Message from ADVANCEMENT

Dear Friends,

It is a joy to lead Advancement on behalf of Sidwell Friends. I am thankful for the opportunity to work with a diverse community of alumni, current parents, parents of alumni, grandparents, and friends who are united in our shared vision for Together We Shine.

This community has demonstrated exceptional generosity over the course of the Together We Shine campaign. Together, we have begun the process of campus reunification and realizing the dream of Thomas Sidwell to have students of all ages learning with and from each other. Together, we have established more than 30 new endowed funds, which provide support for student financial aid and faculty salaries. This effort has been in partnership with many volunteers, including more than 100 campaign committee members, who are key to our success.

Your generosity makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our community for generations to come.

In friendship and with gratitude,

Tara Arras
Assistant Head of School for Advancement
