  • Day of Giving

    On May 12, 2026, we invite you to join us for Tandem’s Day of Giving! This annual effort supports the Tandem Friends Fund, which provides flexible, immediate resources for the people and programs at the heart of the school. Gifts to the Tandem Friends Fund help sustain:
     
    - A welcoming, inclusive community where each student is known, respected, and able to thrive
     
    - Engaged, curiosity-driven learning that encourages critical thinking and a lifelong love of learning
     
    - The school’s ability to respond to emerging needs and opportunities with care and intention

    Whether Tandem is part of your daily life or a cherished memory, your support helps ensure that today’s students experience the same sense of belonging and discovery that has long defined this community. If you’re able, we hope you’ll consider making a gift in honor of Day of Giving.
     
    Stay tuned for more updates on how you can participate and amplify your impact on May 12. Together, we can be the spark that ignites a brighter future for our students.
