Our team of 18 parent volunteers has been meeting regularly since the fall to bring about an evening of fun, fundraising and celebrating Dwight. As new parents in 2013 who both moved to New York from other countries, we joined the Committee to make friends and experience a sense of community. One year later, we found ourselves so grateful for how happy our respective children were, and for their extraordinary teachers, that we wanted to step up even more to support this wonderful School. The Spring Benefit not only raises funds for faculty professional development, student financial aid and innovation grants, it is the single largest fundraising event of the year. Your participation as attendees, volunteers, donors and promoters of this worthy cause benefits all our children. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support! Let’s Shake it Up!
