2020-21 Wellington Annual Fund
Your Giving in Action.
Dear friends,
Each year, the Wellington Annual Fund directly supports the people and programs that make our community such an extraordinary place to learn, teach, and grow.
During the 2020-21 school year, it enabled the school to pivot and innovate like never before to serve our community on campus and at home.
Your contribution to the Wellington Annual Fund helps power our commitment to support students in their pursuit of purpose and potential for tomorrow's world. And for that, we are truly grateful.
Sincerely,
Jeff Terwin, Head of School
Safety
How do we carry out our community-centric vision for early childhood classrooms while maintaining safe, socially distant learning environments? With time, creativity, and support from the Annual Fund, teachers rose to the challenge. Large group spaces became imaginative individual work centers, personalized caddies replaced communal supplies, and clear classroom partitions gave a large group community feel, even with distancing in place.

During a year when quality connections weren’t always a given, Wellington teachers leaned in to create them across divisions. First grade fascination with bees was a perfect fit for the Upper School Apiary Club, and the two groups collaborated to create an interactive outdoor learning experience that proved enriching for both the lower school learners and upper school experts.

Black heritage, achievement, and rampant joy brought Wellington’s first annual Celebration of Black Voices to life. Powered by direct support from the Annual Fund, teachers across all divisions centered joy and sought to expand the focus from the historical to modern-day examples of Black voices found in the Wellington community.
