Class of 2025 Gift

Our goal is for 100% of Class of 2025 families to participate in this incredible project - a beautiful multi-use deck and outdoor lounge.  
 
Family participation through 5/6/2024: 
 
 
Total Amount Raised (through 5/6/2024): $261,271
 
Thanks to the generosity and participation of parents, grandparents, and students in the Class of 2025, we have passed the $250,000 mark for the Class of 2025 Gift. There is still more to do! Funds raised in excess of $250,000 will help to further beautify the space and ensure that it is a fun and truly comfortable hangout spot for students.  

The two classes before us raised $368,139 (Keyes Patio, Class of 2024) and $221,763 (Light Up the Hill, Class of 2023). Let’s see what we can accomplish together! 
Creating a student-centric space for community and togetherness
 
The Westminster Class Gift is an opportunity for families in the same form to come together and, in honor of their childrens’ time at Westminster, collectively provide an impactful legacy gift to the school. 
 
The Class of 2025 Gift will be an integral component of a multi-phase outdoor rec area project between the paddle courts and Jackson Hockey Rink. Specifically, a beautiful multi-use deck and adjacent outdoor lounge area where students can put on a performance, relax, do homework, play music, or even watch an outdoor movie together. It will be a space where students can be together with their friends, teams, or classes for moments of possibility and community. 
 
Let’s help transform what is now an empty space into a community area for students to gather and forge friendships and memories beyond the classroom! Successfully funding the Class of 2025 Gift by June 30, 2024 will allow the work to be completed by the fall, which means that our students can enjoy the project during their Sixth Form year while leaving an amazing legacy that our students can return to as proud Westminster alumni, and one that will enhance the student experience for generations of Martlets to come. 
 
Class of 2025, leave a transformational legacy at Westminster!
“Part of the ethos of Westminster is a joyful sense of play, a way of being together and creating community and camaraderie. We have been creating spaces that do just that - the Brock, Keyes Patio, the paddle courts, the golf simulator. The multi-phase outdoor rec area is another inspirational space that would call students to community by introducing new opportunities for them to gather, share and play. The Class of 2025 Gift in particular will transform a relatively empty space into one where students will just want to be, where they can both express and enjoy themselves in a multitude of ways and where we can celebrate that sense of play that we intentionally want to sustain, especially in this day and age as students are drawn more and more into their phones and social media.”
