THE CLASS OF 2017 GIVES BACK
The Class of 2017 wrapped up the Senior Gift to the Annual Fund on March 10, achieving 95% student participation! This four-week campaign was led by the Senior Class Gift Committee and focused on the Annual Fund's impact on students and teachers. Seniors were asked to donate $5, but we celebrated all gifts. In honor of the campaign's success, the Office of Philanthropy and Engagement treated the class to lunch catered by Boston Burger Co.
Thank you to members of the Senior Class Gift Committee: Jordan Alloway, Vida Bailey, Justin Calka, Jerome Edwards, Will Ferguson, Will French, Seth Isaacson, Sam Mills, Phoebe Petryk, Jess Sidell, and Alex Skipitaris.
