As we reflect on our accomplishments and share our progress, I am reminded of a timeless Core Value that has guided generations within our school community: the worthiness of service to others. This Core Value has bound us together, transcending time and trends, as we provide children with an experience dedicated to high academic standards and character development. In this annual donor report, we hope to demonstrate not only the significance of your contributions, but also our school’s vital place in the region. By the time you read this report, I will have had the honor of presenting each first grader with a St. Edmund’s Academy patch in front of their peers and teachers, spanning 1st through 8th grade. This simple, yet profound act symbolizes a transition in these young lives—an early lesson in the art of giving and receiving with grace, a handshake of integrity, and a glance towards a promising future. Their tiny hands, momentarily connected with mine, serve as a reminder that our time together is fleeting and that our role in their journey carries immense opportunity and responsibility. Your generous contributions make moments like these possible, supporting a blend of unique St. Edmund’s Academy learning experiences that will guide our students far beyond their time at our school. Your belief in our mission and unwavering support are the cornerstones upon which we develop the next generation of St. Edmund’s Academy educated community leaders.

St. Edmund’s Academy Annual Giving Report 2022–2023
THE ST. EDMUND’S ACADEMY TEACHER AWARD was inspired by a generous donor and annually recognizes the teacher that positively uplifts the school community through their demonstration of core values and exemplification of the culture of teaching excellence. The individual will have a dedication to the social-emotional and cognitive growth of children and serve as a model for the entire school community. Given at the beginning of the school year to acknowledge the commitment of returning faculty, this award both recognizes the excellence in the work they’ve done and their dedication to the work ahead.
2023 Recipients of The St. Edmund’s Academy Teacher Award
Maria Dianifaba brings joy and positivity to all of her interactions, creating a space for students to learn and thrive. Joining St. Edmund’s Academy in 2018, she has been a consummate team player, bringing her talents to our advisory program, her French classroom, and our United Nations Sustainable Development Goals curriculum. As an Upper School advisor, she cultivates positive relationships with her students that allow them to bring their full selves to her classroom and to our school. Ms. Dianifaba takes pride in her students’ success, and creates conditions in which they can reach their potential.
Holly Adams passionately supports the education of each child at St. Edmund’s Academy. Since joining SEA in 2004, Ms. Adams has brought her talents to many aspects of our program. As an art instructor, she engages children in hands-on activities that inspire their creativity. She ensures that every child knows they are an artist, and supports them as they proudly show off their artwork to classmates and family members. In her classroom, students are not afraid to make mistakes, ask questions, and even get a little messy. Her kindness and patience as a teacher is matched by her commitment to developing students of character.
