Annual Giving

The school will be facing increased costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic this year. Donations to the annual fund will provide the school with the flexibility to adeptly respond to our most urgent needs, such as technology, health care costs, and faculty support, while also supporting ongoing operational costs.   
 

Field trips enhance and supplement our rich curriculum. Trips to museums, interactive farms, overnight trips to Mystic, Philadelphia, Washington, and Boston, all create memorable and tangible experiences that reinforce classroom learning and personal growth. Your gifts to the St. Hilda’s & St. Hugh’s Fund provide these valuable growth experiences for every child.

Your gifts to the annual fund help us celebrate the rich diversity of our St. Hilda's & St. Hugh's community. Our students learn to honor and celebrate the differences that make every individual an important member of the St. Hilda's & St. Hugh's family.

Learning doesn’t stop with our students. Faculty are constantly striving to become better educators. Annual fund dollars give the faculty and staff access to continuing education programs, summer travel grants, and workshops, the benefits of which are brought back to the classrooms.

Movement for early childhood students and daily P.E. and athletics for senior kindergarten through eighth grade are essential to our program. Lifetime sports, equipment, uniforms, and bus and field rentals for our competitive sports teams give our upper school students opportunities to develop a healthy approach to wellness, which is further enhanced by our locally sourced lunches. Your annual fund dollars support this integral part of our program.

From our smallest lambs in our annual Christmas Pageant, to our all-school art show, to the eighth grade film festival, the annual fund supports the many facets of this program through the purchase of materials, costumes, instruments, and equipment.

Our technology program reinforces what students are learning in the classroom and gives them the opportunity to safely explore the world available through technology. The annual fund provides faculty training that allows teachers to stay informed with the fast-paced advances in educational technology and supports the purchase and maintenance of new, updated equipment.
