Giving Day

For twenty-four hours, our collective community—current parents, alumni, parents of alumni, trustees, faculty, grandparents, and friends—joined together to support the joy of learning we inspire in every BDS student.

During BDS Giving Day, we asked everyone to express their confidence in the school with a gift. Every gift, no matter its size, represents your testament to:

• Academic excellence and curriculum innovation
• Faculty dedication and professional development
• Promoting a sense of belonging
• Financial assistance and accessibility
• The arts, athletics, and health and wellness
• School pride and affinity

Our community exceeded expectations—with 381 gifts and $470,000 raised in just one day! Here is breakdown of annual fund participation for current families:
