Why is Episcopal so special? We have found in our roles as parents and an alumnus that Episcopal is a community of caring, committed people. This community makes Episcopal stronger because each person is willing to step up and do more than his or her part for others. The parents and alumni who volunteer to speak in JTerm classes, run in Michelle’s Miles, speak to Upper School students about careers, welcome new families, plan Starfest, host class parties, and help in the library are always going above and beyond to help make Episcopal exceptional, connected, and more welcoming. We are also committed to Episcopal and its outstanding faculty. The teachers our children have had in their classrooms are second-to-none, and we have seen our children, Phoebe ’18 and Nick ’20, learn and grow in ways that we are thrilled to watch them experience. Their teachers are dedicated and inspiring, and we could not be more pleased at their influence on our whole family. These inspiring teachers are why we enthusiastically accepted the invitation to cochair The Episcopal Fund for the next two years. Gifts to The Episcopal Fund give EA teachers the tools and professional development they need for the transformative teaching and learning that happens in Episcopal’s classrooms. We see The Episcopal Fund as the best way to give back to the EA community and to the teachers who have given our children so much. Giving back to EA is part of the tradition of our school, and The Episcopal Fund is the most direct way to impact the education EA students receive. The Episcopal Fund makes up more than seven percent of the operating budget, and dollars go to work for our students and teachers immediately. All gifts matter to this important effort. We are grateful for the opportunity to help Episcopal through The Episcopal Fund, and we are grateful for your support of EA.
