As I get older, I realize that the education that I was privileged to receive at OTS was amazing. I wish to honor all my teachers: Dr. Michael Kimball, the Rev. Hugh Wright, Mrs. Ruth Alliger and all of the others, who taught us to love learning, the gift I carry with me even more than 50 years later. Thank you all so much, and may today's teachers be empowered to do the same.

Old Trail School means so much to me because it’s where I first experienced the joy of learning, curiosity, kindness, and the value of a close-knit learning community. It shaped who I am today in ways I’ll always be grateful for.
I’m donating in honor of my mom, Barb DiTirro, who was a beloved teacher for more than 20 years. Her dedication to her students and to Old Trail left a lasting impact on so many lives, including my own. This gift is a way to celebrate her legacy and give back to a place that still means so much to our family.
