A Message from the Head of School
Dear Out-of-Door Community,
At the heart of any outstanding school are great families, great students and a great faculty. At The
Out-of-Door Academy we are blessed with all three of these constituencies plus a commitment
from the entire Out-of-Door family to make a difference in the lives of the children we serve each
and every day. The 2012-13 school year was a year of amazing progress and accomplishment for
our school. At the top of the list of achievements is the inspiring generosity of a community who
believes in our mission and the importance of providing the best possible education for the next
generation. It is important to acknowledge that nothing that The Out-of-Door Academy accomplished in the past year would have been possible without your philanthropic support and generosity. We are thankful, and grateful, for all that you do to continue to propel our school forward.
These are exciting times in the eighty-nine year history of The Out-of-Door Academy. The past
year was certainly a year to remember. In August, for the third consecutive year, we opened the
doors with our largest PK-12 enrollment ever. In the admissions office, we set all-time records
for tours, applications and the number of new students to enroll at Out-of-Door. Our students
continued to amaze us with their varied accomplishments including a Google International Science
Fair Champion, the largest number of ODA students with perfect SAT scores in school history, an
unprecedented Advanced Placement Exam passing rate of 95%, and a record number of service
hours performed by our PK-12 student body, to name just a few. In June, we celebrated the Commencement of the Class of 2013, whose
academic promise and talents were recognized by many colleges and universities across the nation in the form of over $158,000 in merit
based scholarships per graduate.
Thanks to the inspiring efforts of the entire ODA family, our school continues to grow, strengthen and evolve amidst a rapidly changing,
and highly competitive, educational landscape. Through record level giving to the Annual Fund, we are able to provide exceptional professional development opportunities for our faculty including 100% tuition reimbursement towards their pursuit of graduate degrees as well as
state of the art technology which fosters innovative and creative teaching to better prepare our students for college and the complexities of
life and work in the 21st Century.
I am pleased to report that due to the incredible generosity of the Out-of-Door family our capital campaign, “Preserving Our Past & Expanding Our Future” exceeded its $15 Million goal in May of 2013. Last summer alone, capital giving funded: a total renovation of the
three story building, new visual and performing arts studios, and an outdoor amphitheater on Siesta Key, as well as a much needed expansion to our athletic facilities on the Uihlein Campus including a new locker room building and athletic pavilion. Inspired by our success,
humbled by the philanthropy of our supporters, and driven by the opportunity to provide additional, transformative learning opportunities
for our students, we are expanding our goal and will work tirelessly to achieve it in the months ahead.
One of the intangible and powerful qualities that The Out-of-Door Academy possesses is a palpable sense that even though it is a great
institution with a storied past, it constantly strives to become better. This spirit, coupled with strategic thinking and disciplined planning,
will ensure that the best days for our school are yet to come. Thank you for your continued support and for all that you do to make The
Out-of-Door Academy such a unique and dynamic community.
Sincerely,
David V. Mahler
Head of School
2 The Banyan
Letter from the Chairman of the Board of Trustees
The 2012-2013 school year was one of continued growth at The Out-of-Door Academy. Our school year
started with record enrollment and tremendous progress was seen in each core discipline: academics, the arts
and athletics. In particular, this year’s senior class received some of the highest standardized test scores in the
history of the school and were accepted to many prestigious colleges and universities throughout the country.
Congratulations to the Class of 2013!
Your support of the school has been tremendous and I am pleased to report that, in May, we exceeded our capital
campaign goal of $15 million in the quiet phase of this campaign. We are grateful, and humbled, by the inspiring
philanthropy of all of the families who have given selflessly to enhance our PreK-12 programs and to help us
better fulfill our mission. The Board of Trustees remains committed to investing in Out-of-Door’s future and
pending continued successful fundraising and broader participation, we hope to break ground on a new academic
facility on the Uihlein Campus in the coming year.
Recent renovations include an entirely renovated the three-story building on Siesta Key with beautiful, new, state-of-the art classrooms, a new
STEM Lab, and an activity center to promote more group based projects and collaborative learning opportunities. Also added are beautiful new
visual arts, orchestra and choral music rooms along with the new crown jewel of the Siesta Key campus, The Kozel Family Amphitheater, which
provides a spectacular performance venue for our Lower School students and connects our current program with the original “Out-of-Door”
vision of our founders. At the Uihlein Campus, a growing enrollment, the migration of 6th grade and increased participation in our athletic
program has put stress on our athletic infrastructure. Due to your generosity, we renovated our existing locker rooms for use by our middle school
students, added an additional varsity locker room for our female student-athletes, a new facility for our athletic trainer and a new outdoor athletic
pavilion mirroring the Dart Family Pavilion on Siesta Key. Also, thanks to a gift from the Grain Family, we were able to construct the boy’s
varsity locker room in the fall of 2013. All of these improvements would not be possible without the incredible generosity of the Out-of-Door
community.
As the Out-of-Door family continues to grow, your commitment and philanthropic support has been truly remarkable. The Annual Fund set
another record with total contributions of $705,000. As you know, tuition only covers about 90% of the cost of educating our children. The
remainder has to be raised through contributions. Our yearly fundraiser, the Banyan Bash, once again complemented the Annual Fund nicely, with
excellent participation and resources.
Our Parent Association has also continued to grow. Many events, including artistic performances, sporting events, Thunder Fun Day, Turkey
Bowl, and many more would not be possible without the countless volunteer hours from our parents. By volunteering, you not only enrich our
students’ lives, but you also make our community stronger, and I thank you.
This school year concludes my term as Board Chair for The Out-of-Door Academy. I am humbled to have led such a dedicated and committed
group of Trustees over the last couple of years. The leadership of the Board is in great hands with Mitzie Henson as incoming Board Chair. The
future of Out-of-Door is bright and your support is vital in order for us to fulfill our mission. Your commitment, both in time and resources, has
allowed our school to flourish this past year. Please join me as we celebrate our successes, but also pledge to continue to work diligently to make
our school even better.
Thank you for all that you do for Out-of-Door.
Sincerely,
Mike vonWaldner
Chairman of the Board
Letter from the Associate Head of School for Advancement
Looking back on the 2012-2013 school year, I am in awe of the tremendous philanthropic support shown by
The Out-of-Door Academy community. Through our Capital Campaign and annual fundraising efforts, we
raised over $2.2 million dollars in support of the mission of Out-of-Door.
This successful year of fundraising was highlighted by the completion of our $15 million dollar Capital
Campaign, “Preserving Our Past, Expanding Our Future”. This phase of the campaign funded improvements
to both campuses and we are extremely grateful to the charter donors who generously gave in order to make
this possible. We are excited to share with you some of the future plans for additional improvements in the
coming year!
The year began with a Ribbon Cutting of our Lower School Playground, which was made possible by a
generous donation from Ashley Kozel. What better way to start the school year for PreK – 5th grade students,
than by playing on the playground for the first day of school? Later in the year, Ms. Kozel, along with Lexie
’21 and Gabby ’24, cut the ribbon on our new Lower School Wellness Center. Thank you to the Kozel Family for their tremendous generosity.
Our Annual Fund, which was led by co-chairs Amy Sussman, Linda Ross and Teena Humphrey, raised a record $705,000, up from a previous
high of $615,000 from the previous year, while yielding an 80% parent participation rate for the third year in a row. Thank you to all of the donors
who participated in making this a fantastic year for our Annual Fund campaign!
“Innovation” was the key word for this year’s Banyan Bash. We invited guests to leave their black ties at home and join us for a journey “back
to our roots” on the Siesta Key campus. The event featured several food vendors from some of the finest restaurants in Sarasota, a half-court
basketball shot for free tuition, music, mobile bidding, a truncated live auction and a cocktail party atmosphere, while raising over $260,000 for
Out-of-Door. We were pleased to be named, “Best Reinvented Event” by Scene Magazine.
None of this would have been possible if not for the efforts of our tremendous volunteer base. A big thank you to Advancement Committee
Chair, Mike vonWaldner; Parent Association President Val Leatherwood; Arts Guild Chair Suzanne Munroe; Thunder Athletic Club Chair, Teena
Humphrey, and the aforementioned Annual Fund co-chairs, Amy Sussman, Linda Ross and Teena Humphrey. Thank you to the Advancement
Team, Shannon Drosky, Lauren Hersh, Julie Fineberg, and Virgene Linse. I appreciate all that you do each day for Out-of-Door!
In conclusion, I want to thank each and every one of you who are listed in this report. Your commitment to Out-of-Door is inspiring and our
students, faculty and staff are grateful for all that you do. Thank you for all that you do to make Out-of-Door a special place for all of our students.
Best regards,
Dennis Chapman
Associate Head of School for Advancement

After completing his MA degree in Business Administration in 1995, Florian began
his career as a strategic business consultant while completing his doctor‘s degree
(equivalent to PhD) in Strategic Management and acting as Assistant Professor at
the Ludwig-Maximilian’s University in Munich, Germany.
In 1998, Florian founded Pepper Technologies AG in Munich. The company is
focused on Business Process Outsourcing in the field of Stakeholder Relationship
Management. In the period from 1998 to 2004, the number of employees increased
to 300 with locations in Munich, London, Chicago, Singapore and Melbourne.
After selling the company to publicly listed Computershare Group (ASX: CPU),
Florian continued working as Group Managing Director for Germany, Austria and
Switzerland until early 2007.
The strive for a new entrepreneurial challenge led Florian to co-found Career Partner Group in June 2007.
Career Partner GmbH, headquartered in Munich, Germany, is a leading integrated provider of lifelong
learning solutions in the German higher education market. With approximately 4,000 students enrolled
in 30 Bachelor and Master-programs and over 15,000 participants each year in executive training, the

Schuetz Family joined The Out-of-Door Academy community in the Fall of 2010 with Daniel entering 4th
grade and Nino starting his ODA career in Pre-K. While the original plan was to stay in Sarasota for one
year, the experiences at Out-of-Door and in Sarasota led to the decision to stay.

Annual Fund 2012-2013
OVER $700,000 RAISED!
Thank you to the many generous Annual Fund donors who helped The Outof-Door Academy reach a RECORD-BREAKING ANNUAL FUND raising
over $700,000 in 2012-2013. The Out-of-Door Academy’s Annual Fund strengthens and sustains
the extraordinary program that defines an Out-of-Door education. Each year, the school relies on contributions to provide critical support to our operating budget above and beyond tuition. These gifts have an immediate and direct benefit to each student
and faculty member, as well as to the quality and range of all school programs.
The Annual Fund is the single most important way that you can give to the school. Every year the Annual Fund makes transformational
Out-of-Door moments possible for our students. Hundreds of loyal Out-of-Door parents, parents of alumni, grandparents, alumni, and
friends contribute to the Annual Fund each year, helping meet the school’s ongoing need for flexible, unrestricted income to support our
academic mission. As unrestricted gifts, these contributions are used by The Out-of-Door Academy on a daily basis where the needs and
opportunities are greatest.
Last year alone, our Annual Fund donors provided more than $700,000 in vital support that helped the school:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Attract and maintain an excellent faculty in each division
Provide our students with the most up-to-date technology
Help maintain and improve the physical plant of our school
Enhance the curriculum with additional electives, including Robotics and Statistics
Strengthen our athletic and arts programs
Added technology infrastructure and equipment including three HD video cameras for the Upper school, Eight Mimio Active
Board Projection Systems with document cameras for the SIesta Key classrooms, and six Apple TVs for classroom use at the
Uihlein Campus.
Thank you for making this a successful campaign.

Thunder Athletic Club
The Thunder Athletic Club (TAC) is a group of volunteer parents and friends who support Out-of-Door
athletics, physical education, and faculty/staff wellness through volunteer and fundraising projects.
Currently, The Out-of-Door Academy fields 35 Middle and Upper School teams in 13 sports. Since the
varsity athletic program’s inception in 1996, Thunder teams have won an impressive 20 District and
Regional championships, in addition to 60 district, 20 regional, and 8 state individual championships.
The volunteer support of TAC has been instrumental in this success, and as participation increases so
do financial and volunteer athletic needs. TAC raises funds through the sale of annual memberships,
season passes, Thunder merchandise, concession revenue, as well as hosting the annual Thunder Golf
Tournament. In addition to financial support, TAC provides volunteer assistance for various athletic
events: helping with ticket sales, scorekeeping, game announcing, and more. TAC also sponsors the ‘Team Parent Program’ in which parents volunteer
to assist the coaches with such duties as organizing ticket takers at games, planning pregame meals and snacks for the teams, sending weekly email
updates to parents, and hosting the end-of-season team party.
During the 2012-2013 school year, TAC raised $31,926 and was able to help sponsor the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Record Boards
Mosquito Nix System for Football Stadium

Huene in honor of her 30 years of service.
An anonymous donor made a generous gift
early to the “Preserving Our Past, Expanding Our Future” Capital Campaign to name
the library in Mrs. Huene’s honor upon her
retirement. The refurbishing project on the
library was the first construction project in
the revitalization of the Siesta Key Campus
in 2008 (?). The unveiling and naming was
a long-held surprise to all who attended the
event.
“Her love for children
and literature has
inspired countless
numbers of ODA
students to love
reading and learning.”
David Mahler
In 1981, Huene moved to Sarasota with
her husband Skip who worked as a drudge
engineer at the time. Her husband remembers
helping Glendy by cooking up 40 dozen eggs
for Dr. Seuss’s Birthday when she reads Green
Eggs & Ham to children.
Her career began when a neighbor simply mentioned (back in 1983,) that the librarian at The
Out-of-Door Academy was moving and she
should inquire about a job. One thing is certain,

Much more than just the faces of the students has changed, one of

Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies
The Out-of-Door Academy Lower School celebrated new playground equipment on the
Siesta Key Campus on the first day of school of the 2012-2013 school year. Out-of-Door
parent Ashley Kozel and her children Lexie ‘21 and Gabby ‘24 cut the ribbon to the new
equipment on the morning of Wednesday, August 22, 2012 to a large and very excited crowd
of parents, students, and faculty. On behalf of the entire Out-of-Door community, thank you
to the Kozel family for your generous donation. It will be enjoyed by countless students for
many years to come.
On January 11, 2013, The Out-of-Door Academy
officially opened the doors to the new Lower
School Wellness Center at the Ribbon Cutting
Ceremony. The new 1,250 square foot facility
offers a gym that contains cardio machines and
weights, girls and boys locker room facilities,
and a coaches’ office. Head of School David
Mahler, members of the Board of Trustees,
faculty, and the Lower School student body
gathered to personally thank Ashley Kozel for
her generous gift on behalf of her daughters,
Out-of-Door students, Lexie '21 and Gabby ‘24.
While academic excellence has always been at the forefront of Out-of-Door's mission, teaching young people how to lead active and healthy lives is equally important. A comprehensive Wellness Program was established in 2009 for our students,
faculty and staff, and parents. The Wellness Program’s mission is to provide our
entire school community with current, research-based information, extensive programming, and resources in an effort to promote good, healthy lifestyle choices on a
variety of topics, including fitness, nutrition, sleep, stress management, and building
healthy relationships. The Lower School Wellness Center is another great resource to
meet these needs.

BANYAN BASH 2013
Over 425 guests descended upon the Siesta Key campus on Saturday, March 9, 2013 for Banyan Bash
2013. The theme of going “Back to Our Roots” was pervasive throughout the evening as those in
attendance experienced a unique mixture of tradition combined with innovation. Guests enjoyed the
wonderful ambiance of the historic Lower School campus, which was infused with mobile bidding on
their personal devices and a live webcast of the evening’s festivities.
Upon arrival, attendees were enthralled by the picturesque Banyan Tree, which was illuminated with
thousands of lights. From there, guests made their way onto the athletic field, which was transformed with
streetlights and cafe’ style seating. Supporters then traversed into the Dart Pavilion, which was beautifully
lit; to try a half-court shot for free tuition, as well as to generously bid during the live and silent auction.
Guests were treated to some of the finest cuisine in Sarasota from our generous sponsors of the event
underneath the stars on a gorgeous evening.
The event was a great success raising over $250,000 in support of Out-of-Door’s mission of academics,
the arts, and athletics. The money raised through Banyan Bash goes to support faculty professional
development and provides the necessary resources for facility enhancements. A portion of the proceeds
goes into our endowment, which is the financial foundation for Out-of-Door.
