Join Us for Fall Fête

November 11, 2026

Guests gather outside the barn at night during the Fall Fête

Join us on Friday, November 20, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Windy Hill Farm for the Fall Fête, the Annual Fund’s evening for our whole community.

It’s a night out for grown-ups, with dinner under the string lights, time with friends old and new, and a chance to celebrate the year together. Everyone is welcome, and tickets are free. Please RSVP so we can save you a seat.

What the Annual Fund does

The Annual Fund never pays for day-to-day running costs. Gifts from families, staff and friends go straight to four goals instead.

  • Student excellence, including need-based scholarships
  • Teacher excellence, so our teachers keep learning
  • Program excellence, for the materials and experiences that enrich every day
  • Environmental security

Our goal every year is 100% participation from families and staff. Any gift, at any size, counts toward it, and every gift is tax-deductible. Read more about the Annual Fund.

Golden Ticket drawing

Golden Tickets are $50, and no more than 100 will be sold. We’ll draw the winner at the Fête. The winner receives half of everything raised, up to $2,500, and doesn’t need to be there to win. Share them with family and friends, too. Buy your Golden Ticket online.

Can’t come? You can still give online.
