ENDOWED AND SIMILAR FUNDS
Dear Bement Community, I am continually astounded by the culture of giving and commitment to philanthropy that pervades our school and community. In my new role as president of Bement’s Board of Trustees, I recognize our successes in growing the endowment, in developing new physical and programmatic features of the school, and in reaching unprecedented standards for annual giving. This report, then, is a celebration. Thank you to each and every one of you for the depth and breadth of your contributions to Bement. At Bement we are committed to timehonored education aimed at developing well-rounded children through cultivating their integrity, creativity, accountability, and appreciation for each other’s unique virtues. Such qualities follow from a tradition of selflessness woven into the fabric of Bement since well before I first came to Historic Deerfield as a curious ten-year old in September of ’79. Grace Bement’s vision for a balanced, holistic, liberal arts education, designed to teach children the importance of conscientious and societal stewardship continues into our school’s ninth decade. As you will see on the philanthropy highlights page of this report, these examples represent just a few of the highlights from a milestone year of openhandedness and openheartedness from the Bement community. A spirit of giving permeates Bement. We see it in our youngest lower schoolers, like
Grayson Hmieleski ’26, who in each of his first two years at Bement gave a few of his own dollars to the Annual Fund; as well as in our most recent alumni like 2018 graduate Kate Loughlin who contributed $20.18. Yet “Bement Gives” amounts to more than money alone. It also includes investments of time, effort and intention towards helping our school and our local and global neighbors. From the exemplary generosity of students to the sizable gifts bestowed by major supporters, every donation to Bement contributes to providing our students with the best possible education and experience, as well as to compensating their teachers and staff for the valuable work they do. I know the years ahead will bring challenges and tremendous opportunities. I rest assured, however, knowing that I can count on our Bement family to maintain and even grow this ethos of benevolence through our volunteerism and philanthropy. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, as well as the Bement faculty, staff, and students, thank you for your tremendous generosity and demonstrated support.
Warmly,
ANTHONY KWAME HARRISON ’85 PRESIDENT, BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Last year Ms. Gage began the fifth grade pen pal project as a way
WITH GRATITUDE TO OUR 2017-18 ALUMNI VOLUNTEER PENPALS
to teach our students the "lost art" of letter writing. Twenty-four
Katharine Butler ’84
alumni volunteered to participate and write letters to current fifth
Pedro Cervera ’83
grade students. Over the course of the year, our students were able
Pamela Cranston ’65
to learn more about our alumni and their time at Bement. In return,
Craig Creelman ’87
they taught our alumni about being a current student at Bement.
Matt Drake ’96 Stacey Edzwald ’95
Both groups had fun connecting in many ways. This year, our fifth
Kathleen Fountaine ’80
grade will again connect with alumni pen pals. As this project
Anthony Kwame Harrison ’85, TT
continues, we hope that more alumni will join our growing list of those who wish to participate. Susan Conant Holden ’GB, a current

Hiruna Hiroshi ’92
program and corresponding with a fifth grader. The handwritten
Rachel A. Hobbie ’79
letters are amazing, and I look forward to their arrival and learning the activities and interest of our current students.” We thank all of
