Dear parents, alumni and friends of Seattle Prep,

we are breaking ground on our new building this June!

Our Board of Trustees gathered on February 12th to decide if we should

proceed with the project this summer or wait another year to begin

construction. We decided to go forward due to the following:

1. The most responsible approach to the seismic concerns associated with

Adelphia is to resolve the problem as soon as feasible. Also, because

the new building created through the Peyton renovation/addition will

transform the learning environment for Prep students, we saw little reason

to delay either of these important goals. The favorable loan agreement

we are entering into with Chase Bank makes financing $10 million of the

project an excellent financial decision for Prep in the long run. The low

interest rate and extended term make this a responsible path for us.

2. Construction costs are rising and every indication is that they will

continue to rise. The cost savings we could achieve now would not likely

last into 2014. Money saved now is money we would not need to raise later.

3. Finally, the support of the Prep community has been very encouraging

thus far. We have raised $10.9 million in pledges, and of this amount, $9.5

million is designated for the building project. The goal we are trying to

raise is $15 million. When we reach the $13.5 million mark we will receive

another $1.5 million cash gift from the Norcliffe Foundation. (That would

bring the total gift from this outstanding foundation to $3 million!)

Our task now is to close the gap between $10.9 and $13.5 million. We have

phased the remaining $2.2 million over the course of the next 18 months

(March 2013 through the completion of construction in August 2014). Our next

benchmark is $1.1 million by this June. We know we can do this because of

the generosity of the Prep community. The Prep community understands how

essential this project is to our present and to our future. I firmly believe we

will all do our best to get this done!

Our terrific campaign staff and volunteers will now work even harder to

get the word out to the Prep community. We need to reach that $1.1 million

benchmark in June and we will together. Thank you to all who have brought us

here through your generous support.

The dedication of Seattle Prep’s faculty and staff is evident everywhere you look. They are in the classroom, coaching after

school, leading retreats, working in the offices and making sure our facilities meet the needs of our students. They do it

because they believe in the mission of Seattle Prep to educate our students to be men and women for others.

The faculty and staff campaign committee, headed by Ron Zipse, Kathy Krueger and Brian Elsner ’97, reached out to their

colleagues for support of Building Our Future. This group of dedicated professionals has stepped forward and raised more

than $375,000.00 with 99% participating to date. This is a wonderful demonstration of the shared commitment our entire

community has in Building Our Future: The Campaign for Seattle Prep. Please thank our faculty and staff for their generosity the

next time you see them.

Patty and scott meden

Patty and Scott Meden have supported Building Our Future: The Campaign for

Seattle Prep on many levels. They made an initial gift to the building project

last spring, then, after reflecting on the importance of the project, they

decided to make a second gift to the campaign. In addition, they chaired

and supported the efforts to establish the Class of 2013 Endowment in

honor of their son, Alec ’13, and all his classmates. When asked why

Seattle Prep is a philanthropic priority to them, they replied, “Prep is such

a special place, helping students reach for their dreams and live a life full

of service and opportunities. Prep has a rich Jesuit tradition that focuses

on community and nurtures social and spiritual development along

with academics. It is an environment where kids are kind, loving and

respectful. This plays out in many ways including school spirit, the range

of sports and activities available and the inclusive atmosphere.”

The Medens’ hope is that Prep is able to continue to provide

students the opportunity for a quality education in a spiritual

community environment for years to come. To do this, Patty and

Scott firmly believe that Prep needs a state-of-the-art facility:

“The current campaign to support capital improvements will make

this possible. With the exciting campus improvements, Seattle

Prep will take educational, spiritual and individual growth to the

next level so that students will find their high school experience to

be successful and fulfilling.”

Both Patty and Scott feel fortunate that their son, Alec ’13, has

been able to experience all that Prep has to offer. When asked

what they will remember most about Prep, they reply, “Watching

our son learn, grow and stretch his boundaries. Seeing him

develop the capabilities that will help him to succeed, not just in

college, but in life. Realizing that Alec woke up every day excited to

go to school and had a happy, successful high school experience.”

They believe that any child who has the desire and ability should be

afforded the same opportunity as Alec ’13. The Class of 2013 Endowment is

especially important to the Medens because they feel that each class needs

to do its part and keep the possibility of a Prep education accessible for all

future Panthers. “We know the need for tuition assistance will continue to

grow. By supporting the Class of 2013 Endowment we show our kids that,

as members of this community, it’s important to get involved and support

those who will come after us.”

“Education is such an

important priority. We

feel like an investment in

Prep is an investment in

the future.”

navone Family giFt

The family of Patricia & James Navone ’54 has a rich legacy and tradition at Seattle Prep. Jim is a graduate of the class of ’54

and Pat served on the Board of Trustees from 1980 - 86. Each of their five children (Jim ’77 MRC, Janet Eckmann ’79, Carol

Navone-Bonnie ’80, Theresa Roberts ’83 and Jeannine Christofilis ’90) graduated from Prep and today they have seven

grandchildren who have graduated or are currently attending Seattle Prep. The family has come together with a significant

gift to name the Great Room the Patricia & James Navone ’54 Great Room. This new space, located on the top floor of

Peyton Hall, will help foster the sense of community that Prep is well known for and will be a place for students, faculty,

alumni and parents to gather in fellowship. We are grateful for the Navone family and their support of Building Our Future:

The Campaign for Seattle Prep.
