ANNUAL GIVING TO OES
Tuition covers only a portion of the cost of educating our students. The remainder is bridged by income from auxiliary programs, revenue from endowment investments, the auction, and the OES Fund. This model is similar to the business model of all independent schools that are sustained by the good works and charitable resources of the community they serve. Annual Giving supports the people and programs that make OES so special, including talented teachers, small classes, and exceptional offerings in every aspect of a student’s education.
OES FUND CHAIR ELIZABETH GEWECKE
This year’s OES Fund surpassed our goal, due in no small part to the dedication and enthusiasm of our OES Fund volunteer team. Volunteers participated in phonathons, wrote personal notes, made thank-you telephone calls, hosted coffees, and answered countless questions on behalf of the school’s annual giving program. Many thanks to our volunteers and to the more than 800 people who donated to the OES Fund this year!
DONOR SPOTLIGHT
GERALDINE HANNY SARGENT ’35 According to our school records,
Geraldine Hanny Sargent ’35 started making an annual gift to the
School in 1968 with a donation of $5. It was a modest gift, but it was the beginning of a personal tradition. Since then, she has given almost every year, and sometimes she has donated twice a
year, with her contributions gradually increasing to
$3,000 annually. Geraldine has also provided for OES through her estate plans, ensuring that her legacy of generosity endures. Consistent annual giving from loyal alumnae/i such as Geraldine has helped OES provide for students in good economic times and in more difficult times.
