Buckley's 50th Annual Fall Fair Sets the Gold Standard

Fall Fair Kickoff Party - A Golden Celebration: On Friday, 10/20, we kicked off our 50th-anniversary Fall Fair with a dazzling gold-themed evening. The Parents' Association's incredible transformation of the dining hall and upper gym, spearheaded by our dedicated Kickoff Party co-chairs Salvatrice Acquista and Lindsay Camerata, made it a night to remember. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the Silent and Live Auctions, led by our charismatic auctioneers, Jean-Marc Juhel, Head of School, and Chris Lee, Board Chair!
 
 
Rain Couldn't Dampen the Fair's Spirit: Despite the morning rain, Saturday marked the launch of the Fair. Vendors and activities, including Roda Polo, moved indoors, but we were heartened to see families braving the weather. The sun eventually graced us with its presence, adding to the day's charm.
 
 
Centennial Book Release & Tea with Teachers: Sunday morning saw a wonderful turnout for the Centennial Book Release and Tea with Teachers reunion in the Reception room. We were honored to be joined by contributing authors and project participants, and we applaud our current students Ethan Roman '28, Nick Datterdeen '24, and Ana Calvo '24 for their impressive readings from the book. Watch the video or see the photos.
 
 
Sunday's Fair Finale - A Delicious Success: The Fair wrapped up on Sunday afternoon with a fantastic turnout. The International Food Tent, as always, was a favorite among attendees. Our immense gratitude goes out to everyone who played a part in making this event a hit, from volunteers and activities organizers to donors, cooks and bakers, attendees, and more.  It was great to see so many parents, faculty, alumni, students, and grandparents come together and enjoy the weekend. Your support of this event made all the difference!
 
 
Special Thanks to Our Dedicated Team: A massive shoutout to the amazing individuals who made it all possible, including our unwavering Fall Fair leader Stephanie Long, Director of Communications and Development Operations, Suzanne Bossé, Development Assistant, our Maintenance & Security and Business Office teams, and PA co-chairs Stephanie Lai and Sara Vassos. Your hard work and dedication set the gold standard.
