A Letter to the Miss Porter’s School Community

As we continue to weather the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and racism in America, we have witnessed increasing tensions nationwide. Some might be shocked by the events, while others are not at all surprised by yet another manifestation of white supremacy. Today’s events in the nation’s capital are an expected and anticipated outcome of this pervasive, inflammatory, divisive rhetoric and a failure to act.

Year-end Gifts to Miss Porter’s

As we start the final countdown to 2021, we invite you to invest in the students of Miss Porter’s by making a gift to the Annual Fund. In 2020, the costs of creating a dynamic, safe and joyful in-person learning experience were extraordinary and frankly, we need your help to ensure that the rest of the academic year can be as successful as the fall has been.

Giving Tuesday

On this Giving Tuesday, we invite you to directly help Miss Porter’s School offset the significant impact Covid-19 has had on our budget. In this unique fall, MPS was able to successfully welcome girls to campus for in-person classes, athletics, performing arts and leadership development. Being in Farmington, and working together, made all the difference for the girls of MPS, and philanthropy allowed school leaders to confidently execute our fall plan.

Informed

In the face of a global pandemic, a much anticipated U.S. Presidential election, escalating racial tension, staggering inequality, inflammatory and divisive rhetoric, and violence around the globe, it is more important than ever that we focus in on one particular element of our mission – educating young women to become informed.
