LETTER OF THANKS FROM THE BOARD CHAIR Dear Perkiomen School Community, There are moments in the life of an institution when we pause, look back at how far we have come, and appreciate the view. This is one of those moments. With deep gratitude, I reflect on the success of Our Moment to Lead, a $45 million comprehensive campaign, the largest fundraising effort in Perkiomen School’s history. Seven years since we began, this extraordinary achievement is a testament to the generosity of our community, dedication towards our students, and belief in our school’s mission. Our school’s leadership set our sights on an ambitious goal and reached it. In many ways, it feels like arriving at the summit of a long climb. At the top, however, our greatest reward is not simply the accomplishment itself— it is the perspective gained along the way. From this vantage point, we can more clearly see our school’s purpose and the impact it has on students every day.

than ever before through the stories shared throughout this publication. They demonstrate how philanthropic support grows opportunities for transformational experiences, empowering students to discover new passions, pursue meaningful challenges, and develop the confidence and skills that will shape their futures. This campaign has placed a marker in the ground for Perkiomen’s future, redefining the way we think about institutional growth. It has given us the confidence to dream bigger, think more boldly, and pursue opportunities that once may have seemed beyond reach. While we celebrate these milestones, we are also energized by what lies ahead. We understand there is more work to do because we know that our students and faculty deserve the best that we can give them. Philanthropy will continue to play a vital role in that journey, ensuring that our school remains strong, innovative, and prepared to provide an exceptional education.

The campaign’s success, fueled by our donors, has strengthened every aspect of our institution. Gifts to the Perkiomen Fund help meet the school’s most pressing needs and sustain excellence across campus. Investments in the endowment will provide lasting resources that support students and programs for generations to come. Capital construction projects are creating spaces that enhance learning, foster community, and ensure we remain competitive in admissions.

As we look ahead, I do so with great optimism. The view from this summit is inspiring, but it also reveals new horizons. Thank you for being part of our journey.

Those of us closest to Perkiomen have always known it is a special place. Today, we have the opportunity to show that more broadly

LETTER OF THANKS FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL Dear Perkiomen Community, I am always grateful for your commitment and generosity to Perkiomen School. As we continue to raise the bar for the quality of education and experiences our students receive, you have helped to strengthen our position among the nation’s leading independent schools. When we envisioned the Breidegam Student Center, we knew it would transform campus life. What we could not fully anticipate was the extraordinary ways it would become the heart of our community. Each moment I spend in the Student Center, whether it’s helping to serve cookies at Lloyd’s Café during the morning break, cooking a meal with an athletic team in Barry’s Teaching Kitchen, or browsing student artwork in progress in the Forman Family Art Studios, I look around and see that students are connected, off their electronic devices, ready to learn, and most importantly, happy. The Student Center is one of several recent projects to strengthen Perkiomen and to gain a competitive edge among other regional independent schools. Initiatives beginning in the coming weeks reflect our ongoing commitment to our student body. The projects include the outdoor living and recreation area, the conversion of Roberts Hall into music practice rooms and a band space, Finnegan’s on the Green Performance Pavilion, and our new astro turf field. Once these new spaces are realized, I will be eager to share their impact with you, our donors who invested in us, transforming aspiration into excellence.

60th anniversary milestone. We sat together in one of the beautiful breakout rooms in the Student Center and paged together through yearbooks. They reflected on the faculty who inspired them, the dorms and classrooms where they built lifelong foundations, and the camaraderie of friends who stood by them through it all. Naturally, they were curious about what student life is like today, and I was happy to share that the transformational opportunities and supportive relationships that defined their Perkiomen experience remain vibrant as ever. My hope, shared by faculty and staff, is that today’s students will find their passions and a place of belonging here and carry those experiences forward to do great things. We also hope they will return to campus one day, loyal, tried, and true— and proud that Perkiomen is thriving. Thank you to our alumni, families, friends, and our greater community for supporting the programs and people who define a Perkiomen School education. Because of you, Perkiomen continues to have a bright future. With gratitude,

If you look inside a Model United Nations (Model UN) toolkit, you might see writing utensils, flashcards, highlighters, and file folders. Even before the students and their faculty advisor depart from campus in the school van for a multi-day conference, equipped with snacks and cases of water, there were weeks of preparation fueled by journal subscriptions and carefully annotated news articles, plus hotel reservations. The impact of these items goes beyond their material purposes. THEY’RE CREATING TRANSFORMATIONAL EXPERIENCES AND OPPORTUNITIES for students like Wyatt Janczewski ’27 and Santiago Aguilera ’27.

Global Community On April 12, students and faculty gathered at the Cultural Festival to celebrate the many cultures that make up our Perkiomen family, sharing food, music, and fun.

Between dorm jobs, birthday celebrations, and getting ready side by side in the bathroom each morning, Julia adds, “Eventually, the dorm becomes your second home, and your dormmates become your sisters.” While embracing life at Perkiomen, Duda and Julia remain proud of their roots in Brazil and love learning about their peers’ home cultures. When the Office of Student Life sought help to plan the annual Cultural Festival, they jumped at the opportunity. “Our goal was to have as many countries represented as we could!” Julia states. Beaming, Duda adds, “Everyone was so happy and proud to represent their country.” While some students were initially hesitant to participate, Duda and Julia enthusiastically encouraged them to do it anyway, insisting that people wanted to learn about their cultures.

KAYLA SMITH ’26

After four successful years at Perkiomen, Kayla Smith ’26 is READY TO LAUNCH HER COLLEGE CAREER at Boston University with a Presidential Scholarship and admission to Kilachand Honors College.

PERKIOMEN SCHOOL

Kayla arrived at Perkiomen as a ninth-grade student, excited to get involved. Throughout her four years, she grew an affinity for math and science, particularly enjoying AP Calculus AB and BC. “AP Calc with Ms. Segear was challenging, but they were some of my favorite classes because I learned the most,” Kayla says. “I learned how to study, ask for help, and push myself. Now I feel prepared for higher levels of math in college.” She also joined cross country and later track, serving as a team captain in her junior and senior years. Within these teams, she became friends with students from all over the world. Eager to join the Medical Institute as a sophomore, she initially wanted to pursue pharmacy, but she now has her eyes on becoming an oncological surgeon. A defining moment came during her junior year in the cadaver lab at the Venel Institute, an anatomical research and educational facility of Lehigh Valley Health Network. Nervous about working with a real human cadaver, she challenged herself and even made the first incision. As she and her classmates explored multiple body systems, this experience solidified her future ambitions. She proudly remembers, “I’ve always wanted to pursue medicine, and this experience showed me all that I’m capable of. I’m now even more excited to continue this journey!”

Inspired by her growing interest in oncology, Kayla worked with Director of the Medical Institute Dr. Jeffrey Rodgers to develop a study that would fulfill her Institute capstone requirement and provide insight into the oncological field. Using the skills obtained in Scientific Research and Design, she explored the genetic similarities between human and plant tumors through her capstone study titled, “Plant Tumors, Their Correlation with Human Tumors, and Reduction Efforts.” “I chose marigolds because they can develop plant tumors, called galls, fairly quickly,” explains Kayla. As Kayla had a busy schedule with athletics and academics, Associate Head of School Carol Dougherty P ’11, ’13 offered to plant and host the seeds in her garden. In her 40 years as a faculty member, Mrs. Dougherty is one of Perkiomen students’ biggest supporters, serving as a listening ear, a mentor, and even like a second mom to those living away from home. She is also known for her love and expertise in gardening, so she was more than happy to ensure that Kayla’s plants got off to a strong start and were easily accessible once they were ready for experimentation. Meanwhile, in Schumo Academic Center, Biology teacher Maddy Glinski ’15 helped Kayla culture the bacterial pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens in the lab. Once the marigolds had CONTINUED NEXT PAGE

matured, they were transplanted into pots housed in the Forman Family Art Studios, a controlled indoor location with plenty of natural sunlight. From there, she injected each stem with the pathogen to encourage tumor growth and tested various controlled environments to identify which factors may suppress or reduce the tumor growth rates. Kayla says, “It’s really cool that I had all of these opportunities during my high school years, and I’m so thankful for the faculty who made this possible.” Kayla found that same support throughout the college process. Between on-campus visits with admissions representatives and regular meetings with her college counselor, Co-Director of College Counseling John Solewin, Kayla knew that she was fully supported. “Mr. Solewin is always helping his students, and you don’t even need to ask,” she says. “If an admissions representative was visiting campus that he knew I really wanted to talk to, he made sure that I sat with them at lunch. He also encouraged me to look at additional schools that I hadn’t considered but seemed like a good fit, including Boston University, where I’m going. Once I had applied to schools, he followed up with every single one.” Mr. Solewin is all in— even in his role as the Head Coach of cross country, he joins the team on every single run for the entire run. Kayla exclaims, “I don’t know of any other coach who does that!” For Solewin, it’s another way to support students. He says, “I started running with the team because the only way to really understand what I’m asking of our runners is to be out there with them.” “Additionally, it has been one of the best ways to connect with the team and get to know them,” he continues. “As Co-Director of College Counseling, we often talk about their college search, and I think our seniors, especially, appreciate this additional facetime. I also love to run, so it’s been a win-win!” Reflecting on conversations with peers from other schools, Kayla realizes that Perkiomen students have an edge throughout the college process: “At my previous school, it is much harder to meet with a college counselor, let alone one with the capacity to provide one-on-one guidance because there are so many kids. Even in the group setting of L Period, Perkiomen’s college counselors helped us a lot to understand the application process.” She’s grateful for the unique opportunities for academic and personal growth during her high school years that allowed her to stand out during the application process. She remembers,

“Admissions officers were impressed that I continued taking Spanish beyond the language requirement, that I was involved in campus life, and that I conducted student-led research. I just thought to myself, ‘This is what students do at Perk because we want to excel.’” While Boston University is much larger than Perkiomen, Kayla feels prepared for what comes next. Envisioning her future, she says, “I look forward to living at college. Even though I was a day student, I always saw how much fun boarding students had living in the dorms. Boston is such a cool city, and there are so many opportunities.” Her short-term goal is to join a research team before applying to BU’s Early Assurance Program for medical school. Looking back, Kayla recognizes that her success was shaped not only by rigorous academics but also by the spaces and mentors who encouraged her growth. From Ms. Segear’s classroom and Dr. Rodgers’ office to Mrs. Dougherty’s garden, cross country runs alongside Mr. Solewin, and Ms. Glinski’s biology lab, every space offered new opportunities to learn, explore, and challenge herself under the guidance of faculty who believed in her potential. As she begins the next chapter of her academic journey, Kayla is especially grateful for the connection she shares with her brother, Alex ’28. “It was really special going to the same school for the past three years, and I’m going to miss that,” she says. Although Kayla is headed to Boston, their shared Perkiomen experience will continue as she plans to pass her capstone research on plant tumors to Alex, who will build upon her work through an artificial intelligence lens. She hopes he will take advantage of the same culture of mentorship and opportunity that helped to define her experience, forging his own path through the Institutes and beyond.

Endowed Scholarships at Perkiomen Kayla’s four years at Perkiomen School were made accessible through a scholarship endowment fund. These funds recognize scholastic merit and meet family need for deserving students like Kayla.

THE PERKIOMEN EXPERIENCE.

HERE ARE A FEW HIGHLIGHTS. A WELCOMING AND INSPIRING SPIRIT In its second year on campus, Perkiomen’s chapter was named an Official Ambassador for the Be a Friend Project, a student-driven peer support organization. Chapter members invite students and faculty to write letters of kindness and encouragement to send to the monthly Friend Mail recipient.

HANDS-ON LEARNING To celebrate Lunar New Year, Chinese teacher Ms. Williams invited World Language classes into Barry’s Teaching Kitchen, introducing them to the art of dumpling making. Students learned about the history and cultural significance behind dumplings as they exchanged stories and family traditions.

RECOGNIZING OPPORTUNITIES Founded in 2018, PerkGSports brings awareness, support, education, and empowerment to female student-athletes. Liz Gilinger, owner of CoreFit in Royersford, facilitated a 9D Breathing Wellness Experience - “Unstoppable” - as a part of PerkGSports’ empowerment series. This unique, immersive practice combines nine layers of healing modalities to enable personal growth and emotional healing.

AN IMMERSIVE 360-DEGREE EDUCATION From cardboard boat races in Mr. Perlstein’s Applied Engineering class to growing microgreens for Lloyd’s Café in the Science of Agriculture with Mrs. Roest, students have a myriad of handson opportunities to put their classroom skills to the test. These experiences allow students to strengthen friendships, practice independence, and risk becoming their best.

STRONG CULTURE OF COMMUNITY The Carmel M. “Midge” & Chaplain George E. Thomas Vespers Service is a beloved annual tradition which began in the 1970s and endures to this day thanks to an endowment established by the Thomas family. Our community gathers in the Mesnier Chapel for an evening of performed carols and shared readings for the holiday season. Each year the service is unique, featuring the impressive talent of our student body.

DONOR SPOTLIGHT

KARA AND MARK DELLINGER P ’23, ’25 When Kara and Mark Dellinger P ’23, ’25 do something, they’re all in. As Mark puts it, “We’re not ones to stand on the periphery. We like to jump in with both feet.” L to R: Liam ’23, Mark, Kara, Grace, and Ryan ’25 Dellinger

The Dellingers’ connection to Perkiomen began even before their sons enrolled at the school. In 2019, they made their first contribution through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program after Mark’s longtime Comcast colleague, Perkiomen Board Member Jim Finnegan P ‘16, ‘18, encouraged them to support need-based scholarships at his sons’ alma mater. At the time, Mark and Kara knew little about EITC or independent schools.

The family soon found themselves immersed in school life at Ryan’s

“To make a donation and receive a 90% tax credit sounded a little too good to be true,” Mark recalls. “But we saw how well Bill ’16 and Seamus ’18 did at Perkiomen, so we said, ‘Sure, we’ll donate to that.’”

continues to work for the company part time during the school year.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Kara and Mark began exploring a postgraduate year for their eldest son, Liam ’23, before he started the college application process. Enrolling at Perkiomen made sense, and quickly they realized that in a boarding environment, where faculty are more connected to students outside of the classroom, Liam’s teachers would support him in any way possible. Liam became friends with international students and appreciated the school’s diversity and shared culture. Just months after Liam began school at Perkiomen, Mark and Kara realized that it would also be a good fit for Ryan ’25, their younger son who excelled at lacrosse.

PERKIOMEN SCHOOL

lacrosse games where Liam served as a team manager. Kara and Mark sensed a new level of maturity and growth in their sons. “They were happy to come home,” Kara says, “but they also loved the relationships and the connections they made at school.” Today, Liam is a senior majoring in mechanical engineering at Clemson University. After completing a summer internship with Siemens, he While his parents consider him to be a natural go-getter, they credit Perkiomen with strengthening his goal-setting habits and work ethic. Ryan is a sophomore at Sacred Heart University, majoring in business and playing lacrosse. His parents agree that the coaching staff at Perkiomen helped him to develop the skills, discipline, and character necessary to compete in a Division I program. With a great work ethic all around, he made the Dean’s List and is a leader among his teammates. In the spring of 2023, Mark and Kara were invited to join the Athletic Council of the Our Moment to Lead (OMTL) Campaign Committee, and they describe the experience as being swept up into a big family.

Though relatively new to the school they were eager to help lead fundraising efforts towards the campaign’s athletic priorities, even making their own multi-year pledge on top of their EITC contribution that would continue after the boys graduated. And when Day of Giving came around, the Dellingers along with other families matched a total of $10,000 in gifts designated towards Perkiomen athletics. Kara says, “During Day of Giving and all through the year, we hope current and past families invest in Perkiomen so their children can receive the same benefits that ours had. At whatever capacity, we as donors have the ability to help our kids get the best classrooms, the best faculty, and the best experiences that will continue to push them to grow in the areas they care about.”

Perkiomen’s Boys Prep Lacrosse alumni are always welcome at the home of Kara and Mark Dellinger P ’23, ’25.

Reflecting on this camaraderie, he adds, “During that time, we

On the more playful side, they love the enthusiasm that an athletic challenge brings to the event as teams fundraise to be named the Greatest of All Teams (G.O.A.T.). Kara says, “The G.O.A.T. Challenge taps into everyone’s inner child who loves a healthy competition. It also reflects Perkiomen’s culture of joy.”

created really great friendships with the parents who live locally

Kara explains, “Perkiomen parents before us helped to grow the school, and our family got to benefit from their generosity. We owe it to the school to remain involved as past parents and give back because Perk is near and dear to our sons’ hearts. Perk helped to make both of them who they are today.”

gratitude and says, “My relationship with Mr. and Mrs. Dellinger

Mark adds, “We care about the school and the lacrosse program, and we want to see the institution grow to become the best it can be.” In recognition of their generosity, they chose a naming opportunity for the weight room in Hollenbach Athletic Center. Their commitment extends well beyond philanthropy. Kara and Mark were happy to support Ryan and his teammates to reach their goals beyond lacrosse. When a student needed to run errands or just get off campus, the Dellingers and other local parents jumped in. On holidays and long weekends when it wasn’t feasible to travel long distances, the families invited students to their homes, ensuring that every boarder had somewhere to go. Looking back on his junior and senior years at Perkiomen, team member Tommy Winslow ’25, recalls, “Coming to Perkiomen from Chicago was scary at first. I was unfamiliar with the area and the East Coast as a whole, and I knew no one. Ryan and I instantly hit it off, and we created a great bond during our time in Pennsburg. “The hospitality and kindness Ryan and his parents showed me is the most amazing thing I have ever felt,” he reflects. “I will always be so incredibly grateful for them as a boarder whose parents were over 700 miles away.” Surrounded by community, they became even more drawn to step up to lead the fundraising front among the lacrosse parents. Mark reflects, “It encouraged us to get to know the other parents on the team. There was already a strong network, but we wanted to help bring more families into it. Whether it was participating in tailgates, postgame dinners, or just connecting people, it gave parents opportunities to learn about what was happening on campus and get excited about the school’s capital projects.”

as well as those from Chicago, Kansas City, Virginia, or Canada. We’re still all friends, and it’s been great to help new families get acclimated and involved even after Ryan graduated.” Now a goalie at Washington College, Tommy looks back with is nothing short of remarkable, and I was lovingly referred to as ‘Tommy Dellinger’ by both the Dellingers and my own parents. They will be lifelong friends of my family, which perhaps is the greatest gift Perkiomen can give; the relationships.” Mark and Kara agree that the bonds formed through Perkiomen Boys Prep Lacrosse are tightly knit. Former teammates still support one another by attending games, sharing highlight reels, and staying connected throughout college. Over the summer, several players visited the Dellingers’ home where they were welcomed as family. CONTINUED NEXT PAGE

Dellinger Weight Room In conjunction with the Strength & Conditioning program, the Dellinger Weight Room equipment aids our students in physical conditioning, athletic injury prevention and rehab, and mental training, whether they are preparing for the next level of competition or investing in lifelong fitness. “Exercise is good for the mind, body, and soul,” Mark says. “While we enjoy being so involved with the lacrosse program, the weight room is a place where anyone can go to stretch, lift weights, train, or just blow off steam. And it’s not just about being on a competitive team. We hope that this space will introduce a student or faculty member to a new activity that will help to improve their overall wellness.”

REPORT TO DONORS 2025/2026

“Mark and Kara Dellinger didn’t simply fulfill their responsibilities on the Athletic Council,” says Head of School Mark A. Devey. “They recognized the value of building community and ran with it to rally families through their generosity of time and resources. And when our new synthetic turf field is completed, I can humorously state that it will be one less phone call from Mark pressing me. They are all in. He and Kara are driven to raise the quality of the entire Perkiomen experience. They are good people who are fully invested in Perkiomen. Families like the Dellingers help make our kids feel seen and cared for. These experiences shape young people long after their athletic careers end.” While Liam ’23 and Ryan ’25 may have graduated, Kara and Mark’s relationship with Perkiomen is far from over. What began as a commitment to their sons’ education grew into lasting friendships, meaningful philanthropy, and a deep sense of connection within the Perkiomen Boys Prep Lacrosse program. Through their investment of time, resources, and care for others, their story demonstrates the power of community and what can happen when a family chooses to jump in with both feet.

2025-2026 NUMBER OF DONORS & AVERAGE DONATION At the core of a Perkiomen School education is a commitment to students and a recognition that only through collaboration, teamwork, and strong, productive relationships can we find lasting solutions. That works for donors, too. While individual gifts to Perkiomen range from just a few to tens of thousands of dollars, each gift expands opportunity. No matter its size, a gift represents affirmation of Perkiomen. And working together, even the smallest of gifts empower and inspire our students. LEGEND:
