally, in the fall of 2011, we are inaugurating a “Captains’ Program,” to give our captains the tools and knowledge they needfor effective leadership.

Greg Thompson, Director of AthleticsBasketball and wrestling teams excel. Coach Horsey departs after 16 years.

The Class of 2011

On Saturday, June 4, 2011 members of the CFS’ eighty-ninth graduating class were awarded their high school diplomas

and school Bibles from Head of School, The Rev. Edmund K. Sherrill II, and Chairman of the Board Mark T. Carroll. All 34 members of the Class of 2011 have found successful placement in postsecondary schools. Rich Lunardi, college counselor, de-scribes the counseling process and outcomes as follows:

“In the process of advising CFS seniors about postsecondary op-tions, we strive to help students make informed choices that will most appropriately match their unique interests and abili-ties. Those choices might include a small, liberal arts college or a large state university; a military academy or a specialized pro-gram in music or the fine arts; a cost effective two-year school or a study abroad opportunity. I am happy to report that the 34 members of the CFS Class of 2011 have all found successful placement for the 2011-2012 academic year, and are well on their way to what will hopefully be a very successful future. Let me highlight of a few of these talented young men.

“Alex Severt participated in a summer engineering program at MIT prior to his senior year at CFS. This led him to apply to the school, where he was eventually accepted. Bonzie Mumphery has talked about running his own restaurant for as long as we’ve known him, and will take that interest with him to Widener Uni-versity’s School of Hospitality Management.

“It’s been no secret that Josh Evans has a deep and abiding in-terest in the ordained ministry, and will explore that possibility at Eastern University this fall. Melvin Huber, who spent a year in Germany while a CFS student, will return there in September to study at Jacobs University in Bremen, while Alden Dirks will realize his dream of studying abroad through a Youth for Under-standing program in Uruguay. Closer to home, Marty Evans will attend Lincoln University, where he has signed an NCAA Letter of Intent to play baseball. Two seniors, Sebastian De La Cruz and Hee Je Eun, have chosen to pursue their varied interests at Cornell University in the fall, while three other classmates, Der-ek Bennett, Cordell Long, and Gabe Lowe, will be seeing each other on campus at Kutztown University.

“Looking ahead, the upcoming 2011-2012 school year boasts a senior class of 39, the largest in CFS history. These students will have all of the traditional counseling resources, plus the use of Naviance, a web based career and college search program. The Naviance database is populated with an enormous amount of information that students can access with the simple click of a mouse. We are very pleased to make this technology available to the Class of 2012, and those who will follow in their foot-steps.

“With ever more sophisticated technology to assist us, all of us at CFS will continue working together to ensure the best pos-sible outcomes for our students.”

Funding the Promise Funding the Promise


Dear Friends,

CFS’s strong traditi on is to be “all about the boys.” Many alumni and friends have supported the School for generati ons. As ti me passes, the need for scholar-ships conti nues to grow. Tuiti on at colleges and pre-paratory schools has increased at double digit rates, but ours remain low and aff ordable for “boys of abil-ity and promise.”

As ever, the CFS endowment is well stewarded by the Board of Directors, and the earnings from the endow-ment have enabled many boys to benefi t from Colo-nel Shreiner’s vision created almost 100 years ago. However, CFS needs conti nued support, in additi on to the endowment, for that vision to be a reality for many years to come.

Financial support has generally come from the sourc-es below. With grati tude, we ask for your conti nued help to sustain CFS’s mission of service:

• Alumni: Strong alumni giving parti cipati on rates are key to unlocking other fi nancial sup-port. Many alumni have realized how impor-tant it is to give back to CFS, so future gen-erati ons may benefi t from the educati on they received as students. One example is the 2011 Talmadge O’Neill Alumni Challenge, which will increase parti cipati on signifi cantly.

• Friends of CFS: Many individuals have given toCFS someti mes for several generati ons, because they believe so strongly in what the School can do for deserving young men. Two of these, Jim Buck and J. Tyler Griffi n, passed away recently. Both were cornerstones of the Board of Direc-tors and generous donors as well. Whether it is the ti e to the Episcopal faith or because these friends simply believed strongly in helping those boys who may not otherwise have the opportu-nity for a good educati on, friends of the School are criti cal to our success. Please consider intro-ducing new friends to CFS who would fi nd sati s-facti on from helping worthy young men.

• Parents: Parents and past parents show their appreciati on for the opportuniti es their sons

receive by contribut-ing to the Parent An-nual Fund. This sup-port demonstrates to all of our donors that our families truly val-ue the educati on CFS provides.

• Foundati ons: Many foundati ons support insti tuti ons like CFS. If you are familiar with a foundati on or know someone involved with a foundati on that may benefi t CFS, please con-tact John Wilwol in the Development Offi ce (610.363.5363 or [email protected]).

• Pennsylvania Educati onal Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC): Corporati ons receive up to a 90% tax credit against state taxes for con-tributi ons to an approved Scholarship Organi-zati on such as CFS through the EITC program. Please contact John Wilwol for more informa-ti on (610.363.5363 or [email protected]) about this very cost eff ecti ve program for giving.

It will take all of us working together to carry CFS’s mission generati ons into the future. Please consider how you may conti nue to help fund the promise upon which CFS was founded.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the Develop-ment Committ ee, thank you to all who have contrib-uted over the past year. Your generosity is key to the School’s wonderful foundati on and makes a diff er-ence in the lives of many special young men.

Sincerely,

The CFS endowment is vital to the School’s founding mis-sion and business model. It is designed and managed to

generate revenues to support operations and scholarships. During the 2010-2011 fiscal year, the Endowment Fund port-folio grew 26.3% net of additions/withdrawals/fees. The board and administration continue to be prudent stewards of the fund. Careful management of this diversified portfo-lio over the long term has delivered an average annualized rate of return of 9.8% during the last 16 years.

In 2010-2011, the endowment funded 75.4% of the School’s operating expenses. This represents a 5.7% draw against the fund’s 12-quarter rolling average (@12/31/09) as we strive to achieve and maintain an annual spending discipline of 5% over the long term. As the 12-quarter average contin-ues to decline over the next year or two, so will our ability

to draw the needed funds from the endowment to fund operations. The trustees and administration continue to carefully monitor expenses and consider new efficiencies and/or revenue opportunities to better support the mission of CFS.

Operations

The operating budget provides for almost 190 CFS students, an outstanding faculty and staff, the technology-based college preparatory curriculum, and a 150 acre

campus. Campus facilities include ten student cottages, a chapel, an infirmary, living quarters for staff members, indoor and outdoor athletic facilities and a main admin-istrative and academic building.

In fulfillment of its mission, CFS offers an excellent, affordable education, particularly to students whose means would otherwise preclude it. The average tuition paid is $5,600, and remains one of the lowest of any private boarding school in the country. Each and every CFS family receives a substantial cost subsidy to attend the School. Families are asked to pay only a tuition they can afford, to a maximum rate that is well below 50% of the real cost. The average gross income of a CFS family this past fiscal year was $65,000 for a family of four.

In 2010-2011, tuition fees provided 14.0% of CFS’ operating expenses. The balance of expenses was funded through endowment (75.4%) and fundraising (10.6%).

Funding the Promise

There is an intensity to the CFS experi-ence that many graduates will carry

with them throughout their lives. This experience can make them more willing to work hard, take risks and continually seek and master new challenges in order to succeed.

Talmadge, who celebrated his 25th re-union this year, along with his classmates on the CFS campus, describes the experi-ence of entering boarding school as ini-tially difficult. In the mid-eighties, many of the younger students worked on the pig farm. “Shoveling manure on your birthday is not something you forget, but

is one of those things that makes you more resilient. Knowing at an early age that you can succeed in difficult situations, positions you well to meet tougher challenges later in life,” he says.

A wrestler at CFS who was voted MVP in his senior year, Talmadge remembers that wrestling coach Art Smith’s exhortations to work harder than the competition led to defeating teams from larger schools. He also extols his oth-er teachers’ dedication, recall-ing that Mr. Greenblatt insisted that students be able to read every page of the daily newspa-per including the stock market tables. For Talmadge, this was an early introduction to person-al finance.

Following graduation, Talmadge attended Claremont McKenna College, where he studied Gov-ernment and Foreign Affairs. From college, he moved to the Czech Republic and later re-turned to the US to attend the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business. After gradu-ation, he worked for the Boston Consulting Group in London for several years before joining a small start-up called GoTo.com in Southern California that com-mercialized the concept of paid search results, and was later sold to Yahoo! After GoTo.com, Talmadge co-founded MeziMe-dia which was sold to Value-Click (NASDAQ: VCLK) in 2007.

Since then he has co-founded both Vivo Holdings, which is the fastest growing nationwide pool ser-vicing company, and Juvo Capital which invests primarily in internet and late stage greentech companies.

Talmadge has issued a landmark chal-lenge to increase CFS Alumni Giving to 30% this year. He explains, “The idea behind the challenge is that with just under 1000 living alumni,

we cannot provide 100% of the financial assistance that CFS needs to carry out its mission. But what we can do is show our support for the School by increasing the percentage of alumni that give annually to CFS. Increasing our alumni con-tribution rate will make it easier to secure the larger institutional donations that can put the School on a firm financial footing and ensure that it can continue to de-liver on its mission for years to come. The key message is that it does not matter how much you give, but that you give.”

Talmadge contributes to his college and graduate school, but believes that his contri-bution to CFS is more impor-tant. “The mission of taking disadvantaged, adolescent kids and giving them the tools to better their lives is an honorable one. The ear-lier you act in a child’s life, the greater difference you make. I hope other alumni will join me in helping and supporting the CFS mission,” he concludes.

The Talmadge O’Neill Alumni Challenge

New Gifts Matched 2:1Increased Gifts Matched 1:1

$10,000 Bonus for 30% Participation

1. New gift to the Alumni Annual Fund: The Talmadge O’Neill Alumni Challenge will match every new gift 2:1. For example, if a first-time or lapsed donor contributes $100, the Challenge will contribute an additional $200, making the total gift to CFS $300. This covers any do-nor who did not give in 2010-2011.

2. Increased gift to the Alumni Annual Fund: If current donors increase their support, The Talmadge O’Neill Alumni Challenge will match the increase 1:1. For ex-ample, if a donor increases his annual gift from $50 to $100, the $50 increase will be matched, making the to-tal gift $150.

3. New and Increased gifts will be matched up to a com-bined total of $50,000.

4. 30% Alumni Participation Bonus: If Alumni participa-tion reaches 30% this fiscal year, The Talmadge O’Neill Alumni Challenge will contribute an additional $10,000 to the Annual Fund.

From The Smallest SeedStuart Brackney ‘62

There is no other place like Church Farm School. I am who I am today because of the experiences I had as a CFS student.

Today, Stu Brackney is a joyful man having had a long and happy mar-riage and several fulfilling careers. The late fifties found him, a child some-what on his own, living on the CFS campus most of the year. However, he re-calls his student days with delight—he loved driving tractors and, an early riser to this day, milking the cows.

Alone in the Chapel of the Atonement doing chores, he would stand be-hind the pulpit and pretend to preach a sermon. His melodious voice served him well in later life, when he lobbied state and national congres-sional committees to provide services to the deaf, when he hosted a ca-ble TV show on Kaleidoscope, and when he became a sports announcer covering high school sports, major league baseball games, and semi-pro football games.

Unable to return to CFS for his senior year (he later received an honorary degree), he finished high school in Florida and graduated from Florida Southern College in 1966. Designated a Distinguished Military Graduate in his Army ROTC program, he served in Germany and Vietnam. After discharge, it was back to Europe for travel and work.

Later in Philadelphia, he began a distinguished career in rehabilitation and advocacy for the deaf. In 1974, he earned a Masters in Rehabilita-tion Counseling for the Deaf from the University of Arizona and began a portion of his life’s work, which culminated in being named Executive Di-rector of the Arizona Commission for the Deaf, an agency he had helped to create. Subsequently recruited to direct other state agencies, he went on to serve as a city manager in several Arizona cities.

Stu’s work on behalf of the deaf, which included testimony before Arizo-na Senator Barry Goldwater’s committee about the availability of closed captioning in television sets, helped to change a paradigm—whereas once people with deafness were largely denied social intercourse, today they are an integral part of society.

Renewing his vows in the Chapel of the Atonement surrounded by this wife and children in July 2011 was a high point in Stu’s life. The young boy, who once yearned to take a Sunday drive in someone’s car, now travels all over the world, yet returns to CFS. “As the Colonel used to tell us, CFS is like the parable of the mustard seed—you look at the CFS campus to-day and see what the smallest seed has brought about,” he muses.

Stu Brackney ’62 (right) and his wife, Mary Men-acker, surrounded by family members, renewed their vows in the Chapel of the Atonement in July 2011. Head of School, Rev. Edmund K. Sherrill II, officiated.

When David Hatchard ’93 composed this for his senior yearbook page, he may not have dreamed that today he would be building Apple Stores across the United Kingdom. And these stores could just be the eighth wonder of the world!

The School’s great diversity and its conscien-tious, caring teachers were CFS’s most impor-tant qualities for David. “These teachers taught in the classroom, coached my teams, and led by example after school and on weekends,” he ex-plains. Art teacher Jenny Sanderson was a key influence. With her guidance, David planned sculptures and containers, built them in clay and fired them in the kiln - the inspiration for a distinguished career in architecture. Coach Art Smith taught him discipline in chemistryclass and on the wrestling mat, which became the foundation for a strong work ethic and stamina during long hours of design studios at University and later in the professional world.

On CFS Career Day, David met an architect, an encounter which established the direction of his professional life. Though he always enjoyed building things with his hands, he began to think about the impact of architecture and how to shel-ter people in different ways. After CFS, he attended the New Jersey Institute of Technology, where he studied architecture. Armed with a BS in architecture and internship experience with a Newark architecture firm, he started his career in New York City designing and building residential and community space projects for Nobel prize winners at Rockefeller University, one of the leading biomedical research institutions in the world.

Later, working with a general contractor, he built homes for Fortune 500 and ce-lebrity clients in Manhattan. He next served as Senior Project Manager for the Lincoln Center Development Project. “This was a natural evolution of my career and a huge step forward for me, as I had an opportunity to engage with board members, the president of Lincoln Center, and world class architects and engi-neers,” says David. Involved in numerous fit-out projects, some incorporating digital art/media signage, he also managed the pre-construction phase of a four star restaurant at Lincoln Center.

David currently oversees the development of all Apple Stores in the United King-dom. His role as European Union Development Manager starts at real estate development and takes him through design, construction and grand openings. On June 25th, 2011, he opened his first store in England (The Oracle at Reading) and recently opened Festival Place in Basingstoke, England.

Inspired by his own CFS Career Day, David enhanced the experience by hosting a group of CFS students in New York City while he was at Lincoln Center. He took them on his then-current construction sites, took them to see a New York Philhar-monic rehearsal, viewed the British Posters exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and strolled through Central Park, whetting their appetites for the visual and musical arts. David’s goal was to inspire and encourage the next generation of CFS graduates to achieve anything they put their minds to.

David and his wife, June, are moving from New York City in October to live in London with their cat, Nomo.

David Hatchard ’93 and his bride, June, celebrate their wedding in Napa.

The Janet C. Hartzell “Angel Fund” was created in memory of long-time employee and devoted servant, Janet Hartzell. Both the School and Janet’s children (CFS Director of Alumni Relations Lori McDermott, Ginny McCann and Diane Hartzell) established this fund in her honor with an initial investment of what Janet would have received in added incentive had she been able to take advantage of a retirement package being offered by the School. It is intended to help certain families bridge an existing financial gap in tuition fees should their financial circumstances change unexpectedly.

The Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program allows businesses to receive a tax credit for up to 90% of their Pennsylvania State tax bill for a contribution made to an approved Scholarship Organization such as CFS. The companies below have supported CFS this year through EITC.
