Tatnall Visits the Big Apple In October, Tatnall administrators, faculty and members of the Alumni Council headed to New York City to reconnect with local alumni and members of the New York City Chapter of The Tatnall School Alumni Association. The reception— hosted at Arlo Hudson Square, a refurbished hotel co-owned by Erik Warner ’93—gave our out-of-town alumni the opportunity to meet with Interim Head of School Dr. Timothy Burns, reconnect with old classmates and form friendships with other Tatnall graduates.

Hop On the Bus for Tatnall
Throughout the school year, several events give Tatnall’s dedicated grandparents the opportunity to spend time with their grandchildren and connect with fellow grandparents. Most recently, the third annual Grandparents Social had a phenomenal turnout, with grandparents coming from near and far to enjoy a fun evening in the Laird Performing Arts Center. The following day, nearly 350 grandparents visited the Tatnall campus during Grandparents and Special Friends Day to spend the morning with their grandchildren before the highly anticipated Founder’s Day Assembly.
For the past several years, the State of Delaware has provided a transportation reimbursement for Delaware residents with students enrolled in an independent school. In the past, Tatnall has asked parents to consider donating their bus refund—an important annual revenue source that helps supplement tuition—to The Fund for Tatnall, and our parents have been extremely responsive. Unfortunately, the transportation funding for nonpublic schools was not approved as part of this year’s state budget. In an effort to reach our 2016-2017 goal, we are asking parents to consider making an additional gift to The Fund for Tatnall to cover the $20,000–40,000 yearly reimbursement Tatnall would typically receive from the State of Delaware.
