FALL & WINTER HIGHLIGHTS
Sanford . Spring 2015
Fall & Winter Highlights Events In celebration of Middle School/Upper School Grandparents’ Day, more than 150 grandparents visited a sun-drenched Sanford campus on Thursday, October 23rd. Head of School Mark Anderson welcomed the grandparents, who visited classes with their grandchildren and were treated to musical performances on the quad and a display of student artwork in Stephen May Commons. Middle School grandparents enjoyed a performance of the 6th-grade band and attended the annual 5th-grade Wax Museum. After school hours, the relatives could choose to attend sports games and scrimmages all over campus.

On Thursday, October 23rd, Sanford’s Annual Fund committee hosted a reception for 60 of the school’s leading donors, as well as several of our committed volunteers, at Arunchala. After welcoming guests to his home, Head of School Mark Anderson thanked donors for their generosity and shared some of the many exciting things currently happening at Sanford. One hundred percent of Sanford board members, faculty, and staff donated to the 2013–2014 Annual Fund—and that goal has already been met for this year’s campaign. Seventy-eight percent of Sanford parents also generously donated. The 2013–2014 fund raised $446,940, a five percent increase over the previous year.
Catherine and Bob Kaser and Kyle DiPietro and Ted Dwyer were among the leadership donors and volunteers honored at the gathering.
