Why is Gould hosting a State of the School Luncheon?
The State of the School Luncheon is an opportunity for Gould to celebrate its most generous supporters. Gould Academy is eager to connect with donors, partners, alumni and other key stakeholders and be able to share some of the exciting things that are happening on campus.
Who is invited to the State of the School Luncheon?
Members of Gould’s Giving Societies including the Head of School Circle, 1836 Society, William Bingham II Legacy Society and the Leadership Annual Giving Society are all invited to campus. We also welcome trustees and key partners.
What is the schedule of events for the State of the School Luncheon?
We welcome all of our visitors to join us for coffee/tea and snacks from 3:30-4:00. At 4:00, we will all head to Ordway Living Room to hear from Tao Smith ‘90, P’23’28, Head of School about what is currently happening on campus and the strategic direction of Gould Academy. After the presentation, we will have a reception where Senior Leaders will be available to answer any questions you have about the state of Gould.
How much does it cost?
This event is free! It is our way of saying thank you to Gould’s greatest supporters. Although, if you would like to support this event, you are welcome to make a donation.
