Students and teacher reading in a classroom - Day of Giving - Winchester Thurston

As a classroom teacher, the WT fund provided me with materials and resources that made the learning experiences for my students more experiential. As an administrator, I have been able to have professional development opportunities that have kept me connected to teaching and learning, but also helped me develop greater skills for my new position. Theresa Fox, Associate Director of Lower School 

How Your Day of Giving Gift Impacts Our Students

Giving during the WT Day of Giving really does make a direct impact on every student. Every gift to the WT Annual Fund goes straight toward the things that shape what students experience at WT, both in the classroom and well beyond it.

Your support on this special day of giving helps teachers grow by making professional development possible. With access to updated training and fresh teaching tools, faculty are able to keep things moving forward in ways that connect with students.

Outside the classroom, your gift helps bring learning to life. Trips, leadership programs, and service work give students hands-on experience and help them see things from a different perspective. And a lot of it only happens because of donors like you.

The arts and athletics programs are another area where your generosity makes a difference. Whether it’s buying a new violin, covering gear for the soccer team, or just making sure there’s a working spotlight for the school play, it all adds up.

Your support helps keep classrooms equipped with the latest technology. Collaborative platforms and interactive resources make day-to-day learning smoother and more relevant. 

Most important of all, your gift helps expand access. On the WT Day of Giving, donations support financial aid, which allows more students from different backgrounds to be part of this community.

Every gift matters. And every student ends up benefiting. Thanks for making this day something meaningful, for them and for all of WT.

Thank you to our Day of Giving sponsor!
