In honor of Barb DiTirro

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.

We really support the mission of Old Trail School. Our children all benefited greatly from their experience there.
