727 days ago by Louisa GarridoWhat a great day so far! The GFS Tiger welcomed students to school this morning, our Lower School students are enjoying the photo booth, seniors received their special cookies, and we are more than halfway to our goal of 500 gifts! Thank you for your support.
We hope you enjoy the below photos from today (more to come).



Bill and Peg Felix, Class of 1954, are sharing their love on Valentine's Day! They started dating when they were in high school at GFS. Although Bill went on to Yale and Peg to Mount Holyoke, they remained in touch and have been married for 64 years.
It's heartwarming to see your pictures and videos for GFS Giving Day! Share them with #ShowYourLoveGFS and donate now!

Ben Thomas ’14, is back for a second year as a challenge donor, inviting others to join him in supporting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programming through the Annual Fund. He was recently on campus to check in with faculty and students and to hear the latest from DEI Director Charla Okewole.
Watch Ben's video and join him with a gift to the Annual Fund!
