WELCOME FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL LAURA HASKINS

Small but mighty; that well-known phrase captures the spirit of the 2021-2022 Annual Fund! As one of the smallest independent schools in Virginia, we prove time and time again that we can accomplish great things in our little community. Through incredible board leadership and the generous financial support of you, our donors, we were able to surpass our Annual Fund goal!

Astheworldbecomesmorecomplex,sodothechallengesforadolescentgirls.YoursupportmakesitpossibleforOHSto provide new, mission-aligned opportunities for our girls. We introduced school counseling, yoga and mindfulness, and coding programs that equipped students with tools and skills to thrive in today’s world. These programs reflect a key value of our mission – to stay responsive to the needs of the girls in our care. Orchard House continues to deliver a programthatnotonlymeetsourstudents'needsbuthelpsthemdiscovertheopportunitieschallengespresent.

It is a privilege and joy to be on this journey with each of you as we support, nurture, and challenge adolescent girls duringoneofthemostpivotaltimesoftheirlives.
