FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

PERSERVERANCE

and Determination

Greetings!

W

e made it! After an uncertain start to the 2020–21 school year, I am proud to say we successfully completed the year with students on campus amid many COVID-19 restrictions, constant testing, modified sport competition, and plenty of patience. It was a challenging year that tested our resolve, but in true Avon spirit, we aspired and persevered with grit and determination. I could not be prouder of our excellent educators and dedicated staff who went the extra mile this year for our boys.

Aside from torrential rains, my first commencement as head of school was a success as we celebrated our seniors in the field house on May 30 with John Gardner offering words of wisdom as our 87th commencement speaker. The weather certainly did not deter the boys from walking through Alumni Gate to enjoy the traditional cigar on the quad to celebrate as a class. They deserved every moment of fun after a long year with COVID-19.

I am pleased to share that because of our generous community, we exceeded our fiscal-year goal and raised $3.6 million. It is only because of your steadfast support that we were able to modify the campus to meet COVID-19 protocols and can routinely test for COVID-19 to keep the community safe while continuing to provide top-notch facilities, increase financial aid, and support our faculty.

I hope to see many of you on campus this coming year now that we can safely have spectators for our sporting competition and our traditional school events again.

2020–2021 REPORT OF ANNUAL GIVING

Avon Old Farms seniors have not been strangers to struggle this year. We came to school in the shadow of the lost graduating class, a group of 100 of our closest friends who were denied the right to walk at graduation.

Arriving in a landscape similar to the one we left behind in the spring, many of us were concerned that we would be next. As neighboring schools resolved … to carry out online schooling for the 2021 school year, our doubts only heightened. But in the midst of the chaos, the senior class truly did something remarkable. Rather than succumb to the comfort of grief, the senior class accepted the uncertainty, the responsibility, and the meaningfulness that this year entailed and used it as an opportunity to become better leaders, better brothers, and better men. We reestablished the brotherhood of years past, integrating a group of fearful freshmen into the fold while reminding returning students what it truly means to be an Avonian.

Commencement

2021 A

lthough almost everyone expected the Avon Old Farms School 87th Commencement Exercises to happen in 2020, we all know what happened there.

Avon, like every other institution, was forced to pivot and recognize the Class of 2020 in a very nontraditional way. However, on Sunday, May 30, 2021, despite rain, wind, and cold temperatures, Avon Old Farms was delighted to host its 87th Commencement Exercises in person for 112 graduates surrounded by their faculty, families, and friends.

Head of School Jim Detora presided over his first commencement. John T. Gardner, head hockey coach and former associate head of school, delivered special remarks. It was also a first for Glenn Sieber P’17: although he had the distinguished privilege of handing his son Kevin his high school diploma in 2017, this was his first time presenting diplomas to students in his new role as chairman of the board.

With a final singing of “Men of Avon,” the Class of 2021 was led out of the Field House, across campus, through Alumni Gate, and finally into the Pope Quadrangle for a well-deserved celebration—traditional cigars included!

BE THERE WHEN HALL OF FAME COACH

Kevin Driscoll ’72 Takes the Field FOR AN ENCORE SEASON

A

von Old Farms has yet another reason to be excited for the upcoming 2021 football season: Hall of Famer Kevin Driscoll ’72 is the interim football head coach. Over his 28-year career as varsity coach, he secured numerous victories with a steady, inspirational coaching style, making him a beloved coach and mentor.

“I have personally worked with Coach Driscoll on the gridiron for many years and know that he will give our boys an incredible experience during the 2021 football season,” says Head of School Jim Detora. “Kevin will be joining our current coaching staff, many of whom he has either coached or coached with over the years.

I could not be more thrilled to enlist Kevin’s leadership, and I have the utmost confidence in him and our entire coaching staff to set the stage for another New England Championship run.”

We hope the Avon community will rally around Coach Driscoll and the 2021 varsity football team. Come out for a game or two and be sure to mark your calendar for Homecoming Weekend featuring a night game under the lights: November 6 at 6 p.m. on Ryan Field.

2020–2021 REPORT OF ANNUAL GIVING

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF INSTITUTIONAL ADVANCEMENT

THANK you

A

lthough the past year plus was riddled with uncertainty, one thing did remain certain: the unwavering support from members of the Avon Old Farms School community.

Avonians from around the globe stayed connected— and in ways unimagined just two years ago. Here are just two examples from the past year: • Hundreds of Avonians participated in virtual town hall–style meetings. Participants learned about updates from Mrs. Riddle’s campus on student life, enrollment, fundraising initiatives, and looking down the path as AOF moves forward.

• Panels of experts across a variety of professions and/or trades provided invaluable insights into their world during AOF’s premiere virtual networking series. The stories inspired and helped shape the decisions of young alumni, current upperclassmen, and others.

These new initiatives helped forge important connections with alumni, young and old, and enabled everyone to keep tabs on a place that means so much to so many.

Looking ahead, here are two important updates: • Reunion 2022: Next year’s reunion will take place June 3–5, 2022. Thirty classes will celebrate milestones, and many alumni have expressed interest in returning to campus, so this will be a reunion you won’t want to miss.

Planning is already underway, so please feel free to pass along any suggestions to make it even better.

• Fund for Avon: Recently, the school renamed the Annual Fund; it is now the Fund for Avon. What is the Fund for Avon? The fund provides comprehensive support to Avon Old Farms. The funds make it possible for us to provide boys from across the globe access to an exceptional academic program, retention of finest faculty, a premier arts curriculum, highly competitive sports and community service opportunities.

Everyone at AOF learned a lot this year—and the Institutional Advancement team will continue to adapt its practices as the world continues to evolve. I can say with confidence that many of our virtual methods of communication (those mentioned above and others) will become an important part of the way we stay connected.

Finally, please note that Avon Old Farms School will celebrate 100 years of educating young men in 2027. The planning is already underway for that incredible milestone.

The Institutional Advancement team thanks the entire community for its unwavering support. AOF would not be the best school for boys without it!

Seth Mendell ’52 47 Years of Consecutive Giving

WHAT HAS DRIVEN YOU TO CONTINUOUSLY GIVE TO AVON YEAR AFTER YEAR? For more than seven decades, I have been involved with Avon Old Farms School. From the very first time my father and I visited the campus for an interview with Headmaster Don Pierpont, the school spoke to my being. That year 1951–52, a post graduate year for me, I made many friends, both students and faculty, some lasting a lifetime. In 1959, I returned to campus as a member of the faculty. Frank Leavitt ’52 and I were the first Don Pierpont alumni to join the faculty following college and a deployment with the US Army as Cold War soldiers in Germany.

The next 30 years divide nicely into decades. First, I taught history, coached soccer and riflery, and performed the many other duties expected of a boarding school teacher. Then in the fall of 1969, I became Director of Alumni Affairs under Headmaster George Trautman, and 10 years later, I was given the title of Director of Development as well. During these

twenty years as an administrator, my teaching load was reduced which I disliked, but at the same time put me in touch with many hundreds of alumni from one end of the country to the other.

Avon had become my home. I married Alice Butler from West Hartford and we raised our two daughters on the campus.

Our entire life was the school: its students, fellow faculty and alumni in the setting of Mrs. Riddle’s creation of buildings, walkways, and vistas. After leaving the campus in 1990, I continued my association with Avon as a consultant with the Development Office and as an active member of the National Council until recently. It would never occur to me not to support the school that was my life’s work for so many years and a school that has educated so many boys to become fine men. In my mind’s eye, I still walk the walks, pass through the archways and doorways, and see the faces and hear the voices of countless students.

PERSONAL UPDATE: Following our departure from Avon in 1990, Alice and I lived in Mattapoisett, MA, for 23 years only a two-hour drive from Avon, making it easy to stay involved with the school.

While in Mattapoisett, I helped raise money for two museums and the local library. I also lectured on local history for the New Bedford Whaling Museum.

Here at Shell Point retirement community I continue to lecture/teach and my subject matter comes from two courses I taught at Avon Old Farms many years ago: Russian History and the World in the 20th Century.

Yes, the school has been a part of my life for seventy years and is still very much with me. Alice joins me in our continued support of the school.

GIVING SPOTLIGHT

MIKE FINNEGAN ’04

The Avonian // SUMMER 2021

Mike Finnegan ’04, Warden Class of 2004: ‘Fly the Banner’ Initiative Winner

THE CLASS OF 2004 HAD THE HIGHEST CLASS PARTICIPATION FOR THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR. WHY DID SO MANY MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 2004 GIVE TO AVON? Our contributions are our “thank you”—no matter the size, it’s our way to ensure that the place that played a foundational role in shaping each of us will continue to thrive.

The class of 2004 has always been a special group.

Members have a unique set of personalities and characteristics, and we achieved much while together at Avon.

Now, scattered across the globe, these classmates continue to rack up achievements in their individual pursuits.

The brotherhood—and all the encouragement and support that come with it—remains strong for the class of 2004, and we all know we have Avon to thank for that.”

PERSONAL UPDATE: Nicole and I have three boys, Carter (8), Jack (5), and Liam (3). We are currently living in London, UK, and, at some point, plan to return to the Philadelphia suburbs. Work brought us to London last year—I’m currently the Chief of Staff for Vanguard’s international business, which manages all of Vanguard’s businesses outside the U.S. Vanguard is one of the world’s largest investment management companies, managing $8T in global assets and serving more than 30 million investors worldwide.

Though our first year in London has involved lockdowns and travel restrictions, we’ve still enjoyed traveling throughout the UK and taking in the many events recently hosted there, such as the Euros and the Open. We are hoping to explore more of continental Europe as the world returns to normal!

2020–2021 REPORT OF ANNUAL GIVING

FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

RISING to the Times

Dear Members of the Avon Community,

T

his is my first letter as the new chairman of the board.

I would be remiss if I did not first begin by acknowledging how honored and privileged I am to serve as chairman. Avon Old Farms is a school for which I have tremendous love, respect, and admiration. I must also extend a sincere and heartfelt thank-you to the former chairman, Marty Cole, for his many years of service to Avon Old Farms School. Marty and I worked together for many years in our prior careers at Accenture. I have come to know him not only as a good man but also as a man dedicated and committed to the causes and institutions he supports. There is no better example of his dedication and commitment than Avon Old Farms School. Marty’s commitment of time and energy, as well as his philanthropic support of the school, is second to none. On behalf of the Avon Old Farms Board, administration, faculty, staff, students, parents, and alumni, I want to extend a deep thanks to Marty and his wife, Terri, for their unwavering support of Avon Old Farms School. Though I know they will continue to stay in touch, we wish Marty and Terri the very best in their future endeavors.

I have now been affiliated with Avon Old Farms for more than 15 years. After my career at Accenture, I taught mathematics at Avon Old Farms for 12 years. During that time, I also had the opportunity to serve as the school’s chief financial officer, director of alumni and development, mathematics department chairperson, and director of strategic planning. My youngest son, Kevin, was a 2017 graduate of the school. I have come to know the school and its profound and long-lasting impact on young boys very well. I was honored last year to be elected to the Board of Directors (I have worked with many board members on a personal basis for years given my past responsibilities). This

past April, I was elected chairman. I promise to try my very best to serve the school as effectively and honorably as Marty did.

Though the school had another very challenging year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, I think Jim Detora and his team have done a tremendous job of ensuring the health, safety, and welfare of our students and school community.

Jim and I have been colleagues and friends for many years.

I can think of no better person to have led us through the challenges COVID presented while concurrently starting to enable us for what I know will be a wonderfully successful future. Over the last two years, we have made substantial investments in school infrastructure and surroundings to keep our community safe and healthy. Moreover, we have gone to great lengths to ensure the current and future financial health and stability of the school. We used disciplined financial management to keep our expenses below our revenue. And much of that revenue was due to the generosity of alumni, parents, and friends such as yourself. Given the fact that each year tuition revenue covers only 75 percent of our approximately $27 million operating budget, we are forever grateful for your continued philanthropic support of Avon Old Farms. And I would humbly ask that you continue to keep Avon Old Farms as one of your top philanthropic priorities.

I know firsthand just how great an impact Avon Old Farms can have on young boys. Your continued support will allow us to provide the same positive impact on young boys for many years to come. Thanks so much for your help and contributions.

Aspirando et perseverando!
