The Anchor: A Year in Review

Celebrating Hewitt’s Commitment to Research and Leadership

A History of The Anchor

The Anchor is The Hewitt School’s newsletter, refecting our commitment to showcasing the vibrant achievements of our community. Through The Anchor, we not only celebrate the past but also connect our current students and alumnae, fostering a sense of belonging within our beloved school.

Originally established in 1948, The Anchor began as a newsletter designed to keep in touch with the lives of alumnae and former teachers. Miss Hewitt would pen a letter to her “Dear Old Girls,” while Head of School Mrs. Comfort would follow with insights about the state of the school, addressing the entire Hewitt community. Over the years, The Anchor has evolved but has consistently maintained its role as a vital link — whether in print or digital form — between generations of Hewitt graduates and the current school community.

Welcome to our newly reimagined magazine, The Anchor: A Year in Review, where we proudly continue the tradition of celebrating our community’s remarkable creativity and powerful voices.

In these pages, you will fnd inspiring news from current students and alumnae that showcases their achievements and highlights how your generous support enhances Hewitt’s initiatives and programs.

The 2024-2025 school year was particularly special as we honored the decade-long legacy of outgoing Head of School Dr. Tara Christie Kinsey and welcomed our ninth Head of School Dr. Jennifer Zaccara. We also spotlighted the vital role of Hewitt’s Center for Girls’ Research and Leadership during our 2025 Beneft, further underscoring our commitment to amplifying the voices of girls and young women.

A heartfelt thank you to our advancement offce interns, Carly Geneen ’22 (University of WisconsinMadison) and Isabelle Kless ’24 (Colgate University), for their invaluable support in bringing this edition of The Anchor to life.

Join us as we celebrate the vibrant community that makes Hewitt truly exceptional!

If you had to pick three words to describe yourself, what would they be?

I would choose creative or innovative, tenacious, and authentic. I see creativity and innovation as intertwined; I express my creativity through writing while also developing innovative business strategies. My second trait, tenacious, refects my persistence and commitment to following through on my goals. Finally, authenticity is essential to me - building warm, meaningful relationships is a top priority, and I strive to bring my true self into everything I do.

What drew you to Hewitt?

What drew me to Hewitt was the immediate excitement I felt when I saw the job opening. Having previously been the associate head at Nightingale, I was already familiar with Hewitt and had always admired the School’s vision for educating girls and young women.

As I delved deeper into learning about the School, reached out to those with connections to Hewitt, and gathered insights, I realized that my skills and experiences aligned well with the needs outlined in the job description, which I liken to a “Mary Poppins” wish list. It became clear that my background and passion for empowering girls matched what Hewitt was seeking in its next head of school. It felt like a perfect ft on both sides, combining my vision with the School’s mission.

What

is your favorite part of Hewitt’s campus?

My favorite part of our campus is defnitely the library, and I hope to work with Hewitt’s leadership team and teachers to enhance it as the heartbeat and center of the School for our K-12 students and families. The library can be a place for digital research, a center of discourse and debate, and home to a speaker series and parent programming. I also love the classrooms when they are flled with students!

I envision expanding our campus aesthetic while also strengthening our authentic K-12 community; fostering deeper connections among our students, families, and faculty; and creating a more cohesive and supportive environment for all.

Finally, my offce is a favorite space of mine, featuring an elegant freplace and a painting of The Venturer above it. I’m learning a lot about Hewitt’s history while spending much of my time working and holding meetings there. Overall, the library, our classrooms, and my offce truly embody the spirit of Hewitt and the vibrant community we are fostering.

What are your goals for the next few years at Hewitt?

I want to gather student leaders to discuss the state of the School, share my plans, and hear their ideas. I’d like student voices included in administrative discussions, along with greater transparency for faculty about Hewitt’s vision.

My goals include raising Hewitt’s profle as a leading girls’ school in the city and establishing academic throughlines from lower to upper school focused on leadership, research, and critical thinking. I also want to evaluate our use of space, preserving the historic townhouse feel of our campus while thoughtfully expanding and renovating our facilities, and taking full advantage of our location and hands-on learning opportunities. Additionally, I envision establishing an endowment that refects the signifcance of our 105-year history and the legacy we aim to build for the future.

Finally, maintaining our sense of community is crucial. To enhance this, we will be introducing a house system that retains the structure of Hewitt’s blue and white teams while creating new opportunities for mentoring and connection as well as for parent/guardian networks across divisions. This system will span K-12, promoting student leadership and family engagement through various events and programs.

How do you see the alumnae community giving back to Hewitt?

Hewitt alumnae have made signifcant contributions across a wide range of felds, including arts and entertainment, music, literature, business, philanthropy, and public service. Our alumnae demonstrate their lasting affection for Hewitt not only through philanthropic support, but also by returning to 75th Street to share their experiences and expertise. Their achievements refect Hewitt’s commitment to empowering young women as ethical leaders poised to make a positive impact in society.

To further strengthen our connection with Hewitt alumnae, we are launching an alumnae engagement initiative that will include a comprehensive survey. This survey will help us understand how well alumnae feel equipped for life beyond Hewitt and give us a chance to learn more about their college experiences and career paths. Additionally, it will explore their interest in getting involved with the School through opportunities such as offering career advice, internships, and mentorship. Through these efforts, we hope to foster a robust network that supports both alumnae and current students.

What Hewitt tradition are you most looking forward to experiencing for the frst time?

I’m really looking forward to seeing our senior-kindergarten buddy program in action. It is such a special opportunity that helps younger students feel more at ease with the older girls, fostering a sense of community. The new house system will further enhance this sense of belonging.

As Hewitt alumnae, we were fortunate to have teachers who made a lasting impact on us. Can you think of a specifc teacher who helped shape your experience as a student?

My frst teacher was my father, who was both a businessman and an intellectual. He made learning fun, played music, and inspired me daily, including quoting Shakespeare to me and my sister.

At Trinity College, Professor Sam Kassow made a lasting impact. Although I was an English major, I took every course he taught in Russian, German, and Jewish history and ultimately I became his teaching assistant. He pushed me academically and intellectually, leading me to consider a future in international journalism before ultimately pursuing a career in education.

How do you defne what it means to be a role model?

That’s a great question! To me, being a role model means embodying the values and mission we promote, and as head of school, I am committed to fulflling that responsibility. I practice the values we want to instill in every Hewitt girl. I strive to model what it means to be a confdent and ambitious yet also kind and joyful woman, and to lead with faith and courage as we develop a 21st century vision for Hewitt while also honoring the School’s rich history.

Ultimately, being a role model means being deeply invested in our community. Mentorship is essential to me, and I dedicate time to supporting the growth of both students and faculty. I am passionate about encouraging girls and young women to push beyond their perceived limits, whether in academics, in extracurriculars, or in sports.

“High school was never a perfectly choreographed routine. It was full of unexpected beats and missed steps, but the magic was in how we kept going. We became leaders, creators, risk-takers, and believers in ourselves, ready to keep moving forward no matter the music.”

- MADYN BRYANT (SPELMAN COLLEGE)

“Hewitt taught us to embrace challenges and discover our strength. Like tea bags in hot water, we steeped in moments of doubt and pressure, only to emerge stronger and more resilient. Each of us has left a piece of ourselves here, and as we step forward, we’ll bring that spirit wherever we go.”

- YARA TARIE (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY) AND GOLDIE ZARABI (GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY)

CENTER FOR GIRLS’

Research and Leadership

Hewitt’s Center for Girls’ Research and Leadership (CGRL) is dedicated to providing educators with research-informed practices that improve girls’ lives and outcomes both in school and in the workplace.

Faculty Spotlight

Congratulations to Educational Technologist Young Kim on his participation in the International Coalition of Girls’ Schools Global Action Research Collaborative (GARC) on Girls’ Education. This prestigious program is the world’s frst action research initiative that brings together educators from girls’ schools worldwide to engage in informed, collaborative, and disciplined action research.

As a member of the 2025 cohort and an inaugural GARC Fellow, Young dedicated 18 months to researching how girls develop a sense of agency in STEM and design classes.

Today’s girls face overwhelming challenges — from eco-anxiety to underrepresentation in leadership positions — that can hinder their sense of agency in the learning process. Throughout his research, Young examined learning concepts and teaching methods aimed at building adaptability and autonomy, while also encouraging healthy decisionmaking and self-refection among girls.

Hewitt’s Center for Girls’ Research and Leadership awarded 8 faculty fellowships totalling $40,000.

2025-2026 Faculty Fellowships

Thanks to our community’s generous support at the 2025 Beneft, we were delighted to launch a new research fellowship program to enhance professional development and promote innovative educational practices for Hewitt’s faculty. Our faculty fellowships encourage teachers to engage in research that aligns with Hewitt’s mission and values, particularly in the areas of curriculum development, pedagogy, and student engagement.

The Center is thrilled to welcome Upper School English Teacher Miriam Walden and Physical Education Teacher Kat Miller as our inaugural research fellows.

Engaging Students as Researchers

Nina Becket ’24 (University of Pennsylvania) and Hewitt Mathematics Teacher Dr. Benjamin Dickman are collaborating on a textbook chapter about mathematical creativity and mathematics competitions. Their work is based on research conducted in their Mathematical Problem Solving and Problem Posing course at Hewitt, and investigates the success of three women from the U.S. south who defed stereotypes around gender and geography with their 1939 team performance on a competition known as “the Putnam.”

Hewitt’s Extended Inquiry (EI) program invites students in grades 9-12 to deepen their understanding of subject material through independent research. EI projects are student-led and offer upper schoolers the opportunity to explore specifc academic interests that are personally meaningful to them.

This spring, K-12 families gathered to hear members of the senior class present their EI projects and to learn about how the EI program sets Hewitt students apart in the college process. Scan the QR code to watch recordings of presentations on using mathematical modeling to describe the spread of disease; the objectifcation and villainization of female protagonists in literature; and the role social, economic, and cultural challenges play in the immigrant experience.

Sustainability and Service Learning

Forging a more sustainable future is core to Hewitt’s mission. From kindergarten through twelfth grade, our students develop their environmental literacy through coursework, student-led and experiential learning initiatives, and school-wide programming.

Last year, upper schoolers in Hewitt’s Leadership for Sustainability course completed Sustainability Action Projects designed to impact our school community through a transitional waste plan, an outdoor educational hike, a proposal for 100% recycled copier paper, and a student-led sustainability conference.

At our Sustainable Spring Market, community members purchased vegetables, greens, herbs, and fowers grown by students from Hewitt’s middle and upper school sustainability teams.

In the lower school, our fourth grade Sustainability Club created a pollinator garden to help “green” Hewitt’s outdoor space, and second graders studied how oysters clean and flter water through daily observations of their classroom oyster tank and a feld trip to Hewitt’s Oyster Research Station on the East River.

Our Sustainability Council — a volunteer group composed of students, faculty, and families — spent the year focusing on initiatives to reduce “phantom power” use and enhance nutrition education at Hewitt. The Council also continued to raise our school’s profle as a leader in sustainability by hosting a New York City Interschool Sustainability Conference and participating in the Columbia University Youth Climate Summit.

Ashley Hope Goodman Memorial Endowment and Garden

The Ashley Hope Goodman ’18 Memorial Endowment Fund was established to honor the memory of alumna Ashley Hope Goodman (Muhlenberg College), who passed away in the fall of 2021. Ashley’s warm and positive personality deeply connected her to the Hewitt community during her 13 years at the School.

In collaboration with Ashley’s family — Karen, Marc, and Parker Goodman — and her Hewitt classmates Mackenzie Foskett ’18 (Providence College) and Sophia Michaelson ’18 (Syracuse University), Hewitt created this fund to sustain Ashley’s legacy and provide ongoing support for students, faculty, and school programs.

Proceeds continue to support sustainability initiatives, including the Ashley Hope Goodman ’18 Memorial Garden on the ffth foor of Stillman Hall. Designed by alumnae Caroline Baillie ’22 (Yale University) and Natalia Macia ’22 (Middlebury College) as part of their Extended Inquiry project, the recently renovated garden features new planters, seating, and a small greenhouse to allow students to grow vegetables and herbs for the dining room. It will also support a new elective course, The Ecology of Food Systems, which examines nutrition and the environmental impact of and cultural relationships to food.

Endowed gifts to the memorial fund will ensure the garden remains a vibrant space for learning, gathering, and honoring Ashley’s lasting legacy.

Day of Service

At Hewitt’s Annual Day of Service, K-12 students, parents, guardians, faculty, staff, and alumnae come together to make an impact on our local and global communities. Thanks to the generous support of the PHFFoundation, Day of Service has become a cornerstone of Hewitt’s commitment to addressing critical social issues.

One of our Day of Service partners, Rise Against Hunger, is a global non-proft dedicated to providing nutritious meals to people facing food insecurity. Since 2023, the Hewitt community has worked with Rise Against Hunger to package over 75,000 meals! Hewitt also partners with other local organizations including the Friday Soup Kitchen at All Souls NYC, Citymeals on Wheels, the New York Common Pantry, Afrikana Food Pantry in Harlem, and Rescuing Leftover Cuisine on the Upper East Side.

“Hewitt’s Day of Service is not just an opportunity to give back; it is a fundamental part of our school’s commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. By engaging our entire community in hands-on service projects, we not only address pressing needs but also foster a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of environmental and social issues. Together, we are building a culture of stewardship that empowers Hewitt students to be proactive advocates for a sustainable future.”

- DIRECTOR OF SUSTAINABILITY TIM CLARE

“This year’s event marked Hewitt’s most successful and involved Day of Service yet, as our entire community was eager to participate in our efforts to give back. The day highlighted Hewitt’s ability to recognize relevant and ongoing issues and support students in contributing to the bettering of our world.”

- STUDENT SERVICE BOARD CO-HEAD WAVERLY WEISS ’25 (SMITH COLLEGE)

Deep Dives

At Hewitt, we are increasingly taking students off-campus to explore our city and world through deep dive learning experiences — intensive investigations of thorny, interesting, real-world problems.

Research shows that place-based experiential learning opportunities are transformative, and indeed, Hewitt students return from their off-campus deep dives full of enthusiasm for the experience of learning directly from, and developing connections with, their local communities. Through these deep dives, students develop confdence and agency around their learning, break out of their normal routines, expand their perspectives, take advantage of New York City’s rich cultural resources, and gain hands-on understanding of how they can contribute to their local communities.

Additional Service Projects and Local Partnerships

Through partnerships with local organizations, our students engage in meaningful community service around food and housing insecurity, local ecology, environmental health, and sustainability education.

To date, Hewitt students have rescued and delivered 13,096 pounds of leftover food to the Neighborhood Coalition for Shelter, providing 10,913 meals and preventing 30,514 pounds of carbon emissions.

Hewitt families participated in a “produce party” with Grassroots Grocery, packing and delivering fresh produce to community sites in the Bronx.

Students in grades 5-12 partnered with the City of Long Beach for Hewitt’s second annual coastal cleanup.

In an average school year, student-led efforts to reduce campus waste and promote a sustainable future include:

• 750 Pounds of paper waste recycled

• 100 Pounds of dried markers, used glue sticks, and empty snack wrappers recycled with TerraCycle

These initiatives foster meaningful relationships, encourage the exchange of ideas across generations, and inspire current students through the experiences of those who came before them.

Reunion 2025

On May 30, 2025, Hewitt hosted its largest reunion to date, welcoming over 150 alumnae from the classes of 1960 to 2024, along with their families, faculty, and staff. The evening celebrated friendships, cherished memories, and the enduring spirit of the Hewitt sisterhood. Reunion 2025 honored Elizabeth Stevens, head of upper school and assistant head of school, whose remarkable 34-year legacy has shaped generations of Hewitt students. Originally hired in 1991 to teach Latin for one year, Ms. Stevens went on to build our school’s thriving Latin program, serve as K-12 academic dean, expand the upper school, launch the Extended Inquiry program, and support countless students beyond the classroom.

A highlight of the evening was hearing from Elizabeth’s daughter, Libby Deerkoski ’21 (McGill University), who spoke in tribute to her mother. Libby emphasized that the School’s love and support extend far beyond graduation, making Hewitt a truly special place. “My teachers and the sense of community have made Hewitt not only my school but also my home…. I have witnessed the deep love and belief my mother has in Hewitt — in its spirit, its mission, and its community — throughout my entire life. Hewitt has been central to both of our lives, and in many ways, we have both grown up here.”

• One middle and upper school educational technologist

• One upper school engineering and robotics teacher

Hewitt Robotics Achievements

Performing and Visual Arts

At Hewitt, the arts enhance and enrich the entire curriculum. Our programs afford girls the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world by taking creative risks, thinking independently, working collaboratively, and exploring visual and performative art from around the world.

The 2024-2025 school year included several performances showcasing the incredible talent and creativity of our students. The year kicked off with our fall production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, followed by our middle and upper school musical, Mean Girls: High School Version. In the spring, our dedicated middle school performers brought The Pirates of Penzance JR. to the Hewitt stage.

Additional performing arts highlights included winter and spring concerts featuring lower, middle, and upper school musicians; the frst grade “Cinderella-ish” plays; and the Upper School Arts Festival, which featured our students’ studio art, original dance pieces, choral and a cappella singing, instrumental music, theater scenes, and flm screenings.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Our upper school fall play brought Shakespeare’s magic and merriment to life. To prepare for opening night, the cast and crew engaged in a rigorous rehearsal process that included studying text, inflection, and storytelling techniques with SoHo Shakespeare Company. They also worked with professional set, lighting, and sound designers from across New York City, including Samantha Schwartz ’18 (Bard College), who returned to her alma mater as the production’s costume designer.

Cost to put on middle and upper school productions in 2024-2025 $93,701

$270,000

Invested annually to lease Hewitt’s eater at St. Jean, ensuring all students have access to a professional performing arts space with state-of-the-art lighting, sound, and technical elements for both productions and classes.

Plays

At Hewitt, we take great pride in our first grade “Cinderellaish” plays, a cherished tradition showcasing the talent and creativity of our incredible lower schoolers. Each year, first graders dedicate themselves to rehearsing and learning their lines before taking the stage with presence, confidence, and enthusiasm. This annual event embodies the spirit of collaboration that defines our performing arts program and fosters a love for theater in Hewitt’s youngest performers.

“Cinderella-ish”

Mean Girls: High School Version

Hewitt’s middle and upper school winter musical was an unforgettable production filled with electrifying dance routines, powerhouse vocals, and a compelling story featuring relatable characters.

After enjoying the show, students were treated to special talkbacks with Mean Girls lyricist Nell Benjamin and Broadway composer Laurence O’Keefe. These musical theater professionals were joined by members of the student cast, Middle School Dean of Students Meredith English, and Upper School Psychologist Dr. Nkenji Clarke for thoughtful conversations around the show’s themes of power, popularity, and the choices we all face between showing kindness or being mean.

The Pirates of Penzance JR.

The cast and crew of our middle school musical did an extraordinary job bringing Gilbert and Sullivan’s trademark humor and wit to life. Hewitt theater teacher and director Stella Kammel shares, “From the first day of auditions, the cast threw themselves wholeheartedly into the show’s delightfully challenging wordplay and musical score. Over the span of our eight week rehearsal process I was increasingly impressed with these actors as they made the characters their own, and united and uplifted each other as an ensemble.”

While Hewitt productions always offer students the chance to develop friendships with peers from different grades, this show provided a special opportunity for middle school cast members to build relationships with juniors and seniors who worked behind the scenes as stage crew!

Student Spotlights

Kenley C. ’28, Bella R. ’26, and Madyn Bryant ’25 (Spelman College) won bronze medals from the New York Alliance Film Festival! Kenley won in the experimental category for her flm “Day In The Life: Yearning for Summer,” while Bella and Madyn took home awards in the music video category for “Tangled Thoughts,” which Madyn choreographed and Bella flmed and edited.

An active performer in Hewitt’s choirs, plays, and musicals, soprano Lena Davidson ’25 (Hamilton College) is the frst Hewitt student ever to be selected for the New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) All-State Mixed Chorus, and for the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) All-Eastern Division Mixed Chorus Honors Ensemble.

The Hewitt School Library

Originally built in 1925 by renowned architects Cross & Cross, the library in Stillman Hall has long stood as one of Hewitt’s most iconic spaces.

As part of its recent renovation, the library’s wood was carefully restored, preserving the craftsmanship and character of the original Stillman family home. New windows, designed to meet Landmarks Preservation Commission requirements, enhance the building’s historical integrity and environmental effciency.

Since its early years, the library has served various functions, including a quiet reading area and study space. In the 1950s and 1960s, it hosted drama productions on a raised platform. Over the years, the library has adapted to meet the needs of Hewitt’s students, serving as a temporary computer classroom during campus renovations in the late 1980s and adding a mezzanine, stacks room, and checkout desk in the early 2000s.

Today, the library stands as a vibrant hub for research, collaboration, and community engagement.

$349,137

Spent during the recent renovation of the library

In 2023, the School received a generous donation from sculptor Jack Howard-Potter P’28, who designed and installed a custom steel Hewitt rosette above the mantel in our library. Jack thoughtfully incorporated the School’s motto, “By Faith and Courage,” into the design, blending contemporary artistry with more than a century of Hewitt history. This striking piece now anchors the library and serves as a meaningful symbol of school pride.

Jack’s connection to Hewitt runs deep. In addition to being a current parent, his mother, Pamela Howard ’58, attended Hewitt from 1944 to 1955.

Thanks to the generous support of the Kurani family, the Hewitt library has been completely reimagined as a warm and functional space for learning, collaboration, and celebration. The revitalized library now serves as a central gathering place for students, faculty, and families.

Community Events and Volunteering

Parents’ Association

The Parents’ Association (PA) thrives under the leadership of a dedicated and dynamic Board, with steadfast support from class representatives and invaluable contributions from over 200 volunteers.

Our PA volunteers represent current and alumnae parents, faculty and staff, and Board members. They play an essential role in strengthening our community, generously giving their time to support more than 45 events including Hewitt’s community picnic, skating party, K–12 Multicultural Day, and Grandparents and Special Friends Day. They also sustain ongoing initiatives such as merchandise and pre-loved uniform sales, lost and found management, and campus gardening projects.

In addition to event support, our parent community actively fosters connection and camaraderie through book clubs, pick-up basketball games, and the community choir. Class representatives further enrich the school experience by organizing gatherings for families in each grade, including potlucks, dinners, and neighborhood meetups.

We are deeply grateful to all who give their time, energy, and spirit to cultivating Hewitt’s vibrant and inclusive school community.

During the 2024-2025 school year, the PA brought in over $20,000 of revenue through merchandise and pre-loved uniform sales.

With their fantastic rendition of Shakira’s “Try Everything,” our student-led a cappella group, Hawkappella, reminded us that true success comes from embracing challenges and taking bold risks.

Leia Karczmer ’24 (Washington University in St. Louis) refected, “Hewitt fulflled its mission by helping me, a young woman, discover my voice. For me, that voice emerged through research.”

K–12 Cultural Celebrations

In collaboration with student leaders, Hewitt’s Offce of Institutional Equity and Global Partnerships hosted a series of cultural assemblies to celebrate the diversity of, and provide meaningful learning experiences for, our K-12 community. Each year, these K-12 gatherings highlight different cultures and identities in order to foster a deeper sense of belonging and inclusivity at our school.

Multicultural Day

On Multicultural Day, our K-12 community enjoyed workshops, panels, and an “Around the World” food fair. We are grateful to the many parents and guardians whose participation enriched this event and provided authentic learning opportunities for our students.

Thank you to everyone who made a gift to Hewitt’s 2024-2025 Annual Fund!

The Annual Fund supports the School’s highest priorities. While tuition does not fully cover the cost of educating each student, every gift to the Annual Fund — regardless of size — represents an important investment in our exceptional teachers, academic and extracurricular programs, and student fnancial aid.

October Giving Week was supported by our Senior Class Match Gift and celebrated both International Day of the Girl and Give to Women and Girls Day.

In May, we celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week by inviting Hewitt families to share inspiring stories about the educators who have made a positive impact on their lives. Families contributed to the Annual Fund in honor of their favorite teachers and administrators, and the Parents’ Association organized a variety of activities throughout the week to celebrate and recognize our dedicated professional community.

In spring 2025, Hewitt announced the launch of The Daffodil Society, a planned giving society aimed at raising awareness about the importance of estate gifts and the lasting impact they can have on the School’s future.

The Daffodil Society honors our School’s founder Caroline Hewitt, and derives its name from her favorite fower. Ms. Hewitt was a lifelong Shakespearean scholar, and each year she commemorated Shakespeare’s birthday by leading her students to Central Park to recite sonnets and place daffodils at the base of the playwright’s statue. Members of The Daffodil Society play a vital role in securing Hewitt’s future and ensuring that our mission thrives and endures for generations to come.

We invite all community members to consider including The Hewitt School in their estate planning and look forward to sharing stories of how planned gifts support the next generation of game changers and ethical leaders at Hewitt.

Joining The Daffodil Society can be accomplished through various means, including bequests, charitable trusts, retirement plans, life insurance policies, or appreciated securities.

“I loved Hewitt and it helped make me the outspoken, intelligent, and empowered woman I became. I loved every one of my teachers and how they treated each student by looking for the good in all of us.”

- Nikki Finke ’71 (1953-2022), Member of The Daffodil Society

The School recently received a signifcant planned gift from the estate of Nikki Finke ’71. An acclaimed journalist and infuential fgure in Hollywood, Nikki’s generous contribution to her alma mater not only honors her remarkable legacy but also underscores the vital role of estate gifts in supporting the future of Hewitt.

Nikki Finke was known for her groundbreaking work in journalism, particularly in entertainment reporting. She founded the widely read Deadline Hollywood, which became a primary source for flm and television industry news. Finke’s fearless approach to journalism and her ability to break stories made her a respected voice in a competitive landscape, and she paved the way for many women in media. Her contributions to the industry were recognized with numerous awards, and her infuence is felt to this day.

Justine Hoffman served as Hewitt’s head of middle school from 2004-2013. For over 25 years, she worked in public and private schools in Chicago and New York. Most recently, she was an educational leader in Philadelphia, where she held headships at both The Philadelphia School and Revolution School.
