In 2024-2025, as part of Take Flight: The Campaign for Renbrook, the Grandparent Project is supporting the installation of new tennis courts.

Grandparents and Great Friends who contribute $1,000 or more will be recognized with their names on prominent signage near the courts. Donors who give $100–$999 will be honored with a personalized bookplate placed in a new book circulating in Renbrook’s library—creating a lasting legacy that inspires learning and play alike.

During the 2023–2024 school year, the Grandparent Project supported the Reimagined Library, a cornerstone initiative of Take Flight: The Campaign for Renbrook. Funds raised by the group will go toward the installation of elegant French glass doors, creating a seamless connection to a new outdoor amphitheater and enhancing both the beauty and functionality of the library space.

In 2022–2023, the Grandparent Project proudly supported the Reimagined Library, one of the key priorities of Take Flight: The Campaign for Renbrook. Their generosity will bring the Hawk’s Nest to life—a welcoming second-floor space where grandparents can share stories with their grandchildren and students can enjoy a quiet nook for reading and studying.

During the 2021–2022 school year, grandparents led a campaign to raise $65,000 for upgrades to Stedman Auditorium’s sound and projection systems. The existing system, last updated in 2012, had components that were 10–15 years old and no longer met the demands of a modern performance space. As Renbrook’s primary venue for assemblies, performances, and community events, Stedman Auditorium required a versatile, reliable system capable of delivering clear sound and high-quality visuals for all.

The upgrades included:

• Digital Mixer: Improved design, expanded capacity, and more flexible operation for a variety of performances.

• Stage Box: Enhanced backstage options with greater reliability and capacity.

• Laser Projector: Twice as bright with new wired and wireless connectivity options for presenters.

• Sound System: Includes an Assistive Listening System that connects to hearing aids via WiFi, ensuring accessibility for all audience members.

These improvements ensure that Stedman Auditorium remains a state-of-the-art space where students, faculty, and the community can enjoy music, presentations, and performances at the highest quality.

Renbrook has taken bold steps to strengthen the school for today and for generations to come, and the Grandparents’ Group was proud to support the Energy Project, a cornerstone of this initiative. This forward-thinking plan integrates the latest green technologies, high-efficiency systems, and renewable energy solutions—while also creating hands-on learning opportunities for students to explore how they can become stewards of a sustainable future.

The Energy Project encompasses comprehensive upgrades to heating, cooling, lighting, and ventilation, as well as improvements to roofing, classroom windows, and insulation throughout the school—a significant investment that will benefit both the environment and the Renbrook community for years to come.

Renbrook grandparents supported two transformative projects: the locker room renovation and the Courtyard restoration.

First, grandparents contributed $25,000 to match gifts from alumni and other supporters to renovate the girls’ and boys’ locker rooms. Originally built in 1970 and last fully updated in 2018, these heavily used spaces now reflect the high quality of the programs they serve, thanks to the generosity of grandparents, alumni, and friends of Renbrook.

The second project focused on the school’s iconic front Courtyard. A gift of more than $25,000 from grandparents funded the replacement of broken fieldstone and cement, as well as the full restoration of the building’s original window shutters. These improvements ensure that the Courtyard continues to welcome students, families, and visitors in a space that reflects the beauty and tradition of Renbrook.

Thanks to a dedicated two-year effort, Renbrook grandparents funded key enhancements to the Beginning School.

Their generous gifts supported upgrades that create a welcoming and cheerful environment for our youngest students. Improvements include refreshed interior painting, new lighting, child-sized furniture, and thoughtfully designed storage and play units, as well as upgraded outdoor landscaping and playground fencing. These enhancements ensure that Renbrook’s Beginning School is both functional and inspiring, reflecting the care and commitment of our grandparents to the school community.
