Dear St. Anne’s School Community,
The 2023-24 school year was one of Sustained Joy Through new beginnings alongside celebration of the School’s 30th year as an independent school, we elevated the academic, social, and spiritual experience during the most formative years of students’ lives.
And during this year our community gave their time, treasure, and talent with joy. The School’s top philanthropic priority is the Constellation Fund, and we are nourished by full support from the Board of Trustees, by ever increasing participation in giving from our faculty and staff, and by committed parents, grandfriends, alumni, friends, businesses, and partner organizations. Engagement in the Constellation Fund was swift and elevated out of the gate last year. As a community we reached 75% of our goal by the end of the calendar year and were boosted by increased giving to exceed our $275,000 goal by the end of the school year. Reaching our fundraising goal early establishes necessary momentum during the school year for our extraordinary educators and robust program.
The School’s annual Auction and Gala exceeded all goals, which not only supported critical operational needs but also allowed us to reimagine the School’s Library as an innovative and collaborative learning and meeting space. Our refreshed Library debuted at the start of the 2024-25 school year. In addition to being in greater aesthetic alignment with mind-braineducation research and our program philosophy, this inspiring space is a palpable reminder of the generosity of so many in our community.
Of important note, last year the School launched an Endowment in partnership with the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County for the School’s Equity in Education Scholarship. This opportunity for giving opens the door to a St. Anne’s School education, affirms our mission, and allows our story to be told more widely in a broad community of diversified philanthropists. We are especially grateful to the founding donors of this endowment and are appreciative of the commitment from external donors to its growth.
As the joyful journey at St. Anne’s School continues, we will continue to cultivate connections with one another to uplift our institution and raise good humans. Donors are an integral part of the St. Anne’s School story, and we thank you, sincerely, for your steadfast support. As we journey forward, we express continued gratitude to philanthropists who not only help us meet the School’s needs, but also help to ignite our dreams.
With sincerest gratitude,
Besse Rose
