Phoebe the Unicorn versus Shadow the Steed. Who came out on top? Apparently we'll never know because in our excitement we forgot to press record. Enjoy the pre-race pep-talk, and look for a victory lap video later this week! (And, hey, we'll chalk it up to #31 on the "Only-at-FSW Quirks" list 😅)

Dear Friends,

What an incredible Giving Tuesday it has been! We’ve celebrated 30 years of Friends School of Wilmington—three decades of joyful learning, meaningful service, and a community like no other.

As we come to a close, we’re down to the final 30 minutes of our Giving Tuesday campaign: $30,000 to honor 30 amazing years of FSW. We’re so close, and your support in this final stretch could make all the difference!

A gift of $30 for 30 years is a simple yet powerful way to help us cross that finish line. Every contribution, no matter the size, gets us closer to ensuring that the curriculum, values, and experiences that make FSW so special continue to thrive for future generations.

Let’s come together as a community to finish strong. Thank you for celebrating with us and for helping us dream big for the next 30 years!

With heartfelt gratitude,

Rachel Presley
Director of Development & Marketing

Progress Check-In

Our faculty believe deeply in the mission of the school and truly love each student for their most authentic self. How do we know? Because this year, 100% of our Board of Trustees, 100% of our administrative team, and 100% of our teachers have pledged or donated to the Annual Fund. Now THAT is how we celebrate 30 years of Friends!
