Spring Benefit 2022

Faculty & Staff Compete in Basketball Game for WLS Gym Debut

For the grand opening of the Westchester Lower School gym on April 8, the faculty and staff played an inaugural basketball game to mark the occasion. Players from all three campuses competed on the two team—Sailors and Anchors—with coaching support from Head of School Jamie Williamson and Associate Head of School Jon Rosenshine. The matchup was played with professionalism and competitive spirit, with dozens of colleagues cheering from the bleachers. It was a close game, but the Anchors ended up with the win after a final score of 2824. Players and spectators then enjoyed a postmatch happy hour gathering in the WLS lobby.

On April 30, Windward hosted its Spring Benefit at Cipriani 42nd Street. The event honored former Board Chair and alumni parents, Devon Fredericks and Eli Zabar, and President and Director of Research at Haskins Laboratories, Dr. Ken Pugh. The evening's program was hosted by the Master of Ceremonies and alumni parent, Peter Hermann. Guests enjoyed hearing stories from the honorees, alumni Hayven Green '20 and Reed Switzer '19, and Windward teachers Matt Bloom '13 and Alexandra Frelinghuysen.

The evening also included a live and silent auction and paddle raise, which totaled $876,000 in funds raised. Special thanks to the event cochairs, Stephanie Mack and Anike Wariebi, and the auction committee, Francesca Breheney, Cris Carofano, Anna Lansberg, Blaine Peck, Joanna Rego, Tara Rodriguez, and Amerika Williamson, for all their efforts in making the night a success!
