DAY OF GIVING, DAYS OF ACTION

Holderness was built on a foundation of serving others, and when we talk about our vision statement—developing people the world needs most—service is an integral part of what we hope our students take from their experience here.

F or this year’s Day of Giving, held on February 16, we decided to honor that tradition of service. For every gift we received that day, the Holderness community pledged to spend one hour in service to the local community. When 1,650 gifts poured in from parents, alums, and friends, we pledged to spend the rest of the school year matching that total with hours of service.

Over the next few months, our students and adults partnered with numerous organizations across the state, from the New Hampshire Food Bank and Squam Lakes Association to the Circle Program and Copper Cannon Camp. Those months of service have been fun, challenging, and incredibly meaningful for all of us. We thank you for your support, for believing in Holderness, and for helping us become the school we strive to be.
