Annual Report Letter

It is my great pleasure to join the Boys’ Latin community!

As a Baltimore native, I can honestly say that I do not believe any school has had a better decade than Boys’ Latin. Everything on Lake Avenue is growing, from the beautiful campus to the academic programs, from the myriad of opportunities to the generosity of the community. What is happening at Boys’ Latin is both exciting and inspirational.

As the head of fundraising, I like to say that my job is to provide opportunities for people to show gratitude and make a difference. On the following pages, we recognize the many individuals across our community who are doing that here at Boys’ Latin. Thanks so much to all of you who continue to support our students, our faculty and staff and our amazing School.

I have already heard wonderful stories, from former parents and alumni, about what Boys’ Latin has meant to their respective families and their boys. The value of a Boys’ Latin degree has never been greater, and our Alumni support and participation rates reflect the difference a Boys’ Latin education has made in the lives of so many. Our faculty continue to create those ‘aha’ moments every day, which is reflected in the outpouring of support across the Laker community.

Our newest endeavor, the Boldly BL Campaign (highlighted in this magazine), is an exciting opportunity to update our upper school, expand and improve our athletic facilities and grow the School’s endowment. I invite you to learn more and consider supporting this Bold initiative. The Boldly BL campaign will undoubtedly assist with continuing the upward trajectory of Boys’ Latin and providing boys and young men with life-changing experiences for years to come.

Gratefully yours,

Craig Brooks Director of Development

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR 2021-2023 LAKER FUND CHAIRS

“Our two sons started at Boys’ Latin in the Lower School. We value all of the opportunities and support that BL has provided them to grow and develop over the years. We give to the Laker Fund to support the faculty and enable them to continue to offer specialized learning for all of the Boys’ Latin community. We invite you to join us by making a gift to the Laker Fund this year in recognition and appreciation of all the dedicated faculty and staff at Boys’ Latin.” – Jenn and Jeff Vitelkites, P’27 P’29
