Note from Duncan: Copper Beech Society | |

I am pleased to announce that since our last issue, two alumni have informed us that they have included Forman in their estate plans. They join the 60 other alumni, past parents, and friends of the School who are members of the Copper Beech Society, our planned gift organization. We greatly appreciate their generosity and foresight, and we are busy planning events for this special group to attend. For example, Copper Beech Society members who live in the New York City metropolitan area received invitations to attend the Forman reception at Gallaghers Steakhouse on April 14th.
Please feel free to contact me at duncan.marshall@formanschool.org if you would like more information regarding planned giving options or the Copper Beech Society. I look forward to hearing from many of you and seeing you on campus in May at Alumni Weekend!
All the best,
Duncan Marshall ’67
Director of Stewardship and Planned Giving

Winterim
Students recently embarked on a two-week Winterim program where they discovered and developed their interests and talents. Courses were available both on and off campus. Students on campus learned new topics and skills, from making a short film to baking bread for those in need. Across the country, from Georgia to New Mexico to Hawaii, students learned about history, music, photography, sustainability, and more.
