It all Begins with CLARKE

Following Commencement, CLARKE President Dennis Gjerdingen congratulates Grady Congleton outside Helen Hills Hills Chapel on the Smith College campus.

FROM CLARKE PRESIDENT DENNIS GJERDINGEN On a beautiful day in June, our graduates were handed their CLARKE diplomas during a memorable ceremony at the Helen Hills Hills Chapel. They were ready for their new high schools and for new beginnings. We were so proud of each of them. As Grady Congleton gave me a firm and confident handshake, I remembered how it all began for him and his family 13 years ago. The whole family had moved from Maine to western Massachusetts, so Grady could benefit from CLARKE’s early childhood programs. When a new job opportunity emerged, Grady’s family moved again—this time to eastern Massachusetts. Five-year-old Grady stayed here with us in our boarding program and received a top-notch oral education. Over the years, he befriended many, especially his favorite houseparent, “Miss Jean” Domzalski. During our end of the year pinning ceremony, there was not a dry eye in the room when he chose her as the person who had influenced him the most. On his graduation day, when Grady came up to me and said, “Thank you, Mr. Gjerdingen,” I could not help but think that I should be thanking Grady, his family and all our families—for choosing CLARKE. I am so fortunate to be leading CLARKE in this time of growth and change. We have such an interesting, dynamic history, but in no way are we stuck in yesterday. We have come a long way and have taken on many challenges. But we are still standing strong —steadfast in our mission to give deaf children the brightest future. We are doing this not only in Northampton, MA, but also at four schools for children and their families in Greater Boston, New York City, Greater Philadelphia and Jacksonville, FL. CLARKE has pioneered many firsts and its staff has served as leaders, advocates and mentors for many

programs around the nation and globally. We are the leader in our field because we keep moving forward. We have spearheaded the rapid changes that come with technological advancements, such as cochlear implants, and have worked diligently on our strategic plan to secure a sound future for more children. We are in the process of redesigning our main campus to provide a more efficient and effective setting for our professionals and the families we serve. We have expanded profes- At the graduation sional training opportunities for ceremony, one of Grady’s speech/language pathologists and audiologists.

I wish him and all the graduates a happy and confident life with CLARKE as their foundation.

Chairman’s Report

J. GIPE

Commencement speaker and Chairman Harley Sacks celebrates with Renee Paul (l) and Maggie Mannix (r) who gave welcome speeches at Graduation Exercises in June.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES CHAIRMAN HARLEY SACKS Twenty-five years ago, I was a first-time visitor to Clarke School. I stepped into its classrooms and saw deaf and hard-of-hearing children working hard to achieve what hearing people sometimes take for granted. I was amazed. That’s how it all began for me. A lot has changed since then; I am now the Board chairman. But CLARKE has not changed its status—it is still the leader in educating deaf children and in training professionals for the field. This is due to the talented teachers and staff. I would like to thank them and all the friends who support CLARKE. We couldn’t do it without you! CLARKE has been fortunate that its Board members have positioned the school to adapt to change. In the last ten years, our expansion to include five campuses has allowed us to help more children and their families than ever before. Student enrollments are growing yearly and the programs are thriving. The Board has also positioned CLARKE for a sound future. A study conducted to determine how far we have come has resulted in solid recommendations where we should be heading to better serve all people with hearing loss. This intensive study required many interviews and we thank our friends for their valuable time and input. We will remain strong with our four priorities as part of our strategic planning initiatives:  Expand and enhance our early childhood programs;  Enhance school programs for both day and boarding students;  Increase our Mainstream Center support for children, families and schools;  Expand Professional Training opportunities. While change is inevitable, “the more things change, the more they remain the same.” 1 As we go forward, the role of our Board is unchanged. Membership however, does change. Experience and commitment 2

are valued. At the same time we need new perspectives and varying experience to keep CLARKE’s board fresh and vibrant. Change of membership is inevitable and must be coordinated, nourished, anticipated and directed. Parting with Board members is thus bittersweet. This year two long-serving Board members have retired: Richard Covell (38 years) and Janet Hemminger (23 years). Mr. Covell served as vice chairman of the Board and chaired a number of committees including the Development Committee that raised $10 million for our successful Crusade for Speech capital campaign. He helped to establish our Coolidge Fellows and was instrumental in helping with our Speak for Yourself campaign. Mrs. Hemminger has spent many years on campus attending meetings, helping with special events and most of all teaching our students how to swim. She chaired the Building Committee and served on the Executive Committee through many major projects. She always was the first to speak on behalf and in support of the staff. Each has a deep and abiding love for CLARKE, its people and its mission. We will miss them. We respect the intellect, dedication and passion that each brought to CLARKE. Two trustees celebrate their anniversaries: Catherine Bartlett, M.D., at 10 years, and Gilbert Coville, at 30 years. Dr. Bartlett, a local pediatrician, is our Board vice chair, Education and Research Committee chair and Executive Committee member. Mr. Coville serves on our Development Committee and proudly carries the family ties with Alexander Graham Bell, who also served on our Board. We will not stop doing what we do best. We will be modifying what we do to reach more children and families. This next year promises to be a very exciting one. 1. Alphonse Karr. Les Guepes, January 1849

From Preschool to Middle School, smiling students returned excited to see their friends, teachers and our staff. We began the year with a special event celebrating Northampton’s 350th yearlong anniversary. Talented students, staff and alumni joined together for an historical walking tour and old-fashioned ice cream social. Visitors met Alexander Graham Bell, Grace and Calvin Coolidge and many others from CLARKE’s illustrious past. Throughout the year, students outdid themselves with fun educational projects that led to great accomplishments.  Hands-on activities and learning experiences in our Integrated Preschool Program classrooms came to life during field trips to a family farm, apple orchard, pet store, downtown Florence and grocery store.  Students recorded CLARKE’s first music CD with instrumentation and lyrical songs. Other students created a music dance video.  Students placed in all top three spots in a western Massachusetts math poster contest and first place for a regional Lions Club peace poster contest.  Students raised money for local homeless and animal shelters, the American Red Cross Tsunami victims and Shriner’s Hospital.  Celebrate America! Our mid-winter unit gave students the opportunity to tell us about their home state as they celebrated the United States and its many attributes, from food to famous landmarks.  From the Ski and Snowboard Club to the Yearbook and Newspaper clubs, our students gained confidence after school learning new skills.

With early identification and amplification, babies can learn to listen and talk in the crucial early months and years of language development. Our early childhood programs, including our Northampton Parent-Infant Program and Preschool, and our four early childhood schools along the East Coast, provide families with the support children need to build a strong auditory/oral foundation.

CLARKE’s Early Childhood Schools

CLARKE SCHOOL EAST

Thank you grandson and his friends the skills that they will need to begin their life’s journey. They are a happy group of children who are gaining the self assurance they need. This is happening not only because of all your hard work, but because of all the joy and fun you put into it. Dr. and Mrs. John Madonna 4

J. SPIRAKIS

The first of our early childhood schools along the East Coast began with an ambitious CLARKE-trained teacher of the deaf who gave Greater Boston area children with hearing loss the opportunity to listen and speak. In 1995, Clarke School East Director Cara Jordan traveled to children’s homes offering early intervention services and a new beginning for families. Clarke School East is filled with happy children in their Canton, MA, school. More than 35 children and their families benefited from the services offered by Clarke School East staff throughout the year.  The school was chosen to participate in an OPTIONschools certification pilot program, which will raise the bar for new certifiable oral deaf education schools throughout the country.  Our students welcomed the Duxbury High School band to their school for a for giving our special musical program. CLARKE





students experienced new sounds through instruments and the teenagers learned about hearing loss and cochlear implants. Students enjoyed field trips that reinforced the vocabulary and language learned in the classroom by visiting local grocery and pet stores and going berry picking. More than 100 families and staff, including grandparents and great grandparents, celebrated the end of the school year with a Family Fun Day featuring activities, games and ice cream sundaes.

CLARKE NYC Director Teresa Boemio began the year hammering out plans for expansion to serve more young children and their families at the two-level Manhattan-based school. When construction was completed, we had new classrooms, speech therapy rooms, office space

and a gym. A group designed specifically for young 2-year-olds tripled in enrollment by year-end. In addition to our program for deaf and hearing preschoolers, two new classrooms offered more educational options for families. Forty children and their families were served by our mission to help New York City children prepare for regular schools.  The New York State Speech-Language-Hearing Association presented Clarke NYC the Distinguished Clinical Services Award for our efforts to expand services to families of children with hearing loss.  Our friends from Goldman Sachs hosted a field day with our students in Central Park.  Graduate students from Hunter College and Teachers College learned firsthand about teaching skills from our staff.  For the fourth year, nearby Chapin School girls helped in the classroom as part of their community service program.  Families came together throughout the year to share their children’s school experiences through video clips and lively discussions in parent groups.

CLARKE JACKSONVILLE Director Susan G. Allen reported that although the year began at a steady pace, our staff experienced “astonishing advances” in our students’ progress. Since 1996, 21 students have graduated and entered regular schools. More than 40 students and their families benefited from the services throughout the year. With expanding enrollment, CLARKE purchased property to build a new school building.

Field trips to The Princess and the Pea, the local library and the St. Augustine Alligator Farm filled the year with listening and new language for Clarke Jacksonville young learners. Kindergarten students read all of Eric Carle’s books and performed the “The Very Busy Spider” for a year-end program. Families, friends and staff came together for an end of the year celebration. Twenty-two students sang and performed plays and stories.

Our teachers traveled to homes and helped many new families with support and early intervention services. Director Dan Salvucci attributed the growing

number of families to the referrals from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the Montgomery County’s Early Intervention Placement Agency. Clarke Pennsylvania assisted more than 30 children and their families in the Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey areas.  Preschoolers enjoyed the outdoors on our new nature trail created by friend Charles Wenzel and a volunteer group.  Expansion began for a “rainy day space” for children and staff on our lower level.  Mr. Salvucci and staff worked with the Educational Consultant Training program, a consortium of professionals from Smith College, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and CLARKE, that trains teachers to work effectively with children with cochlear implants. This model will now be used to begin programs in Georgia and California.

Center for Oral Education

Audiologist Holly Altman checks the hearing aids of Donald Barton whose road to better hearing began at CLARKE’s Center for Audiological Services.

It all began with our mission to help people of all ages with hearing loss. We have served thousands of individuals and families with our wealth of resources and depth of experience. The Mainstream Center experienced a year of growth in outreach services. With Director David Manning, our staff provided support and guidance to public and private school professionals so they can meet the needs of their deaf students. Conferences, workshops, services and outreach materials helped other professionals become better educators.  More than 250 parents, professionals and students from 35 states attended the 25th annual Mainstream Center fall conference, “The Whole Child: Discovering Potential, Providing Support, Celebrating Progress” at the Springfield Sheraton.  Mainstream Center professionals entered a fiveyear partnership with the Bermuda school system to train staff on implementing an oral program for deaf and hard-of-hearing students.  Our staff created three new oral transliterating videos and other materials for families and professionals. The Comprehensive Educational Evaluation program professionals provided educational evaluations for more than 50 students with hearing loss, ages 4 to 18, who attend schools throughout the country. These families received recommendations that were used by their children’s school systems.  The CEE team, coordinated by Joanne O’Connell, provided on-site professional training for graduate students in the Smith College/CLARKE Graduate Teacher Education Program and professionals from other programs and schools.  CEE staff gave presentations at conferences, taught classes at a local college, conducted workshops, published articles and attended

meetings with educators throughout New England.  The professionals at the Center for Audiological Services, led by Audiologist Holly Altman, helped more than 350 new clients to improve their access to sound through expert evaluations, support and state-of-the-art amplification.  More than 100 children, age 4 and under, received pediatric audiological services.  CLARKE continued its unique collaboration with the Cochlear Implant Program at Baystate Medical Thanks to the support Center in Springfield, MA, and advice I received with audiologist Jeanne Coburn helping implant recipients learn during a hearing how to use their devices. Ms. Coburn also received certification screening, I am from the American Board of Audiology, which made CLARKE trying out my first one of the first facilities in the hearing aid.

During Better Hearing and Kathleen Konopka, age 74, Speech Month, more than Greenfield, MA 50 adults from the community received free hearing screenings and advice. Assistive Devices Center Director Jackie Gauger participated in presentations and workshops related to assistive devices, hearing loss, speechreading and oral transliterating. In addition to outreach efforts, we hosted visitors who learned about equipment and gained a better understanding of hearing loss. A new brochure allows our clients to learn about various devices available through the ADC.

Professional Training

J. GIPE

Director of School Audiology Frank Iglehart helps Jill Eckerly with mapping a cochlear implant as part of her training to earn a doctorate in audiology.

It all began with a desire to provide deaf children the best oral education possible. As a result, CLARKE became the first to train teachers of the deaf. In the last 20 years, our graduates from the Smith College/ CLARKE Graduate Teacher Education Program have changed the lives of more than 25,000 children and their families. Today, in collaboration with Smith College, we are preparing the finest teachers for all parts of the world. More audiologists and speech/ language pathologists are gaining hands-on experience, while they do their clinical fellowship training. Others seek our Professional Training Institute annual workshops and symposia. CLARKE staff from all five campuses gave presentations at conferences, seminars and offered support to other schools as well. This was a pivotal year, full of conferences, courses and collaborations.  CLARKE began a five-year commitment to help professionals in Bermuda improve their auditory/ oral programs. Members of our staff offered their expertise in Bermuda to educators and speech/ language pathologists, in addition to training them on our main campus.











CLARKE staff worked with Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in the Educational Consultant Training Program preparing teachers of the deaf to work with children with cochlear implants. A two-day math workshop for educators held on our main campus showcased our innovative Millennium Mathematics Curriculum designed for children in grades K-8. As part of a clinical fellowship year program, CLARKE trained professionals in Northampton and Jacksonville who accelerated their careers in audiology and speech/language pathology. A two-day workshop on the Desired Sensation Level for infants and young children brought together audiologists in our Professional Training Institute. By Commencement, all 12 graduates of the Smith College/CLARKE Graduate Teacher Education Program had job offers for the fall. Three graduates joined our Clarke Pennsylvania school and one joined our Middle School in Northampton.

The professional training I received at CLARKE has set the foundation for my career as a pediatric audiologist. I rely on my experiences from working with the students and the entire staff at CLARKE, especially when working with patients and their families who have either newly diagnosed or established hearing losses.

Throughout our history, CLARKE has been an international resource thanks to the generous support of our friends. This support not only helps children develop speech and language, but also is allowing CLARKE to shape the future to meet the educational needs of children and their families everywhere through early childhood initiatives, professional training and educational and outreach programs. This year, more than 2,000 gifts totaling $6,225,667 enhanced and expanded our work. The Oberkotter Foundation provided tremendous support to our five schools along the East Coast that are serving more than 500 children and their families. Thousands of additional children benefited from teachers and professionals trained at CLARKE and from our research and mainstreaming services. Thanks to the Foundation’s commitment to providing educational opportunities for children, families and professionals, CLARKE is reaching more families than ever before. Our goal of offering rich educational opportunities to all students continues with the help of our many friends. Leadership gifts were given this year by Constance Whitney, Mr. and Mrs. William Thomas II, the Irene E. & George Davis Foundation, the Seth Sprague Educational and Charitable Foundation, the Ida Ballou Littlefield Memorial Trust and the Kegel Family Foundation, along with some very generous gifts from anonymous friends. Their support impacted children and their families on all our campuses through innovative teaching methods and materials. Other inspiring gifts that provided support to all our programs came from Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Anderson, Dr. and Mrs. Charles H. Hemminger, Aimee M. Peterson, Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Smith, Jean Salter Roetter, Julia J. Matthews, Warner Brothers and the Handicapped Children’s Fund at the New York Stock Exchange. Additional major gifts were given by the Theodore H. Barth Foundation, the William Rosenberg Family Foundation, the Zobel Foundation, the Clarke Foundation for the Deaf, MassMutual Life Insurance Company and Katherine Babbitt who established a charitable gift annuity to help children in the future. A number of gifts were earmarked for our individual schools. Major support was given to our Clarke School East campus from The Bessie Pappas

Charitable Foundation, The Bushrod H. Campell and Adah F. Hall Charity Fund, the Copeland Family Foundation, the John W. Alden Trust, the Ida S. Charlton Charity Fund, Liberty Mutual Group, TJX Foundation, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Long, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Rockett, and The Millipore Foundation.

Mosler, the Rotary Club of Mandarin, FL, the Lucy Gooding Charitable Foundation and Dr. and Mrs. Ronald R. Foreman. Mr. and Mrs. Brian Riano, Mr. and Mrs. Lyor Cohen and The Hyde and Watson Foundation provided generous leadership gifts for Clarke NYC. All of these gifts helped CLARKE meet challenge grants and provided the very best educational opportunities for our students. Mr. and Mrs. M. Harrison Clark established a special fund this year to help students enrolled in the Smith College/CLARKE Graduate Teacher Education Program. Our future teachers will now have funding available through our work/study program. Scholarships were provided by many of our friends to give students the advantage of a Clarke School education. These friends included The George F. and Sybil H. Fuller Foundation, the Teammates for Kids Foundation and the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation. Millie Ragis, Dr. and Mrs. Richard Stone and Mr. and Mrs. Daniel W. Tandy all added generous gifts to their endowment funds to provide scholarships now and in the future. CLARKE was blessed by a number of longtime friends who gave the ultimate gift to deaf children through bequests. We will always be grateful to Helen Long, J. M. Dwyer, Ruth Proud and Joan Damon for the very special help they provided. Our thanks go to all the volunteers who helped produce CLARKE’s All-American Sports and Leisure Auction that raised over $55,000 for student scholarships. Our friends at Goldman Sachs hosted a delightful field day with our Clarke NYC children and staff. Families at Clarke Jacksonville organized a spectacular event at their 6th annual Gala and Auction, raising over $30,000 to help children develop their listening and spoken language skills. Hosts Ray and Susannah Wolford also opened their home for a festive holiday party to raise awareness and support for Clarke Jacksonville children. Thanks to a dedicated group of Holiday Card volunteers led by Carole and Len Lafleur, our holiday cards, which showcase student artwork, were packaged, sold and mailed to our friends around the world. While CLARKE is constantly developing and preparing for the future needs of children with hearing loss, we are thankful to all our friends for their interest, participation and support. With a family that

includes our Trustees, National Development Council and Advisory Committee members, alumni, families, staff and friends, CLARKE continues as the recognized leader in the field of auditory/oral education while

preparing children with hearing loss to live full and independent lives. It all begins with CLARKE because of the caring and compassion of all our friends. You have our heartfelt thanks.

Financial Report

J. GIPE

Preschool Teacher Garrett Adams works with Javier Hernandez.

The implementation of the Facilities Master Plan had a significant impact on finances, which enabled CLARKE to end fiscal year 2005 on a positive note with total net assets increasing by $1,616,271. This compared favorably to the prior year’s decrease of $9,362, and resulted in total combined net assets of $31,930,224, made up of $12,222,916 unrestricted; $5,637,098 temporarily restricted and $14,070,210 permanently restricted. Operating revenues and transfers (excluding investment gains) of $10,813,544 were offset by expenses and transfers of $11,247,007 (excluding depreciation) leaving a net operating deficit of $433,463, up 4.6%. The operating deficits in both the day and residential programs in Northampton prompted a process of petition to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for an increase in rates for next year. Tuition from the Northampton campus was $1,778,536, level with last year. Expansion of the schools in Boston, Jacksonville, New York and Philadelphia continued with tuition and fees increasing 40% to $2,113,113. Generous contributions and bequests utilized for operations on our main campus remained a large component of revenues and totaled $3,829,910. Contributions utilized for our East Coast schools were $1,547,234. All contributions covered about 48% of expenses and transfers compared to 56% last year. A draw formula of 4% was utilized from the endowment amounting to $393,000, which covered 3.5% of expenses and transfers. Other operating revenue sources of $1,151,751 were up 6%, due largely to an increase in investment income from the newly created Facilities Master Plan portfolio and the increase in income from outside trusts.

Labor remains the largest expense with salaries and benefits of $7,799,391 up 4.8%, for 69% of expenses. Spending for our Boston, Jacksonville, New York and Philadephia schools rose 3.4% to $3,350,935. Administrative expense to run the entire CLARKE organization was $1,281,074 or 11.4% of overall expenses, consistent with the prior year. Fundraising costs totaled $775,143 or 7% of total expenses. Net assets in the endowment increased to $13,329,829. The endowment portfolio had a total return of 9.5% for the year as compared to 17.8% and 3.4% for the preceding two years. For the fiscal year, $494,643 was invested in facility renovations and new equipment purchased in the various locations. Renovations occurred at our New York City facility, expanding the number of classrooms and therapy spaces and replacing the air conditioning system. Progress on the Facilities Master Plan continued with the sale of two properties and planning for the creation of our National Family Center. Planning also continues for the completion of a build out on the lower level at our Bryn Mawr location. The market value of the annuity portfolio ended at $737,954 with two new charitable gift annuities. The Caroline Yale Alumni Fund, held by Clarke School and voted at the recommendation of the Alumni Association as financial aid to college bound alumni, increased 7% and ended the year at a combined $240,090. We are grateful to our families and friends, Board of Trustees, alumni, teachers and staff who provided generous support, leadership and inspiration to CLARKE this year.
