Strong Minds. Kind Hearts. Our Mission Guided by Quaker principles, Friends Academy educates our students to discover and develop the best of who they are and who they can become.
Our Belief Statement At Friends Academy, we achieve educational excellence by committing to the highest standards of learning and living. Our diverse and welcoming community is strengthened by our Quaker values, which empower our students to inquire, reflect, and engage in their classrooms, in their neighborhoods, and in the world. Because when we inspire students to learn and live with purpose, they can achieve greatness without sacrificing goodness.

Dear Friends, For the past 29 years, this community event has supported Friends Academy’s commitment to academic excellence and Quaker values. Despite the challenges presented by COVID - 19, the tradition continues. This fun-filled evening celebrates the power of friends and the spirit of generosity that underlies the entire school community, bringing parents, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, faculty, and staff together in support of a Friends education. Thank you for joining me tonight and keeping the tradition alive. This evening, we have some wonderful vocal and musical performances by our students, faculty, and alumni who are contributing their talents to help us raise important funds. I’d like to express our gratitude to this year’s chairs – Dawn Kallman ‘84 and Liz Kakar and their committee of parents who have worked tirelessly to plan this important evening. I commend them for sticking it out on Zoom and bringing our parent volunteers together even if it could only be in a virtual manner. Their perseverance was a true testament to their commitment to the success of this event. Thank you to our community sponsors – Elizabeth and Frank Ingrassia, Kathy and David Gelfand, and Ashima and Mike Narula for their incredible generosity. I am in awe of the magic that is created when the Friends community comes together. Our virtual program will take you through the day in the life of our students during the last year to demonstrate the many investments we have made to ensure the health and safety of our children and the integrity of our program. For all the difficult moments this year, there have been moments of incredible beauty where the inner light of this community has shown brightly. I am so proud of our faculty and staff and the way they have worked tirelessly to maintain the highest academic standards despite what might have been going on in their own lives. I could not be more humbled and grateful. I hope you enjoy our rendition of “Here Comes the Sun,” performed by our students and faculty this evening. The lyrics of this beloved Beatles’ hit perfectly reflect the optimism that fills our campus as we conclude the 2020-2021 school year and look to the future. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and support, and together, we will emerge into the light from this “long cold lonely winter.”
With gratitude,
Andrea

Dear Friends, Thank you for celebrating the 29th annual Friends Academy Benefit and Auction, Friends Together, with us. We are so grateful for your support and partnership during these unprecedented times. Unprecedented - this widely over-used and trite adjective has been voted by many as one of the top words and phrases to officially retire from our vocabularies in 2021. And yet, this word perhaps is one of the most definitive and accurate descriptors of the past 13 months. Together, we have navigated stormy waters, the likes of which have never been seen before in our lifetime. However, the hope, resiliency, and tenacity displayed by the Friends Academy Community were also unprecedented - and you need look no further than Friends Together to see clear evidence of that. From the inception of Friends Academy’s Annual Benefit and Auction event, the overreaching goal has been to build community and enjoy fellowship while raising funds so the school can further its mission of excellence in education while fostering the application of strong Quaker principles. This year’s event was no different. Planning the event offered opportunities to welcome newcomers and enjoy time with friends. It was a way to build new connections and strengthen existing bonds. We greatly enjoyed bringing this event to fruition, and we sincerely hope that you will equally enjoy attending. We owe a debt of gratitude to members of the Benefit Committee, the Friends Academy faculty, staff, and students, and all of our generous sponsors and donors. We would like to send a special thank you to our generous Community Sponsors: Kathy & David Gelfand, Elizabeth & Frank Ingrassia, and Ashima & Mike Narula. None of this would have been possible without Diane Biolsi and Marilyn DelRosso, who not only devoted countless hours to this event, but with whom we also enjoyed many laughs with along the way. We would also like to thank Kevin Barry, Christine Lunsford, Joan Bruen, Andrea Miller, and Amanda Ghysel for their tireless efforts. We deeply appreciate Arnold Miller and everyone in the Advancement and Communications Departments who helped put this evening’s program together. Finally, we would like to thank the talented and dynamic Andrea Kelly and Jen Halliday who helped bring this event to life both onscreen and off! We are proud and grateful to have been able to participate in this very special event, which is truly a celebration of everything we love about Friends Academy. We truly are better, stronger, and “Friends Together” - we simply could not have done any of this without all of you.
