Letter from the Executive Head of School

Dear Siena Community,

From the beginning, our goal has been—and will always be—to do everything we can to ensure a student who can benefit from Siena, attends Siena.

Yet again, loyal donors like you provided extremely vital support through The Siena School Scholarship Fund last year, enabling the award of 10 scholarships to help students receive the education they deserve.

In a year that saw increased need in our community, you, our dedicated donors, made a major difference through your support of the Scholarship Fund.

Generosity from Siena parents, grandparents, faculty and staff, alumni families, Board members, and a host of new donors makes this enriching, life-altering education possible each year.

As Siena prepares to celebrate our 20th anniversary and welcome more new families, we thank you all again for supporting our growing community, ensuring that we all thrive together.

Ever Gratefully,

Dr. Jilly Darefsky

Executive Head of School
