In this edition of our newsletter, we are proud to share our matriculation lists for our Prep Academy students and recently graduated high school seniors, our most recent annual report, photos from our Spring Luncheon, and information on additional ways our community can support us.

Follow @reach_prep on Instagram for program and event information throughout the year!

Prep Academy Scholars in Cohort 31 have been working hard in their classes, and we are thrilled to share their independent school placements for the fall. They have six more weeks of Prep Academy this summer, where they will be mentors for the new scholars of Cohort 32. They will celebrate Prep Academy Commencement in August prior to starting at their new schools.

College Matriculation List

We are excited to share the impressive list of schools our recently graduated high school students will attend in the fall. The incoming college freshmen are invited to attend our college preparation workshops during the summer to help them begin college on the right foot, and they will continue to receive individualized support from our Director of College Success from now through graduation.

REACH Prep's Spring Luncheon

On Monday, April 28th, REACH Prep's Spring Luncheon returned to the Hyatt Regency Greenwich with over 600 guests in attendance.

Thanks to the dedicated support of our Co-Chairs, Lindsey Goldfaden, Zeina Pike, and Margaret Stevens, and the Committee, we surpassed our fundraising goal! Additionally, the Luncheon successfully united the entire REACH Prep community, including REACH Prep Scholars, alumni, families, partner schools, Board and Associate Board members, donors, community partners, and volunteers.

We are grateful to everyone who attended and supported this beloved event, including Keynote Speaker Dr. Miguel Cardona. We were moved by his message that every one of us has the power to change the trajectory of a child's life with our time, talent, and support.

Please enjoy the beautiful photo albums from Fairfield LOOK, Moffly Media, and Kristyn Miller.

Additional Opportunities to Support REACH Prep

Last year, REACH Prep celebrated our 30th anniversary and launched an opportunity for donors, companies, and foundations to have a lasting impact on the organization.

This special gift initiative is the 30 for 30 Campaign, with the goal of inviting 30 funders to gift $30,000 in honor of our 30th anniversary. Supporters will be commemorated in our new classroom, where programming takes place.

We currently have 20 campaign supporters with two weeks left to go!

If you are interested in joining this campaign and helping us reach our goal, please contact REACH Prep's CEO, Becky Reiser, or Director of Development, Jill Tucker, by June 30, 2025.

We have a variety of volunteer opportunities that allow our community to have a meaningful and direct impact on the lives of our students and alumni.
