As we enter the fourth of 42 Days for Fenn before winter break, the grade-specific Minutemen are marching neck and neck toward campus. It’s a close race to see which grade representative will reach 516 Monument Street first!
Currently, parent participation stands at 40%, with only a few percentage points separating the grades. This highlights how every gift makes a difference and brings us closer to achieving our goals.
To help us reach our ambitious targets of 100% parent participation and over $600,000 in parent contributions toward our $1.5 million Annual Fund goal, we’re excited to announce a special challenge:
From Monday, December 16, through Saturday, December 21, if we receive 50 new parent gifts or pledges, Fenn will secure an additional $10,000.
Last year, during this same week, 42 families contributed nearly $104,000. This year, with your support, we’re confident we can reach (and even exceed) the goal of 50 gifts or pledges.
Will Fenn receive $10,000 toward our parent goal of $600,000?
Will we secure 50 new gifts or pledges by December 21?
Will parent participation reach 100% by December 31?
And—most exciting of all—which grade’s Minuteman will be the first to reach campus?
Only you can help answer these questions. Every gift counts, and your participation makes all the difference. Let’s make the final stretch of 42 Days for Fenn a historic success!
While 4th grade is still in the lead, there is a 4-way tie between 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th.
Make your gift before you leave for break, and help your grade be the first to reach Fenn.
If you don't want to pay right now, email Jess Adani and make a pledge to be paid by May 31, 2025.
We can do this!

After last night, the competition between each grade has gotten even tighter!!!
While 4th grade is still in the lead with 45%, the 6th and 8th grades are catching up. Still tied, but at 42% participation. 5th grade made strides and is now tied with 7th grade at 40%, while 9th grade is modeling the tortoise, not the hare, with a slow and steady 14%. Tonight's calling night will make a big difference. Stay tuned to see where we are tomorrow!
