Annual Day of Giving at The Fessenden School
Fessenden’s annual community-wide Day of Giving takes place each spring. Parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and students participate, writing thank you notes to teachers, donating to local food banks, or making a gift to the Annual Fund—just to name a few.
Our Day of Giving emphasizes participation—donations to the Annual Fund of any amount, from $5 to $25,000, make a tremendous impact on our School community.
