SHELTON ANNUAL FUND
2024–2025 Annual Fund:
A Message of Gratitude
from Your Outgoing
Annual Fund Co-Chairs
It has been a true privilege to
serve as your Annual Fund
Co-Chairs. Thanks to the
extraordinary generosity of
our community, we made great
progress toward our 2024–2025
Annual Fund goals. Together, we raised over $1.5 million
and achieved more than 40% family participation and 65%
faculty/staff participation, marking the highest level of
engagement ever.
We are thrilled to recognize more than 180 first-time donors.
Each new voice in our donor community reinforces the
strength of our shared mission.
Your contributions have had a powerful, immediate impact:
enabling $3.5 million in tuition assistance, maintaining small
class sizes and supporting professional development for
our educators — all of which helps ensure every student at
Shelton receives the opportunity to thrive.
This high level of participation also strengthens Shelton’s
ability to secure foundation and corporate grants,
multiplying the value of every donation.

2025–2026 Annual Fund:
50 Years of Learning Without Limits
We are honored to step into the role of Annual Fund
Co-Chairs as Shelton celebrates a milestone unlike any
other — 50 years of transforming lives through education.
Since 1976, Shelton has been a place where learning
differences are not only understood but embraced,
empowering every student to succeed. This year’s 50th
anniversary is a powerful reminder of that legacy.
Thanks to the incredible leadership of last year’s Annual
Fund Co-Chairs and the generosity of families, alumni,
faculty and friends, Shelton raised more than $1.5 million
and saw record-breaking participation. We are inspired by
that achievement and excited to build on that momentum
in the year ahead.
Your support directly shapes the Shelton experience —
ensuring small classes, innovative tools, expert teachers
and tuition assistance that opens doors for families. Every
gift is a statement of belief in our students and in Shelton’s
mission.
As we look forward to Shelton’s 2025–2026 Annual Fund
and 50th anniversary, we do so with immense pride and
gratitude. Shelton is stronger than ever because of you.
As we look ahead, our goal is to continue strengthening
our community of donors and celebrating the
extraordinary impact of collective giving. Together, we can
ensure that the next 50 years are just as bold, inclusive and
transformative.
Thank you for an unforgettable year of support and
community.
Thank you for your continued commitment. We can’t wait
to see what we accomplish in 2025–2026.
With appreciation,
