Why We Give: The Brenner Family
When Ann and Paul Brenner reflect on Mark Day School, they remember it as "an absolutely marvelous school" for their son, James, class of 2004. Mark Day School was "academic and challenging, but friendly and warm at the same time." They cite the strength of the athletics program, too. Because James has been "interested in history since the day he was born," Mr. Fargo (the history teacher at the time) was a dream come true. James's love of history grew so much that he and a Mark Day School classmate participated in the Junior States of America, a 3-week civics and leadership education program at Georgetown University, culminating in students visiting Congress.
Ann and Paul's desire to help others send their children to a great school prompted them to name Mark Day School in their estate plans. In so doing, they are members of the Mark Day School Legacy Society. By naming the school as a beneficiary, they are fulfilling a value that is important to them both--that everyone deserves the best education possible. By designating their donations to tuition assistance, they are helping to provide for children for generations to come. Reflects Ann, "The teachers and the students are most important at a school. It's what goes on in the minds of the people that really counts."
