Dear Team Blue What a year we ve had as a school community as we walked Forward in Faith through what the Lord had planned for us It was encouraging to know that as God s word says the Lord Himself moved before us and it was reassuring to know that no matter what challenges we faced He would never forsake us These words proved true beyond our greatest hopes this year In the Advancement Office we have a saying that says It s amazing what can be accomplished when no one cares who gets the credit I continue to be amazed at what is accomplished every day at POPCS and give full credit to our Lord for all He is doing here As we fearlessly stepped out of the shadow of COVID more than 400 of you volunteered your time energy and talents towards events and programs for our faculty staff and students Once again our community broke the record for donations to the school as you were moved to give more than 2 400 000 to the comprehensive Forward in Faith and Eagle Fund campaign Additionally for the fifth year in a row an unprecedented 86 of POPCS families supported one or both parts of this campaign on some level God was clearly with us and moving before us Because of your generosity POPCS has already begun construction on what will ultimately be the most comprehensive set of changes to our campus in over two decades The Middle School and Upper School SmartLab and the Eagle Success Center will be completed by the beginning of the 2022 2023 school year both of which will have a huge impact academically on our Eagles On the athletics side the Chris Hahn Gymnasium is undergoing an extensive renovation the locker rooms are being completely refurbished and new turf is being installed at Eagle Stadium Additionally your support gifted more than 30 000 towards faculty and staff appreciation As we begin the 2022 2023 school year it is my prayer that first and foremost we daily share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and make each member of our Eagle family feel Welcomed Known Connected and Prepared I pray that our administration faculty and staff model Jesus humility and servant leadership continuing to lead God s children with the help of the Holy Spirit s wisdom and discernment As always thank you for your support through your words actions and prayers To God be the glory Patrick Carlove Associate Head of School II Timothy 1 7 Together We Give Together We Soar 4

Why We Give W hy does any family give It might be to help someone in need or to be part of something For others it might be as simple as receiving a tax benefit In the case of Kathryn and Ben Hardman parents to POPCS students Hollynd 4th grade Kennedy 1st grade and McKella PreK 4 the reasons may be different but the end result is the same We give because there is something each of us significantly values about the Prince of Peace Christian School experience says Ben Ben Hardman came from a family that valued a strong education His father served as the President of the Board of Trustees at the small private school Ben attended while Ben proudly served as the President of the Student Council during that same time Ben who along with Kathryn works in the finance world says My family always gave of their time and resources and this has become more and more important to us Our family is blessed to have the resources to give and because we know that the early years in a child s life are critical we consider POPCS to be an investment in our children He continues Although we have only been here two years in my opinion the return on that investment has been amazing 5

While Kathryn attended public school she had a strong Christian upbringing For her giving to the school is part of tithing to which God calls us Kathryn explains By giving to POPCS whether it is time talent or treasure we are giving to God Although our family obviously reaps the benefit of what we give more importantly we are ensuring that POPCS continues to reach people for God s kingdom now and in the generations to come Because POPCS is an evangelical school that does not require a faith statement to be accepted the school even reaches those who may not have had any exposure to God or his love and grace The importance of this facet of POPCS is reinforced for Kathryn by an article she recently read which discussed the growing number of kids leaving the church What stuck with her the most from the article was that kids who remained believers shared the common characteristic of having had Christian principles woven into their everyday life That laid the foundation for their faith and made the difference when they left their homes to start their own lives shares Kathryn Whatever their reasons Kathryn and Ben agree on the rewards of giving to POPCS the first of which they list as getting to see the immediate tangible impact of their investment on the school s faculty facilities and programs In so many types of philanthropy you never get to see where your money goes It is much more personal and powerful to see the direct impact on the school your kids and the faculty you love and we get to see that every year when we come back to school in August points out Kathryn Of course the best reward is seeing the results of attending POPCS in their daughters We are investing in a school where our girls have been welcomed are known and contin ue to become increasingly connected states Ben When they made the move from Plano ISD their oldest daughter Hollynd was skeptical about making a change from her public school to POPCS But by the time she received a welcome package attended POPaPalooza and connected with some other kids she was willing to give it a try because of how she was welcomed Kathryn recalls Since then the entire Hardman family has found ways to connect and see the evidence of how their children are known Where else can you ask for lunch with the Associate Head of School before you even start and have teachers attend your daughter s baptism Kathryn marvels She also loves that the girls are constantly asking for her to play Jesus music and belting out the words to songs they sing in chapel Plus Ben adds we can clearly see how the school is preparing the kids for their future academically emotionally and spiritually For the first time since their girls have been in school Kathryn and Ben feel like they are getting to play offense instead of defense At the public school I was spending a crazy amount of time policing and managing what my kids were being exposed to and taught POPCS has given Kathryn and Ben a village to work alongside them in raising their girls as well as the confidence to know that if a situation does arise they will be heard and the situation will be handled in a Christ like manner and through a Christian lens Ben summarizes their feelings by sharing We know a lot of people who would never give up their lifestyle to send their kids to a private school even a Christian one But for our family it is the best investment we can make Coming from a couple who are both employed in the finance industry that sounds like the best motivation of all 6

Dear POPCS A tradition that I ve come to love and respect at POPCS is the selection of each year s Bible verse and accompanying school theme In the spring semester of each year Reverend Ashcraft and a group of rising seniors gather over the course of several weeks to have deep conversations about life family and school in order to see how God manifests Himself in our lives This process culminates in the students praying over and selecting a Bible verse that embodies how they perceive God working in their lives and then matching that verse to a school theme In the spring of 2021 our world was emerging from a pandemic the likes of which we had never seen This pandemic wreaked havoc on the physical and mental health of millions of people and its effects are still being felt Our then rising seniors selected Fearless as the school theme based on Deuteronomy 31 8 which reads The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you He will never leave you nor forsake you Do not be afraid do not be discouraged This powerful verse pierced our hearts as we moved into a new post pandemic normal in which our school community navigated a new learning environment as well as for the first time in 18 years a new Head of School Each time we worried about what challenge or anxiety the 2021 2022 school year might present we could boldly proclaim the Word of the Lord and speak faith and courage against it Do not be afraid God would assure Do not be discouraged Candidly at times it was hard to listen and trust those words from God And more than two years after COVID 19 first shut down our country we are just now seeing the full effect the pandemic had on our children School counselors across America find alarming anxiety depression and emotional deregulation in young students Academic behaviors have taken a hit with students experiencing difficulty with working together focusing time management and completing tasks Conflicts with friends online harassment and even physical altercations have increased It s almost too much to comprehend But when I look back at this past year I see a school and community that rallied together to inject a sense of normalcy family love care and faith into all our Eagle students reminding them that Jesus always walks ahead of them even during incredible uncertainty And how could they know this How could they see Him In the beautiful work of our teachers principals directors and staff I was blessed to witness faculty and staff greeting students daily with a smile hug fist bump or a wave letting them know that we were here for them praying with students in the hallway leading devotions before school and hanging out after a practice or game to make sure they were okay They are the hands and feet of Jesus who made our students feel Welcomed Known Connected and Prepared in a world we have never seen before trusting in Jesus to be with them as they led our students Quite simply our faculty and staff embodied the POPCS difference this last year and I could not be prouder of them I m so thankful we have a God who walks before us who will not leave us and who will encourage us in the darkest days Similarly I am thankful for all our families who are a critical part of our school community and family It is a blessing and honor to care for and teach your children Go Eagles Dr Jeremy Lowe Head of School 25

Building a Legacy of Giving 42 250 000 1 000 000 From the day Patrick Carlove accepted the job as Chief Advancement Officer for POPCS in 2016 those numbers represented his challenge in his new position Up until that time the highest percentage of families supporting the school s annual fund was 42 the largest amount raised by the annual fund was 250 000 and only 1 000 000 was raised in each of the 5 000 000 campaigns that took place from 2010 2015 In addition the school was facing a significant amount of facilities maintenance which had been deferred while the school added the dining hall and baseball diamond Today Patrick can breathe a little easier In the 2021 2022 school year the comprehensive Eagle Fund Forward in Faith campaign ended with 86 of families participating double the number of six years ago and more than 20 higher than the median participation for national independent schools i e non public In 2020 2021 the year before the Forward in Faith capital campaign was launched families donated more than 1 500 000 to the Eagle Fund allowing the school to complete the last of the past due maintenance including replacing roofs and AC systems changing out flooring and updating bathrooms Finally in the first year of the Forward in Faith campaign our community donated over 2 400 000 Those numbers would have been mind blowing six years ago In fact they are mind blowing for a lot of private schools many of them larger than POPCS says Patrick How did it happen This year s comprehensive Eagle Fund Forward in Faith campaign is the culmination of six years of work That work began with the development of a master plan for the campus in the fall of 2016 a wish list of sorts Starting with the master plan and then adding additional campus needs the POPCS Board created a strategic plan for bringing about needed facilities maintenance and enhancements for the period from 2016 2022 states Patrick He adds Once the strategic plan was in place all fundraising in the school was consolidated into the revamped POPCS 26

Once we were successful with the annual fund we were ready to launch a capital campaign An annual fund also serves as the best indicator of how much you can raise in a capital campaign It demonstrates what your community is capable of giving Research shows that a reasonable estimate of what you can raise in a capital campaign is five times the amount raised in an annual campaign That estimate aligns with what we did in our prior campaign so we knew that if we wanted to run a successful 5 000 000 campaign we had to raise more annually states Patrick Last but not least running an annual fund allows the school s Advancement team to cultivate relationships with leadership donors By developing relationships with leadership donors we have the chance to organically learn what changes core donors are passionate about seeing happen at the school For a capital campaign to be successful your planned projects must align with those areas in which your major donors are passionate Building a Team At the same time Patrick set out to change the face of POPCS fundraising he began searching for people to add to his team in the areas of data management volunteer recruitment event planning and annual fund participation growth The key to fundraising is finding the right people The Eagle Performance Center Elevating the POPCS Athletic Program O ver the last decade athletic programs have played an increasingly important role in schools profoundly impacting individuals schools and communities Regardless of the sport involved athletics brings people together teaches kids time management and teamwork expands leadership skills and in a school the size of POPCS offers kids the opportunity to try something new Thus taking an athletic program seriously is important to a school s overall health In the opinion of Alex Pena POPCS Assistant Athletic Director the strength of a program starts with its facilities Since I came to POPCS I have had the idea of creating a state of the art athletic complex I want a place that creates an identity for the athletic department and provides athletes with a facility of which they can be proud and in which they can come together sets out Coach Pena The current facility was built in 2004 at a time when the upper school athletic program was just getting started This facility has several challenges Although it has been expanded over the years the school s growth has outpaced the amount of equipment the school has meaning athletes waste valuable time waiting for openings to become available In addition the current equipment is outdated completely lacking in the technology which has changed the way athletes train The Forward in Faith campaign hopes to raise the money needed to change all of this If successful the campaign will allow POPCS to create a complex equivalent to that found in a small college The current weight room will be converted into locker rooms where student athletes can change clothes and congregate Right now kids are changing in whatever bathroom they can find We need to change that states Coach Pena The other side of the athletic facility will have 12 new platforms and racks outfitted with iPads so kids can track their performance Coach Pena explains This data can be viewed by the athletes showing them where they have room for improvement and be analyzed by coaches allowing them to create individualized workout plans for athletes which can be seen on TV monitors during workouts Coach Pena also hopes to add a new sports court and turf so that kids can do speed work in the gym With this accomplished POPCS athletics will have their complex every athlete will have a space and every sport will feel important says Coach Pena Current training facility 28

to build the right programs so you can ultimately build the facilities to house those programs says Patrick With jobs opening up in Advancement Patrick added Sue Joiner Sheri Land and Krista Bates Then we spent time together as a team hammering out the principles of our office Now those principles serve as the standard for everything we do in our office and we believe that if we adhere to those principles in doing our job success will follow Patrick shares see POPCS Advancement Team Principles inset on page 27 The results of this year s campaign demonstrate the accuracy of this belief By the time the Forward in Faith campaign concludes I believe we will have reached the 10 000 000 mark Where do we go from here The immediate goal is to finish strong with the Forward in Faith campaign Patrick says This past summer we accomplished four of our major campaign objectives renovating the Chris Hahn Gym building a Middle School Upper School SmartLab creating the Eagle Success Center and replacing the Eagle Stadium turf That leaves the Fine Arts Center updates and the Eagle Performance Center see Eagle Performance Center inset on page 28 and Fine Arts Center inset on page 29 At the current rate of support we may finish the capital campaign a year ahead of schedule which means all projects will be completed by summer of 2023 In the meantime the school s leadership has already completed a strategic plan that will govern maintenance and enhancements for the next six years Any funds raised above and beyond the requirements of the strategic plan will be used for additional items which are identified by the POPCS Clearinghouse and approved by the Board of Directors We are always looking forward stepping out in faith confident that God is going before us and trusting that He will bless our mission to share Christ with more people on a campus that is always evolving shares Patrick So you might say POPCS is stepping forward in faith So far so good 29 Fine Arts Center Transforming our Technology to Advance the Arts T hose who have experienced a fine arts production at POPCS know that the school boasts a roster of incredible fine arts faculty and a school full of talented students Similar to an athletic program the school s facilities serve as the cornerstone of the fine arts program Like in so many other areas of education the technology being used in stage productions is changing at lightning fast speeds This means the technology lights sound system etc originally installed when the Fine Arts Center was built in 2009 is greatly in need of an update One of this year s planned campaign projects will be updates to the Fine Arts Center At the current time the major priorities for the FAC are upgrading the main system for functionality upgrading microphones to replace those that are in the wrong frequency brackets and installing monitors for use by speakers Other needs include additional projectors upgraded house lights to lamps or even better a new LED system These upgrades will provide significant enhancements to the FAC raising the school s productions to new levels The world of technology is moving on says Rachel Dupree the POPCS Director of Theater and if we aren t moving with it we are limiting the potential of our program Rachel adds If we want to claim to be a high tech school we can t just do it by adding Macbooks iPads and a Smartlab we need the entire campus to be up to date So as they say in the theater world let s get this show on the road

RAY FRICKE S LEGACY LIVES ON IN THE GOOD SHEPHERD AWARD Given to those whose commitment service achievements involvement and passion for POPCS have made a generational impact on our community the Ray Fricke Good Shepherd Award is presented each spring at commencement The award was instituted in 2013 when it was presented to Ray s wife Marlene Fricke in his honor Ray Fricke served as principal of POPCS from 1991 1998 and is remembered for his servant heart and lasting dedication to our school This year s Good Shepherd Award recipient is Jeff Wolf Celia and Davis Wolf 14 Jeff and Julie Wolf Claire Wolf 15 and Josh Chiasson and Conrad Wolf Jeff Wolf A Man with a Mission O scar winning Best Picture Dead Poets Society is one of those movies that once seen is rarely forgotten But for Jeff Wolf fresh out of Texas McCombs School of Business the movie has had a lasting impact At one point Professor John Keating steps onto his desk Addressing his students he explains I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way Just when you think you know something you have to look at it in another way Even though it may seem silly or wrong you must try Looking back now Jeff sees how those words permanently changed how he views a challenge and for the last 12 years driving the way he has served POPCS While Jeff and Julie Wolf s first two children Davis 12 and Claire 13 attended pre school at POPCS the school became home when Davis and Claire reenrolled in lower school in 2006 joined by Conrad the third Wolf child In those early years Jeff was involved in the school in a variety of ways but in 2011 he was asked to join the Board of Directors As a board member Jeff would be on the front line facing challenges steering the school through uncharted waters and molding the school s future Despite the position being one that might seem daunting to some Jeff didn t hesitate to say yes At the time he joined the board POPCS was separating from Prince of Peace Lutheran Church The school immediately drew on Jeff s background in marketing asking him to review the current marketing plan make recommendations and develop a new strategy for the newly independent school With a board full of finance people and lawyers I felt like I could add value in the areas of technology and the promotion of the school says Jeff After a few years Jeff was asked to chair the Committee of Trustees where he helped recruit and educate new board members leaving his fingerprints on the school by ensuring a diverse and talented leadership group In 2018 Jeff was asked to chair the board for the 2018 2020 school years As Chairman he played a key role in helping to develop a 10 15 year strategy for the school updating the school s mission statement and developing the Portrait of a POPCS Graduate More recently he helped steer POPCS through COVID 19 and hire Dr Jeremy Lowe as the new Head of School For a while it felt like we were in survival mode Jeff observes but it finally feels like we are in a good place What is most obvious to those with whom Jeff serves is his contrasting skill set I am analytical but have a creative side I enjoy creating a vision but I equally enjoy figuring out how to pull it off and then realizing that plan And that scene from Dead Poets Society is always in the back of his mind As a change agent looking to help the school grow I want to look at life through different lenses So I am always asking myself and those around me whether we need to step back and look at this issue in a different way I love that challenge and because of what POPCS has done for our family it has always been a high priority for me to use this gift for POPCS When asked how Jeff Wolf has had a generational impact on the school Associate Head of School Patrick Carlove describes it this way The motivational speaker Zig Ziglar said Outstanding people have one thing in common An absolute sense of mission Jeff is an outstanding person who has a mission POPCS and he has used his God given talents for over a decade to further POPCS s mission impacting hundreds of lives So it is too easy to see how another John Keating quote Seize the day boys Make your lives extraordinary describes Jeff s service to POPCS making both his life and those he has impacted extraordinary 30
