Dear Parents, Alumni, and Friends of Dwight,

On behalf of The Dwight School Founda-

tion’s Board of Trustees, thank you for giving

your time, energy, and resources to sus-

tain cutting-edge education at Dwight School.

Thanks to your generosity, the Foundation awarded over

$1.77 million in financial aid, enabling more gifted and

talented students to receive a world-class Dwight education

in 2018-19 than in any previous year. The Foundation also

funded 162 professional development grants and 61 Frontier

Teacher grants, so that faculty could bring the latest teaching

and innovation strategies into the classroom to benefit

all students. Additionally, students pursuing their entrepre-

neurial dreams in Spark Tank received feedback, mentorship,

and innovation grants, including four who were awarded

scholarships for reaching the launch stage.

We had much to celebrate this year, and I want to thank all

of the Committee Chairs and volunteers who worked tire-

lessly to spearhead our fundraising initiatives and to make

events like our Spring Benefit a success.

Our community, most especially our children, are fortunate

that Dwight is such a special place where every student’s

spark of genius shines so brightly. With Chancellor Stephen

Spahn, Vice Chancellor Blake Spahn, and Head of School

Dianne Drew leading the way, their futures promise to be

even brighter.

Thank you again for your continued support.

Warmly,

Susan Kessler (Stephen ’10, William ’14)

Board Chair, The Dwight School Foundation

Dear Parents, Alumni, and Friends of Dwight,

On behalf of our students and faculty — the beneficiaries of your generosity — we thank you and The Dwight School Foundation for supporting Dwight’s long-standing mission of igniting the spark of genius in every child.

The 2018-19 year was record-breaking in the amount of student financial aid awarded. With students at the core of everything we do, we are grateful to the Foundation and donors for enabling gifted and talented students across campus to take intellectual risks and to follow their hearts.

The Foundation's commitment to funding faculty professional development and Frontier Teacher training grants enhance our teachers' abilities to educate every graduate as a skilled transforma-tional thinking. Our ability to educate every graduate as a skilled transformational thinker is greatly enhanced by the Foundation’s commitment to funding faculty professional development and Frontier Teacher training grants. Thanks to this support, more teachers this year acquired the skills and techniques that entrepreneurs and start-ups employ and shared them with students.

Spark Tank continued its trajectory, drawing more participants than ever who developed their passion projects in our incubator. With the assistance of Foundation guidance and innovation grants, students made great progress, including four who achieved market launch. Founded in 2015, Spark Tank continues to allow Dwight students to distinguish themselves amongst other independent school graduates; more importantly, it enables our students to go wherever their ingenuity takes them.

We thank the Foundation and all of you for your generous, abiding commitment to our students and community.

Warm regards,

Stephen Spahn Blake Spahn Dianne DrewChancellor Vice Chancellor Head of School

With Dwight School’s investment in new and renovated spaces, including the exciting addition of 21 West 88th Street, The Dwight School Foundation has partnered with the School to support initiatives that will advance learning through the Spark 21 Campaign for Dwight.

With a goal to usher in a new educational era at Dwight, the Spark 21 Campaign continues to invest in Dwight students, faculty, and programs; and funded grants in the following five areas this past year:

Spark 21 Campaign - Capital Giving

We are deeply indebted to the following families for their generous gifts to the Spark 21 Campaign:David and Patricia AlmeidaElizabeth Callaway and Robert CareyThe Fribourg Family FoundationMichael KalnickLeonard A. Lauder and William P. LauderDave and Jessica LindseyAndrew and Annette Alvarez PizzoJulie and Nick Stratopoulos

State-of-the-Art Equipment

The Foundation created new opportunities for students to excel by purchasing a variety of new and innovative musical instruments, as well as several pieces of tech equipment to further advance the creation of virtual-reality projects.

The Foundation continued to support this innovative in-house program focused on skill-building and college test preparation to help students achieve high levels of success on the ACT and SAT exams, and to prepare for their educational futures.

A-List Prep

Thanks to funds given to the Spark 21 Campaign, the Foundation was able to award additional financial aid to talented students in the 2018-19 academic year, and is poised to award an even greater amount in 2019-20.

Financial Aid

This professional development initiative ─ equipping faculty with the tools and frameworks used by start-ups and entrepreneurs so they can teach students the same skills and prepare them for success ─ continued to expand in its second year, with the Foundation awarding 61 grants to 49 teachers.

Frontier Teacher Training

Experts-in- Residence

Through Foundation funding, over the course of the year, several educational professionals visited the School and shared their insights and expertise with our faculty, who then integrated this expert information into their work with students in the classroom.

We Had a Ball at the 2019 Spring Benefit!

More than 400 members of the Dwight community gathered for the 2019 Spring Benefit in the dazzling Ziegfeld Ballroom in midtown Manhattan in support of The Dwight School Foundation. The theme of this year’s event — “The Future Is Now” — celebrated Dwight’s innovative approach to preparing students to be the next generation of global leaders, innovators, and visionaries.

The festive evening, which included cocktails, dinner, dancing, a fabulous auction, and a live fundraising appeal, raised critical funds for student financial aid, faculty professional development, and Spark Tank innovation grants.

We heard from Chris Beddows, former Associate Head of Lower School in New York who is now the Head of Upper School in London, about his passion for the IB and what makes a Dwight world-class education special. Three students also took to the stage: Isolde Hatgis-Kessell ’20 and Marcello Massone ’19 shared their unique journeys at Dwight and how our school ignited their sparks of genius; and Kai Kelly ’20 sang a beautiful rendition of “The Greatest Love of All.”

Thank you to our Benefit Co-Chairs Darly Corniel and Louise Tonkin and the Committee — along with our donors, guests, and volunteers — for joining us and for your generosity!
