Partnership with parents, especially with Fessenden’s fundraising efforts, is an integral part of ensuring all students’ success. To educate our community on the importance of giving to the Annual Fund, we rely on our Annual Fund Volunteer Team, led by Co-Chairs Kirsten Hughes P ’28, ’30, David Tolley P ’27, and Marc Zawel P ’32. Collectively, this team of volunteers helped achieve an 88% giving rate among Fessenden parents last year.
