ADVANCEMENT PERSPECTIVE | Sharon Kessler
BULLIS STRONG AND PROUD
A
As I enter my fourth year at Bullis, I admire more than ever the strength, generosity, and sheer willingness of this community. Teaching or working, our faculty do so much on a daily basis on behalf of their students and the School. And parents are always there for their children and for the faculty, the School, and every activity in between. The commitment of this varied and wonderful group makes a powerful difference for our students.

“One of the best aspects of Bullis is the secure knowledge that we can rely on our community to do their utmost to help students and move the school forward.”
In my position of leading the fundraising efforts at Bullis, I see firsthand the ways in which the money raised supports our exceptional and innovative learning programs. This year, the Bullis Fund allowed us to seamlessly pivot to remote, then hybrid teaching and learning. It allowed us to set up impeccable safeguards and protocols to keep our community safe. It supported students and teachers with additional materials and technology. None of this would have happened without supporters like you. One of the best aspects of Bullis is the secure knowledge that we can rely on our community to do their utmost to help students and move the school forward. Each year we join forces to grow the Bullis Fund and Bullis School through a donation, a pledge, a winning auction bid, or a thoughtful gift-in-kind to fill a need. So much of what happens at Bullis, and helps make this school great, is due to the countless gestures of support from our community members. In the following pages, our Annual Report highlights and honors that support. I hope you will take a little time to browse the thousands of names listed here, and join us in acknowledging and appreciating their generosity and their caring commitment. Thank you all for making Bullis a priority. We are #BullisStrong— and I feel #BullisProud!
