supporting the Arts
celebrating the Mind
FROM THE HEAD OF THE SCHOOL
James Dawson
. . . supporting
the passion
encountered
throughout
PCS not only
produces powerful
artists, athletes,
entrepreneurs,
and technology
mavericks, but
also ensures that
we graduate well
educated citizens
of the world.
This past year, the last of our first one hundred years, was, true to form,
filled with ongoing evidence of the kind of sustained, enthusiastic, unwavering
support that has ensured PCS’s ability to support the arts and celebrate the
mind over this first century. Our Annual Fund, our Concert Celebration, our
Centennial Fund to eliminate our IDA Bond debt, our specially designated
funding efforts, such as the one supporting Tuition Assistance in honor of the
long and noteworthy service of Carol Kleban or the Senior/Eighth Grade Gift in
support of our technology initiative, are all a part of the larger fabric of strong
belief in what we do, in the students we serve, in the noble and proper notion
that supporting the passion encountered throughout PCS not only produces
powerful artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, and technology mavericks, but also
ensures that we graduate well educated citizens of the world. Each of the ways
in which the many donors noted herein directed their giving helped each of our
directed students to find their voice in the cacophony of noise endemic to the
modern world. Each of the foci that received the generous underwriting, the gift
in kind, the designated gift, the general support, and the extraordinary gesture of
giving made us a stronger school, created a stronger community, and ensured a
stronger future. It is only as the result of the past energy and generosity of this
remarkable community of supporters that we can be assured of the future ability
to succeed at touching the lives of the remarkable young people who continue to
be entrusted to us.
PCS takes this trust to the heart; we are proud of the work that we do, touched
by the lives that intersect with ours, dedicated to an ongoing search for the
proper tools to educate through our commitment to excellence in teaching
and concomitantly, excellence in support of our curricular goals, be it through
technology, professional development, mentoring, or evolving pedagogy. The
success of PCS is the result of a partnership among our parents, our students,
our faculty and support staff, and only comes to fruition as a result of the caring,
committed individuals who make our work possible through their generous
support of our program and our needs.
The past recedes behind us at the close of every day and the future pulls us
forward with every dawn. No organization, no special institution, no place of
learning and affirmation, no place of unyielding hope and endless possibility can
survive if it is not sustained by believers in the mission, purpose, scope and work
of that body. It is the silent but powerful work of all of our supporters – each of
you noted herein – which has made this first century a realized dream and which
allows us to move forward into the second century with certainty and assurance.
Thank you for making it possible to sustain this very special place called
Professional Children’s School. It is a place filled with exceptional young people,
affirmed by each of us as we endeavor to believe in them and in their own
individual, unique and extraordinary journey that boldly takes them forward into
the next one hundred years, filled with boundless hope and endless possibility.

FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Eileen “Lee” Dieck
As I enter my first year as Board Chair for
Professional Children’s School, I am profoundly
grateful to be part of an organization which
holds a unique and important place in the lives
of the students it serves. As the mother of
an alumnus, I know firsthand the “lifetime of
possibilities” that PCS ensures for its students;
with its emphasis on rigorous education,
flexibility of schedule and guided study, PCS
enables its students to acquire an excellent college preparatory education while
pursuing their passions in the arts, athletics and entrepreneurship. There simply is
no other school like PCS, and we are all fortunate to be a part of this institution.
I am grateful to our faculty and staff for the work they do so well on behalf of
our students.
I know firsthand
the “lifetime of
possibilities” that
PCS ensures for
its students; with
its emphasis on
rigorous education,
flexibility of schedule
and guided study,
PCS enables its
students to acquire
an excellent
college preparatory
education while
pursuing their
passions in the
arts, athletics and
entrepreneurship.
As we begin our centennial year, the Board of Trustees has focused on
celebrating the legacy of our first 100 years while simultaneously looking
toward ensuring the future of PCS. The Centennial Fund has been established
to recognize this incredible milestone, and the money raised through this effort
will be used to pay down the IDA bond which enabled our school’s expansion
in 2004. In addition, numerous celebratory events will be held throughout the
coming year. We hope you will join us at these events as we celebrate both our
rich history and our promising future.
James Dawson, our gifted Head of School, and John Tucker, our tireless Director
of Public Relations and Assistant to the Board, have spent hours interviewing
many of our alumni about the role PCS has played in their lives. The resulting
video, A Century of Dreams, offers inspiring testimony about the importance of
PCS to our alumni and reminds us of the important work we do to support not
only our students, but also the rich cultural climate of New York City and, indeed,
the United States and the world.
This year we welcomed three new trustees to our board, John Murray (father
to Jesse, class of 2015), Sarah Shepard (alumna, class of 1987) and Leslie Uggams
(alumna, class of 1960). A celebrated architect and author, John brings his skills
to the Finance and Building committees. Sarah, whose expertise is in the area of
social media and communications, is working with the Committee on Trustees
as well as the Institutional Advancement Committee. Leslie’s legendary career in
music, theater and television, along with her long-standing commitment to PCS
as an alum and parent (Justice Pratt, class of 1994) will enhance our efforts in
Institutional Advancement as well.
As we welcomed new members to our board, we simultaneously expressed our
gratitude to trustees who retired from the board at the end of June. Andres
Rios rotated off the board after completing his term as parent trustee. Mark
Rosenberg retired from the board after providing tremendous support as
Treasurer and Chair of the Finance committee, and Carol Canter retired from
the board after 15 years of service including her time as Chair of the Committee
on Trustees and Secretary. At the end of this report you will find a tribute
to our beloved trustee colleague and friend, Judith Mandrakos, who passed
away suddenly this fall. A fund in Judith’s name has been established for tuition
assistance, a focus that was near and
dear to Judith’s heart.
This year we have also welcomed
three new administrators to the PCS
Family. Alex Shaurette joined us this
summer as the Upper School Head,
Shari Honig, well known to many of us
in her prior faculty role, has assumed
the position of Director of Admissions,
and Christopher Haley joined PCS
in September as our Director of
Institutional Advancement. Their
energy and enthusiasm is infectious
and I am excited about what they
will accomplish in their respective
roles. As always, the Board and I are
deeply grateful for the constancy of
leadership offered by James Dawson.
We are indeed fortunate to have him
at the helm!
As we commence the celebration
of the first 100 years of Professional
Children’s School, I look with
anticipation to the future of this
school that has played such an
important role in the lives of talented
children. I am grateful for your ongoing
support and am hopeful that you will
continue to be generous as we work
to ensure the future of PCS for the
students yet to come.

What an exciting time to be a part of the PCS community as we enter our
100th year. PCS, like our students, has a lifetime of possibilities ahead.
We have so much to be thankful for in 2012-2013. We are particularly grateful
to our more than 350 parents, alumni, trustees, and friends who contributed
$1,254,138 during the 2012-2013 academic year.
Our Class of 2013 families raised nearly $36,000 to advance PCS’s
technological capabilities through the purchase of iPads and accessories. The
iPads are being used to facilitate multimedia interaction with a multitude of
subjects. Thanks to our Class of 2013 families, we now have 60 iPads for use
throughout the school by middle-school and upper-school students alike.
Students in art, history, science, and math classes are now using tablets on a
regular basis to enhance the classroom experience.
What an exciting
time to be a
part of the PCS
community as we
enter our 100th
year. PCS, like
our students,
has a lifetime
of possibilities
ahead.
PCS Concert Celebration, held at the historic Colony Club, delighted
attendees with performances by 14 incredibly-talented PCS students and a
special alumni guest. The performers played before a sold-out audience, and
the event raised almost $85,000 (gross) toward tuition assistance.
As most of you know, Carol Kleban, our beloved administrator, teacher and
friend, retired after 33 years of dedicated service to PCS. In her honor, PCS
created the Carol Kleban Tuition Assistance Fund, to raise funds to provide
financial aid support to deserving students. In 2012-2013, more than $14,000
was raised in Carol’s honor toward this most worthy cause.
Also, PCS is proud to have a new Centennial logo which graces our website,
school letterhead, and this publication, thanks to a generous gift from PCS
trustee, Charles Fagan, and his creative team at Polo Ralph Lauren.
During 2014, we will invite our extended community to join us for a number
of special events to celebrate our 100th year. We hope you will be able to join
us.
I look forward to becoming acquainted with our wonderful community of
generous supporters in the coming years, and I am exceedingly proud to be a
part of this vibrant institution.

This fund was created by PCS alumna and Trustee Denise Jackson
Sutherland, in memory of her parents Audrey Keppel Jackson (PCS
’39) and John Henry Jackson (PCS ‘35). The fund supports student
needs not covered by tuition assistance. Income from the fund
provides for the purchase of books, transportation to and from
school, eyeglasses, class trips, and other expenses beyond the reach
of students with financial need.
The Lavinia Reese Fund (established in 2009)
An endowed fund providing need-based tuition assistance for
PCS’s African-American students was established with a bequest in
December 2009 from Lavinia Reese. Ms. Reese was an employee of

Scholarships (established in 1992)
This fund provides tuition assistance for students with financial need.
The Robert J. Mariano Memorial Fund

Robert Mariano (PCS ’61) was the director of the first “All of
Us” musical in 1960, with fellow students Marvin Hamlisch, Leslie
Uggams, Christopher and Glen Walken and Lorin Hollander. The
show evolved over the years into the annual Spring Benefit. In 2003,
his many classmates and friends established this memorial fund
to help support the building and operation of the Peter Glenville
Theatre at PCS.
We are grateful to the many alumni, friends, parents, faculty and
staff who have made gifts to support our community over the years.
Additional gifts to any of these funds are especially welcomed as we
work to advance the mission of PCS.
The following individuals have
generously contributed toward paying
off the School’s IDA Bond. Once the
bond is retired, approximately $300,000
will be available annually to directly
support the School’s operating needs.
PCS will then enjoy the benefits of
additional dollars for faculty and staff
salaries and benefits, for ongoing
building improvements, for additional
support for our tuition assistance fund,
and for growing the endowment.

Honoring
CAROL KLEBAN
JUDITH KAPLAN
SHERRIE HINKLE
May 9, 2013 at PCS

the 2012-2013 academic year. Carol Kleban, who joined PCS in 1979,
retired from her position as Associate Head of School; Sherrie Hinkle, who served as our Director of Admissions, retired
after 15 years of service; and Judith Kaplan, our Learning Specialist, retired from PCS after being with us for six years. The
three extraordinary women were honored at a brief program at the school on May 9, 2013. We are grateful to each of
them for their service and dedication to PCS and for the countless PCS students they’ve impacted over the years.
Invest in the Future of PCS

In Loving Memory of
Judith
Mandrakos
January 10, 1938 – October 15, 2013
In 2013, Professional Children’s
School lost a long-time beloved
Board member, donor, supporter,
and friend. Judith Mandrakos was
an extraordinary supporter of PCS
who cared deeply for the remarkable young people entrusted to our
care. Her silent, often unbeknownst,
generosity frequently made the difference between attending and leaving the school for families in crisis
or financial difficulties. Judith cared
for our school at every moment and
in myriad ways. If service, generosity, and selflessness are the mark
of grace and elegance, then there
is no one who showed more grace,
more elegance, and more care than
Judith did. All of us at PCS, students,
faculty, staff, and trustees, benefitted from her graciousness. We are
profoundly grateful to Judith for the
countless ways she supported PCS.
Her loving presence and participation will continue to be missed for
many years to come.
