It's also a demonstration that the things that made Gordon special back then are still present today.

For the parent and the child, the experience of going to Gordon becomes an unforgettable point of connection.

And for the graduate, becoming a Gordon parent provides a new way to experience a familiar place.

As Andrea Weisman Russell '97 wrote recently, "I feel both nostalgic and hopeful for the future when I talk to them about their school days."

Anna Burnham Misurelli '02 is teaching in Nursery, too, and she adds "Gordon felt like a second home to me and to be back here as a teacher and parent fills me with such joy. I am who I am today because of my time at Gordon and I already see Leo thriving!"

This month, every alumni gift to Gordon will be doubled through the generous support of alumnus Rob Glancy '97.

For each alumni gift that’s made this month, a tulip will be planted in Gordon’s front garden.
Every alumnus is a part of Gordon’s continued story, whether they're physically walking their child to class each day or they're living many miles away.
Gordon alumni: please consider making a gift to the Gordon Fund, and making your mark on this campus for years to come, at www.gordonschool.org/alumnigarden
