Dear Dwight Community and Friends, On behalf of The Dwight School Foundation’s Board of Trustees, thank you for giving your time, energy, and resources to our community during a year unlike any other to sustain Dwight’s unwavering commitment to ignite the spark of genius in every child.

During this unprecedented time, our community has not only come together to help one another, but also, to support the Foundation’s critically important mission during the most challenging time in our 50-year history. Thanks to your generosity, in 2019-20, we awarded $1.55 million in financial aid, enabling many gifted and talented students to receive a world-class Dwight education regardless of their financial means; funded 104 professional development grants, so that faculty could bring the latest teaching and innovation strategies into the physical and virtual classroom to benefit all students; and nurtured the entrepreneurial dreams of 70 students who participated in Spark Tank, including 14 who received launch awards for successfully completing their projects.

In response to COVID-19 and the School moving to a virtual learning model this past spring, the Foundation was pleased to introduce two new initiatives: the Spark Tank Service Challenge, where student-led projects that raised funds and/or supplies for worthy causes were awarded grants; and Spark Talks, a webinar series featuring innovators and entrepreneurs in the Dwight community who shared their expertise with students and all of us.

This year, we were also pleased to provide funding to underwrite the Pollyanna Racial Literacy Curriculum to enhance the School’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) instruction for students in Pre-K-grade 10; and WILD (Wilderness Instruction and Leadership Development), an innovative outdoor program that helps to fulfill the School’s vision to foster the next generation of global leaders who can thrive anywhere in the world.

I want to thank all of the volunteers who worked tirelessly to spearhead our fundraising initiatives both before and during the pandemic, which enabled the Foundation to achieve its goals without interruption.

Despite uncertainties and the changing landscape of our world, we have much to celebrate, beginning with the strength and caring of our community. All of us, most especially our children, are fortunate that Dwight is such a truly special place. With Chancellor Stephen Spahn, Vice Chancellor Blake Spahn, and Head of School Dianne Drew leading the way, their sparks of genius will continue to shine brightly and their futures promise to be even brighter.

Thank you again for your ongoing support, and wishing you health and safety as we move forward.

Warmly,

Susan Kessler (Stephen ’10, William ’14)Board Chair, The Dwight School Foundation

Dear Dwight Community and Friends,

We have been able to advance education in new and exciting ways for more than five decades, thanks to the vision and funding of The Dwight School Foundation. Never before in Dwight’s near 150-year history has this been more critical than during COVID-19. We thank the Foundation and you on behalf of our students and faculty, who are the beneficiaries of your generosity. Your support of the Foundation and its vital mission to fund student financial aid, faculty professional development, and Spark Tank innovation grants during these uncertain times fills us with equal measures of gratitude and hope for the future.

In 2019-20, the amount of money the Foundation raised through the Annual Fund for student financial aid enabled us to empower so many gifted and talented students to take intellectual risks, follow their hearts, and develop their talents. Additionally, a record number of students participated in and launched their passion projects through Spark Tank, thanks to Foundation guidance, mentorship, and innovation grants. The pandemic fueled the Spark Tank Innovation Challenge, in which even more students received funds to advance causes they believe in, illustrating their strong desire to make our world a better place amidst a global crisis.

Also through the 2019-20 Annual Fund, support for faculty professional development, which advances our teachers’ abilities to educate skilled transformational thinkers — needed now more than ever in the pandemic — was greatly enhanced.

The Foundation’s Spark 21 Campaign, which invests further in our students, faculty, and programs, underwrote the Pollyanna Racial Literacy curriculum to enhance our School’s DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) efforts, enabling Dwight to incorporate this critically important instruction for students from Pre-K through grade 10. So, too, did the Campaign support the growth of the WILD (Wilderness Instruction and Leadership Development) program and the purchase of new instruments for our student-musicians.

We thank the Foundation — and all of you — for your generosity of both spirit and resources, especially as we shifted during the spring to virtual learning. Our community, buoyed by a deep and abiding dedication to our students, navigated uncharted waters together with compassion, resilience, and an innovative mindset. As we look ahead, we know that together we will continue to break new educational ground and to ignite many more sparks of genius for years to come

Warm regards,

Stephen Spahn Blake Spahn Dianne DrewChancellor Vice Chancellor Head of School

Spark Tank

Spark Tank, Dwight School’s incubator for K-12 students, supports the School's mission to ignite the spark of genius in every child. Through Spark Tank, students learn how they can make an impact and build a better world through entrepreneurship, innovation, leadership, and service.

This year, 70 students participated in Spark Tank. We held three Spark Tank events (two in person and one virtually), where 17 students gave presentations to our Spark Tank judges for feedback, mentorship, and funding through innovation grants; 14 students reached the launch stage and received awards. We also hosted three Spark Tank Expos and Pop-up Shops, exciting new additions this year, where students in the early stages of their project could introduce their ideas for feedback and those whose projects are market-ready could sell their products.

“I found the experience instructive in a number of areas, from communicating innovative school initiatives to encouraging

girls to pursue STEM education and career fields.” – Matt Moran, Director of Technology and Innovation

“I learned about a new way to assess, using storytelling rather than checklists, as a

student-centered approach.” – Carly Sheehan, Kindergarten teacher

“I gained greatly from the diverse variety of experiences at the Institute. I came away with new resources, ideas, and experiences to draw on.” – Sorush Panahi, Third Grade teacher

“Empathy interviews will play a significant role for me moving forward.... It has been worthwhile to see how

I can better understand the user and take that information to enhance life at Dwight, as well as

make my own work more effective.” – Ron Posner, Head of Middle School

“We received important reinforcement of the idea that creativity and design are not innate abilities, but are

skills that you can learn and develop over time, which is an essential concept to reinforce for our students.”

– Emily Chakwin, Quest teacher

With Dwight School’s continued investment in new and renovated spaces, including the exciting addition of the 21 West 88th Street brownstone, The Dwight School Foundation has partnered with the School to support initiatives that will advance learning through the Spark 21 Campaign for Dwight.

With a goal to usher in a new educational era at Dwight, the Spark 21 Campaign continues to invest in Dwight students, faculty, and programs; and funded the following grants this past year:

Spark 21 Campaign - Capital Giving

Programming Through Foundation funding, the WILD (Wilderness Instruction and Leadership Development) Program was launched as an innovative outdoor initiative designed to build community and help fulfill Dwight’s vision to foster the next generation of global leaders who can thrive anywhere in the world.

State-of-the-Art EquipmentThe Foundation continued to create new opportunities for students to excel by purchasing new musical instruments for the Performing Arts Department.

Financial Aid Thanks to funds donated to the Spark 21 Campaign, the Foundation was able to award financial aid to talented students in the 2019-20 academic year.

Curriculum Innovation Committed to equipping our faculty with the tools and framework needed to enhance and expand Dwight’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training, the Foundation underwrote the Pollyanna Racial Literacy Curriculum for students in Pre-K-grade 10.

In the wake of COVID-19 and the School’s move to virtual learning this past spring, the Foundation launched two new initiatives: the Spark Tank Service Challenge and Spark Talks. We look forward to resuming both in 2020-21!

Spark Tank Service Challenge: Innovation for the Greater Good The Foundation introduced this challenge to support student-led projects that raised funds and/or supplies for worthy causes during this unprecedented time. Following an application process, the Foundation awarded grants to 15 students for their winning individual and/or group projects.

Spark TalksThis new webinar series featured innovators and entrepreneurs in the Dwight community who shared their valuable insights and expertise in a wide range of industries with us. Each speaker was interviewed by a student moderator and answered live audience questions. The Foundation hosted nine Spark Talks and thanks all of our guests and moderators for participating!

The 2020 Half MarathonAlthough the 2020 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon was cancelled because of the coronavirus, members of Team Dwight School Foundation had raised funds in advance, and some even ran independently to support student financial aid, faculty professional development, and Spark Tank innovation grants! We thank them — as well as all 2020 NYC Half Marathon donors — for their support!
