a message to the bosque community

Last May as I sat at both the middle school closing ceremony and later that day at our ninth graduation I wondered, “How could it be that Bosque School had the best school year imaginable when there was so much uncertainty in the world?” In a year when the flag was mostly at half staff and so many families were enduring financial hardship, why was life so good on campus? The answers to that question are both simple and complex. The short answer is that our students and teachers gave their best each and every day. Our message to faculty was simple: do not worry about external concerns; the school is in good shape, focus on your students and your teaching. As a result our graduates are well prepared and attending excellent colleges and universities across North America and in Europe. If you were present for the senior thesis colloquium you have a sense of their academic accomplishments. Our artists and athletes made us most proud. Our boys’ and girls’ soccer teams brought home state championships on the same night, and school spirit soared. All our teams flourished and the spectator stands were packed. Choral concerts, instrumental music, and theater productions gave us joy and the confidence that our students are capable of great performances. If you are in the foyer of the Findlay Arts Center, you know that we now have a revolving site specific installation of student art. In short, our faculty and students were at their best in 2008-2009. We also had a good year because of our determination. We were in the second year of a 5-year strategic plan and we were determined to meet our goals. A school in steady state is actually lagging behind. Continual growth and improvement was and is our mantra. We opened in August with our largest student enrollment and the most successful year in our annual fund to date, and a good year in capital giving. Because capital giving was less than we had hoped, we have a challenging year ahead in the campaign, but we consider our progress to date a significant success. Our parents and grandparents stepped up in so many ways to keep our school growing and thriving. If there was a single symbol of Bosque School’s commitment to growth and improvement last year it was watching the new schoolhouse coming out of the ground. When the world’s economy was in serious doubt we halted construction so that the Board of Trustees could be sure that the school was financially secure. Despite temporarily frozen assets and our endowment shrinking we had the confidence that we could go forward. One extraordinarily philanthropic grandparent knew how strategically important it was to build our new schoolhouse and thus we moved forward. As a result we started school this year in truly one of the most beautiful and awe inspiring school buildings in the country. Our upper school students are proud and grateful that they have been provided such a space to go about their daily lives. As you read this annual report I hope that you too are proud of Bosque School’s continued growth and success. We look to the 2009-2010 school year with equal optimism. It is my hope that all of you as friends and supporters of the school will continue to do all in your power to ensure the future success of this unique and precious school community. Thank you.

Andrew Wooden Head of School

commence-

ment address. “In observing your community, I am reminded of an approach to life that I learned about while living in South Africa. It’s called ubuntu. Roughly translated, it means I am because you are. It is a reminder of our interconnectedness- That I cannot exist without you. And there is a spirit of ubuntu here at Bosque.”

winterim Take a week in March and offer students the opportunity to explore an activity that isn’t normally taught in the classroom and you give them an experience that they will never forget. WINTERIM is an opportunity for students to experience and learn a skill, talent, trade or just explore nature and cultures. WINTERIM is experiential learning at its BEST…

“In the Canoeing Big Bend Winterim students load up their canoes with everything they need for a week long wilderness adventure. As they canoe the Rio Grande through Big Bend National Park they are dwarfed by giant rock formations, thousand foot high cliffs, and the Chihuahuan desert. They grow tall as they master backcountry skills, learn about and experience the US-Mexico border country, discover wildlife, and go to sleep under a giant star-studded sky unfettered by human lights.” Dan Shaw, Science Teacher

“There is something about floating in crystal clear water and having a 400 pound animal swim up and give you a kiss or hug or roll over for you to rub its belly. For many of the students, the Swimming with the Manatees winterim is their first interaction with a wild animal and for most it is the first time they have seen a manatee. For every student that interacts with these animals, we have created a life-long advocate for the endangered manatee and this is something they desperately need.” Sheri Mahoney, Biology Teacher

“Working with Habitat for Humanity is always a win-win. Habitat is unique in that it rewards both the volunteer as well as a family in need of a home. The volunteer learns construction skills that he or she can use in perpetuum, whether for the good of another or one’s own living space. There are few tasks as rewarding as building a house where there once was none. The fruits of one’s labor are immediately manifest in an inarguable benefit. More remarkable, is that this profound contribution can be made by our adolescents. This may not be for everyone, but for an intrepid few, the experience is a winner.” Dr. John Roth, Latin Teacher

performing & fine arts

Harvey, based on Mary Chase’s Pulitzer Prize winning play, is about a man named Elwood P. Dowd, whose best friend is a “pooka” named Harvey-in the form of a six foot, three-and-one-half inch tall rabbit that only he can see. After his sister tries to commit him to a mental institution, a comedy of errors ensues. Elwood and Harvey become the catalysts for a family mending its wounds and romance blossoming in unexpected places. “Well, Harvey can look at your clock…and stop it. And you can go anywhere you like, with anyone you like, and stay as long as you like, and when you get back … not one minute will have ticked by.” Elwood P. Dowd

2009 Spring Musical • Fiddler on the Roof The Fiddler plot is set in the small Jewish village of Anatevka, Russia, in 1905 and is focused primarily with the efforts of Tevye, a dairyman, his wife, Golde, and their five daughters who are coping with their harsh existence under Tsarist rule.

Fiddler ontheRoof

“A fiddler on the roof. Sounds crazy, no? But here, in our little village of Anatevka, you might say every one of us is a fiddler on the roof trying to scratch out a pleasant, simple tune without breaking his neck. It isn't easy. You may ask 'Why do we stay up there if it's so dangerous?' Well, we stay because Anatevka is our home. And how do we keep our balance? That I can tell you in one word: tradition!”-Tevye

Grandparent Day • Connecting Generations Every September Since 1978, Americans have celebrated National Grandparent Day in the United States. At Bosque School, we know getting grandparents involved in the education of their grandchildren is very important. In 2007, the Bosque School Grandparent’s Association was formed and Bosque Grandparent Day was established. Today, it is a tradition to celebrate Grandparent Day at Bosque School each year on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. We are continually inspired by the curiosity and knowledge our grandparents bring to just one short morning of classes with their grandchildren. On November 23, 2008, we welcomed nearly 200 Bosque Grandparents to a morning of breakfast, classes with their grandchildren, and performances by the students. 16

Bempin’ it up! As a center for bosque and environmental education and research, the Albert J. and Mary Jane Black Institute at Bosque School strives to build connections between students, their community, and the riverside forest and associated watersheds that sustains and binds them all. The work of the Black Institute accomplishes three things:

1st 2nd 3rd

it orchestrates learning opportunities to help people understand river ecosystems and their supporting watersheds.

it provides participants with time in an urban, riverside forest to allow them to have firsthand experiences with their local environment and develop a sense of place within it.

the Institute supports people as they take action to restore and sustain the ecological integrity of the Rio Grande and its watershed.

The Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Program BEMP is a joint project of the University of New Mexico's Biology Department and Bosque School’s Black Institute. BEMP now involves nearly 5,000 K-12 students, teachers, and other citizens each year in the collection of key data about the functioning of the Rio Grande and its riverside forest, the bosque.

BEMP Research BEMP, now in its 14th year, is the longest running, most widely distributed monitoring effort in the Middle Rio Grande bosque. Research efforts consider the impacts of climate, fire, flood, river flow regime, restoration and management activities, and climate as ecological drivers acting upon the Rio Grande and its riverside forest. Key research areas include:

• Vegetation distribution • Vegetation composition • Cottonwood tree abundance • Plant production (biomass) • Fuel load and wildland fire risk • Surface active arthropods (biodiversity)

• Ground & surface water quality • Groundwater depth • Precipitation • Temperature (sub-surface & air) • Soil characteristics • Ancillary wildlife studies

25th BEMP site dedicated to Dr. Cliff Crawford The Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Program (BEMP), dedicated the 25th BEMP monitoring site to BEMP Program Director Dr. Cliff Crawford. The Crawford Site is located in Belen, in an area that burned in the 2007 bosque fire. This site was set up as part of a joint effort between BEMP, the New Mexico Natural Heritage Program, Hawks Aloft, the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission and the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District.

community service learning Bosque School students participate in community service each year as part of their academic curriculum. Many students are involved in group activities and others find their own way to give back to their community. Reilly Kelly ’14 collected over 1,500 quilting squares from around the county to assemble 36 blankets. The completed blankets were donated to UNM Children’s Hospital Child Life Program, Catholic Charities, and Rachel’s Court at Presbyterian Hospital.

If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain. If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.

The Bosque School Key Club hosted two blood drives on campus during the 08-09 school year collecting enough blood and platelets to help 200 people. Sean O’Neill ’10 applied for and received a $1,000 grant from the National Environmental Education Foundation in partnership with the Weather Channel and Planet Connect to build a kiosk at a bosque trailhead. This educational kiosk provides information about the ecosystem of the bosque and its importance to Albuquerque for visitors. Amber Price ’10 was elected to serve as the Junior Civitan International Director. Price also serves as governor of the Junior Civitan Club of the Greater Southwest District, which includes Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado. Junior Civitan is a community service organization for students to promote progress in a world of change. Bosque students created and donated paintings to the “ART for the ANIMALS,” an event designed to benefit the Animal Humane Society of New Mexico.

Members of the Middle School Reading Club, Madeline, Isabel and Modesto, joined Bosque Librarian Mary Tuttle, at the Christina Kent Early Childhood Center, to read to the 4 and 5 year old group, and donated over 230 books they had collected in a school book drive, nearly doubling the size of Christina Kent’s library! The Christina Kent Center provides low-cost childcare, education, and nutritional services to the children of low-income working families in a safe and nurturing environment. Three Bosque students were selected as volunteer student educators for Operation Smile 2009 medical missions. Gina Castilleja ’09 went to Cairo, Egypt; Rachael Durham ’10 traveled to Zhengzhou, China; and Lauren Pitre ’10 volunteered in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. These three students volunteered and supported over 80 medical mission surgeries on their respective mission trips. Co-sponsored with Albuquerque Open Space division on maintaining trails and the burn site north of the Montano Bridge, students spent many weekend hours cleaning the bosque and planting trees. Ivan Lawit ‘09 earned his Emergency Medical Technician Intermediate (EMT-1) License and Nurse Tech III from the state of New Mexico. He led the volunteer student Medical Reserve Corps at Bosque School in 0809 and was an on-site EMT for the school. Lawit volunteered with the Sandia Peak Ski Area Patrol, the Los Ranchos Fire Department and with Bosque Farms Fire and Rescue during high school. Lawit is currently a freshman at the University of Maryland studying fire and rescue through the Bunk Room Program. The Medical Reserve Corps at Bosque has 24 students registered for the 09-10 school year. They each get a first responder license and eventually work their way up to the Emergency Medical Technician Basic license and then continue to pursue the Intermediate Licensure and Nurse Tech III. Students volunteer emergency medical services on campus, with the Department of Homeland Security and outreach education. Nine Bosque students chose a working Winterim spending five days working on three homes for Santa Fe’s Habitat for Humanity. Bosque students poured concrete, prepped for stucco work and painted for the newly constructed homes that will provide a permanent home for three different Santa Fe county families. The Bosque volleyball teams hosted Volley for a Cure. This volleyball tournament held in October 2008 raised $664 supporting breast cancer awareness!

The ruth jackson study

The Ruth Jackson Study honors the immense talent and generosity of Ruth Harriet Jackson who was born on September 23, 1895 in Des Moines, Iowa and died on May 21, 1992 in Tucson, Arizona. A graduate of Mt Holyoke College, she received her Masters Degree in microbiology from University of Pittsburgh. She worked in her father’s company, Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company from 1921 to 1925 as a statistician and from 1925 until 1956 she was a partner in PDM. During the 1930's and through WWII she worked in a lab for the PA Health Department in Pittsburgh. She once told her niece that she would have liked to have become a doctor. After the war, Ruth owned and operated a dairy farm in Chautauqua County, New York (raising New York State Fair prize winning Guernseys!). In 1969 Ruth retired from farming and moved to Tucson, Arizona where she was living at the time of her death. Ruth Jackson was the honored matriarch of the Jackson family, highly educated and a professionally successful woman in every way, yet one still wonders what more Ruth Jackson would have accomplished in our time. The Ruth Jackson Study also celebrates the larger Jackson family and the marvels of the Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company. For over one hundred years PDM was known for its engineering genius, designing and creating structures previously unimaginable. Over the fireplace is a photograph of the United States’ tallest national monument, The Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, also known as the St. Louis Gateway Arch (1962), which inspired the book about PDM, Towering over America. Designed by architect Eero Saaranin, the structure manifests engineering and construction expertise unequalled in complexity and scope. Other PDM structures exhibited are the Francis Scott Key Bridge, Penn State Stadium, Crystal Cathedral in California and the steel foundation of the World Trade Center. At the time of the company’s 100th anniversary, PDM celebrated that, “Hardly any project has been too difficult for the company to tackle.” These are fitting words for the Schoolhouse. In the fall of 2008 with the country’s financial system in near collapse, the descendents of the Jackson family encouraged the school to move forward with this building and to enlarge its scope rather than to scale back. A gift from Polly Jackson Townsend, a Bosque School grandparent and Ruth’s niece, has made possible the Ruth Jackson Study. It is the family’s hope, and the school’s too, that the spirit and gifts of invention, engineering, and dedication to attempt greatness that have been the hallmarks of PDM and the Jackson family will inspire students to follow in these footsteps in science, engineering, design and architecture. The strong and enduring core beliefs and corporate philosophy of PDM are noted in the April 1982 letter from William R. Jackson, son of founder William H. Jackson, to his granddaughter, Sayre Townsend Gerhart, Bosque School Trustee and parent. The Jackson family extends this wish of his to the larger Bosque School community: “It is a responsibility of each person to see that what he has is wisely taken care of and also to see that society is benefited as well as himself. Even the Bible admonishes everyone who receives a talent to look after that talent with wisdom. I hope that this heritage of yours will be beneficial to you and give you much happiness.”

New schoolhouse Finishing Touches The 2008-2009 school year was a fast and furious stretch to the finish line as the Bosque facilities department and Reid and Associates worked to complete the new upper schoolhouse for the first day of classes in August. This new “Front Door” to our campus includes eight classrooms, technology center, student reading room, college guidance suite, and a reception area for all campus visitors. Additionally, it provides student interaction areas, and a conference room, as well as faculty and administrative offices. The ongoing success of the Phase III Capital Campaign inspired the Board of Trustees to confidently move forward with the Upper Schoolhouse which opened on schedule for the start of the 2009 – 2010 academic year. The new 15,124 sq ft building is the school’s front door to the campus. We have reached the half way point towards the $4 million cost and hope to complete this campaign in early 2010.

Your Financial Support Can Make a Difference Thank you to parents, grandparents, and friends who have already stepped forward to support this vital project, which has transformed student life at Bosque. For more information on how you can help, contact Andrew Wooden, Head of School, or Peter Meehan, Director of Advancement. We invite you to share in our vision of continuing to make Bosque School a place where students have every opportunity to learn, grow and succeed. We are proud of what we have been able to accomplish to this point but we are far from the finish line. Please join us as we work to complete our Phase III capital campaign aspirations.

financials Summary of Bosque School Financial Activities Financial statement presentation follows the recommendations of the Financial Accounting Standards Board in its Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 117, “Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations.” Under SFAS No. 117, the School is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets and permanently restricted net assets. The School reports its expenses according to three functional classifications: Program Services, Management & General, and Fund Raising. The school’s plant expenses are included in Management & General. Common costs are allocated among classifications. The School is an organization described in Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and therefore is exempt from federal and state income taxes. The financial statements of Bosque School have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and accordingly reflect all significant receivables, payables and other liabilities. Bosque School has completed fourteen years of a balanced operating budget, with funded depreciation. Bosque School received an unqualified opinion on its 2008-2009 financial audit, the highest level of reporting possible. Auditors have also reported that there is a reliable system of internal controls in place in the School’s accounting functions. The School’s net assets have increased by over 17 million dollars since June 30, 1999. Bosque School is in compliance with donor gift restrictions and covenants imposed from bond financing. All financial indicators are strong and student enrollment continues to grow and stabilize. A copy of Bosque School’s audited financial statements is available by request.

building for the future Bosques School’s upper school house was designed to meet the standards of the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Deisgn) program. LEED is a rating system used to distinguish high-performing, sustainable buildings. The regulations are designed so that construction is healthy and durable for the occupants and the environment. Rohde, May Keller & McNamara Architects and Reid & Associates contractors followed sustainable energy guidelines while planning and constructing the newest buidling on the Bosque School campus.

Many of the visible features and even a longer list of invisible features adhere to the LEED guidelines and focus on areas of sustainability. Systems and specific materials used were: solar panels, LED lighting, high-efficiency heating and cooling, xeriscaped landscaping, roof water harvesting for irrigation, and carpeting and furniture made from recycled materials.

We thank the following businesses and individuals who provided their services, expertise, and materials to meet sustainable energy standards - Boduers - A division of Bosch Solar, DKD Electric, Yearout Mechanical, The Socha Company, Noribachi LLC, Frank’s Supply, Inc., Jim and Mara Klabunde, Camnet, and Visible Light Solar.

“molly’s place” evolution The land Bosque School sits on holds meaning and a special sense of place for many. In May of 1999, original land owner Ray Graham, Trustee Jay Rembe, and Andrew Wooden planted a cottonwood as part of the Land Ceremony dedicating our campus and the original 23 acres. Today, our students enjoy a 45-acre campus that connects to the Rio Grande bosque and broadens our educational scientific research opportunities. In 2005, the Good Samaritan Foundation made a $75,000 gift towards the acquisition and preservation of the additional acreage. The foundation requested that a piece of the land be named in honor of Molly Wooden. This space, now known as Molly’s Place, lies near the eastern edge of Bosque School’s campus, which connects the school to the adjacent bosque. While planning for this outdoor space, Ray and Barbara Graham generously donated an Ed Haddaway sculpture, “Daddy’s Barking Dog,” from their art collection. It was the perfect way to compliment and define this outdoor learning and gathering site on our campus. To further enhance the space, David and Sarah Treeson, in honor of their daughter Zoe’s graduation, made a generous gift to the school to turn Molly’s Place into a beautiful and inviting area for students and teachers to reflect. They created a garden like atmosphere, which is used daily by students en route to and from the bosque, as well as by the entire school community for small class work, informal study and conversations. Indeed, it embodies a special sense of place for many. Luke Resnick was the landscape architect responsible for implementing the Treeson’s ideas.
