OUR MISSION

4

One of the great nonprofit organizations in Nashville is PENCIL Foundation. Serving as its 2001-2002

Chairman of the Board gave me the opportunity to experience firsthand PENCIL’s successful endeavors

to enhance public education through community support and involvement. Working with other board

directors, Connie Williams, and the PENCIL staff has been most rewarding.

Early in the school year, we met with Dr. Pedro García, director of Metropolitan Nashville Public

Schools, to share PENCIL’s 20-year history and its commitment to linking the private sector with

public education. In light of the change in Metro schools administration this year, we wanted to

communicate PENCIL’s role as the bridge between schools and the community. We conveyed our

desire to continue a productive working relationship between PENCIL and the school system that will

grow in strength, effectiveness, and service to Nashville’s children.

I was honored to preside over this year’s 20th anniversary Spring Celebration — a very special

milestone for PENCIL Foundation. The event celebrated two decades of enhancing the quality of life

in Nashville and recognized hundreds of PENCIL partnerships and

volunteers. The Honorable Bill Purcell presented the second annual

Mayor’s Award for Outstanding School Partner to Creative Artists Agency,

Inc. for its outstanding partnership with Whitsitt Elementary School. The

celebration culminated with the presentation of the E. Bronson Ingram

Award to community leader and PENCIL board member Betsy Walkup

for her dedication to public education.

A major highlight of my tenure as chairman was overseeing PENCIL’s

strategic planning process. I commend the hard work and dedication of

the directors and staff who, under the expert guidance of Elaine Dickson

from the Center for Nonprofit Management, closely examined PENCIL’s

past, present, and future role in the community. We reviewed and

appraised carefully our mission, vision, and values. Among the results of

this process was the formulation of a renewed mission. It reads: “Linking

community resources with Nashville public schools to help young people achieve academic success

and prepare for life.” The foundation’s new acronym—Public Education Needs Community

Involvement & Leadership—reflects the important role the community plays in ensuring high-quality

public education.

Thanks to the benevolence of our PENCIL Partners, volunteers, and donors, I am firmly convinced

that PENCIL Foundation will continue to grow and strengthen its presence in the community. The

beneficiaries will be Nashville’s children, who will be tomorrow’s employees, consumers, and leaders.

Sincerely,

Clyde F. Ingalls

PENCIL FOUNDATION STRIVES TO :• Promote community involvement in

public education

• Nurture partnerships between schools

and the private sector

• Encourage academic achievement

• Provide a safety net for at-risk youth

• Promote career success for youth and

single parents receiving public assistance

• Support quality professional development

opportunities for educators

• Build positive relationships between

This year marked PENCIL Fo u n d a t i o n ’s 20th

a n n ive r s a r y, and we’re proud to have influenced

an entire generation of students. The students we

worked with in PENCIL’s early years are now

wa t ching their own school-aged children grow and

d e velop. The seeds we have planted continue to

g r ow and flourish, and those we plant today

p r ovide the foundation for future generations.

A strong public school system “now” is

essential to a healthy future for Nashville. A

strong public school system requires broad-based

support and involvement from the community,

including the private sector.

OVERVIEW

2001 -2002 HIGHLIGHTS• Recruited 51 new PENCIL Partners

(30 more than last year)

• Expanded Web site and created a

new monthly e-newsletter for partner

coordinators and volunteers

• Involved entire staff in visiting

PENCIL Partners to gather feedback

and suggestions for nurturing and

strengthening these partnerships

• Implemented a volunteer tracking system

in 71 schools and 20 ENCORE sites to

organizations, and faith communities who partner

with Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools. Pa r t n e r s

volunteer time and other resources to help students

a ch i e ve academically, develop life skills, and make a

successful transition from school to career.

280 PENCIL partnerships in Davidson County

serve 70,000 Nashville public school students with

thousands of volunteer hours every year. Each

partnership is unique because it reflects the

needs and interests of both the community and

school partners.

PENCIL PARTNERS

Pat Meusel from Sony/ATV Music Publishing sponsors the after school songwriters/guitar club. Pat

comes to Stokes each Tuesday and jams with our students who share his love of music. Sony has also

donated three very new and beautiful Epiphone guitars in support of this club. This is just one exam-

ple of Sony’s continuing dedication and consistent involvement with our students and school.

2001 -2002 HIG HLIG HTS• Piloted program in three MNPS aftercare

programs for middle school students who

need additional support in math

• Created pre- and post-program surveys

of students, covering math skills, aca-

demic interests, organizational skills and

study habits (Students who completed

both surveys made an average gain of

54 percent.)

• Developed a Math Partners page on

PENCIL’s Web site with lesson plans

and training tips for volunteers

• Contributed to the improvement of

Math Partners participants’ TCAP Math

Composite scores over last year. Students

made gains that exceeded the national

average by 2.8 normal curve equivalents

(NCEs) based on 2002 and 2001 TCAP

subtest scores. (0.0 is the national aver-

age and 2.0 is considered educationally

significant.) Students who participated in

Math Partners during the 2001-2002

school year and had prior math scores

below the national average made TCAP

Math Composite gains of 4.7 normal

curve equivalents. This is equivalent

to an increase of approximately 8

percentile points.

F UNDING Funding for 2001-2002 academic year was

p r ovided in part by BellSouth, Nortel

Networks, Dell, Aspect Communications,

Saint Thomas Hospital, Visteon Glass Plant,

The UPS Foundation, and U.S. Department

of Education–GEAR UP.

M ATH PARTNERS p r ovides tutorial assistance to

fifth- and sixth-grade students whose scores are

b e l ow the national norm in mathematics. The

p r o g ram pairs 331 students with 198 community

volunteers in 15 Nashville public schools. In addi-

tion to mathematics instruction, lessons demonstra t e

the importance of mathematics to further education

and future careers. During the months of October

through April, volunteers spend 45 minutes per week

p r oviding hands-on instruction in mathematics.

Math Partners is a wonderful idea…The students

who are involved in the program at Bailey Middle

School’s aftercare program enjoy the hands-on

activities that teach math concepts in a fun way.

One of their favorites was a geometry lesson in

which students worked in teams to use geometric

shapes to build a house of straws. I think Math

Partners is a great way to make learning fun and

help students remember key concepts by applying

them experientially.

to Reading Partners volunteers

• More than doubled volunteer hours over

last year for a total of 7,110 hours

• Assisted in the distribution of 125,000

books donated to students through

Creative Artists Agency, Inc. in collabora-

tion with First Book, RIF and Scholastic

Books

• Contributed to the improvement of

Reading Partners participants’ TCAP

Reading Composite scores over last

year. In a sample group a year-to-year

comparison showed student progress to

be significantly higher than the national

average, with a gain of 3.8 normal

curve equivalents (NCEs) compared to a

national average of 0.0. A gain of 2.0 is

considered “educationally significant.”

This is equivalent to an increase of

approximately 6 percentile points.

Students whose 2001 scores were

significantly below the national average

made even greater gains as a group

in 2002.

READING PARTNERS

Fernando came into my class straight fro m

M exico, wh e re he had been taught spora d i c a l ly in

a one-room school. When he came to me, he

could read neither Spanish nor English, and he did

not know how to add or subtract basic facts to 10.

I looked at this beautiful boy and wo n d e red how I

would help him be successful in this new culture

with high academic and social expectations wh e n

he could not understand anything I said…It was an

a n swer to my prayer when, through PENCIL

Foundation, two young people vo l u n t e e red to

tutor Fernando. To my delight, one was fluent in

Spanish. For seve ral months, these young people

h ave taken their time to make a difference in

Fe r n a n d o ’s life. What a gift they have given to this

child! He knows his alphabet, reads Level I books,

adds and subtracts through 20. A smile graces his

face most of the time, and he is bubbling with

e n e r gy and enthusiasm for learning.

Dear Ms. Johnston,

I was among the many honored at the Student

Writers Showcase Awards Banquet. I just wanted

to write you a quick note to thank you for your

involvement in the contest. I cannot express to

you how much it means to me to have my writing

recognized.

I also want to thank you for the very existence

of writers showcase. I think that it is a very impor-

tant and effective means of encouraging the work

of young writers. I know that throughout junior

high and high school I’ve always hoped to win an

award in the contest, and now that I have I feel a

certain inspiration as a result.

Thank you so much for the encouragement

the Student Writers Showcase bestows upon

young writers, and for the inspiration it stirs.

Sincerely,

I am really grateful to the Jobs for Tennessee

Graduates program for getting me on the right

path and helping me stay on it by completing my

GED, finding a job with the Levi’s retail store, and

starting classes at Tennessee State University. The

people from JTG were great about checking in

with me to see how I was doing, and they gave me

the support I needed to keep working at it. I was

promoted to manager after three weeks on the

job, and I hope to train for track and field at TSU.

Things are really looking up for me, and I want to

thank JTG for helping me get to this point.

2001 -2002 HIGHLIGHTS• Provided 26 bright, inquisitive students

a series of six hands-on learning sessions

led by 31 medical professionals

• Received high marks on a survey of Saint

Thomas Science Scholars upon comple-

tion of the program that included positive

comments about the choice of topics and

hands-on aspect of the sessions, the

impact of the program on their planned

career choices and opportunities to get

to know students from other area high

schools

• Met with Saint Thomas coordinators to

discuss plans, topics, and logistics for the

following year’s sessions

learning sessions conducted by staff at the hospital.

Sessions include department tours, lectures, and

hands-on activities. Topics of study are the brain,

lungs, heart, immune system, cancer, and the mus-

culoskeletal system. Twenty-six students from 10

participating high schools participated in the

program this year.

I have always had a strong interest in science, and

my mother, sister and brother are all working in

h e a l t h c a re. So, natura l ly, I’ve considered the pos-

sibility of pursuing a medical career my s e l f .

Participating in Saint Thomas Science Scholars has

been an incredible experience for me, giving me

an inside glimpse of the world of medicine. One

thing that impressed me the most was how com-

plicated surgery is, and all the different people

who are in the room with different roles. And eve n

though doctors do pretty much the same thing

eve ry day, each case is different and re q u i res a

unique plan of care. Being in Saint Thomas Science

S cholars is an experience I will never forget.

me with life-changing experiences, both as a

teacher and then as a principal. Through the pro-

gram, I have participated in some outstanding,

quality training programs across the country. The

training experiences provided have challenged me

to further develop the leadership skills and attrib-

utes I need to be an effective principal. I am grate-

ful, both personally and professionally, for the

training I have received because of the Frist

Foundation Educator Awards.

It did take some adjusting —

going from food stamps to buy-

shopping once a week rather

than once a month…going from

deciding which bill to pay with

$365 a month to paying all of

the bills with one paycheck…

having a savings account that
