Each year, the Brearley XIIs and their families select a fund purpose that is especially meaningful to the class and supports the core mission of the School. The Class of 2023 has chosen to benefit and honor Brearley’s beloved faculty in two ways with their class fund. First, a portion of funds raised will be set aside to support improvements to the faculty/staff lounge in 610, which will be completed as part of the ongoing 610 schoolhouse renovation. The remaining funds will be used to create the Class of 2023 Teacher Appreciation Fund, an endowed fund to support Brearley’s faculty sabbatical program, a unique benefit that helps attract and retain Brearley’s talented faculty members.
