You can donate to add plants to
new BEE Kind Garden
The Raleigh School is planting a garden in recognition and honor of the retirements of Mary Covington, Colleen DuPre, Steve Sather, Jan Schnurr, and Sue Spaccarotella.
The BEE Kind Garden located just outside the third grade has been designed as a pollinator garden and it will become home to birds, butterflies and blooming flowers. We hope this space will inspire kindness in us all. Thank you Mary, Colleen, Steve, Jan and Sue for your dedication and for making a difference in the lives of many children who have been fortunate enough to be in your classrooms.

There were big smiles and happy hearts when Harriet Lasher (The Raleigh School's founding Head of School) visited at the end of the last school year with our elementary faculty. Harriet enjoyed a 29-year tenure. She reminisced about the early years of the elementary school, talked about our strong teaching roots in project-based learning, and applauded the hard work of current faculty in support of children and families during the pandemic.
