KIT PARTING THOUGHTS
We knew all along that the Roeper spirit would rise to the occasion We were often treading through new territory each day, and while on this unexpected journey, David Feldman, Head of School, asked that we commit to a covenant … one where we all strove to care for ourselves, for each other and for the school This level of interdependence is the essence of the Roeper philosophy and a perennial guide
Your steadfast support of The Roeper School has been an inspiration as we faced the challenges of the year and for that, you have our heartfelt gratitude
Throughout the height of the pandemic, your generosity enabled us to achieve unprecedented levels of contributions and expressions of notable confidence Your enthusiasm and loyalty are evident and continue to fuel our innovation, as we commit to keep our promise to our students and their families
We exceeded our Annual Fund Campaign Goals, stewarded several impactful special gifts and endowments, held inspired virtual events to confront racism and bigotry, celebrated the remarkable talents of our remarkable students, worked to boost the incomparable skills of faculty and staff — all while building a brighter future for a community
We faced an uncertain landscape — and it is not over yet Yet, we are ever more assured that the Roeper spirit is resilient and unshakable because of you!
Please accept our deepest thanks and our wish for continued health and safety
Keep In Touch!
Yours,
We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to the second AntiBlack Racism forum panelists (CW from upper left), civil rights advisor, activist and attorney Bruce Miller; Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson; digital strategist and community organizer Mark Crain; and labor relations attorney and former Chair/ Roeper Board of Trustees Mary Ellen Gurewitz.
