Alumni Spotlight:
Global Community Service: Dilegge ’06 Visits Panama on Medical Mission
A calling to experience life in another country and to put to use her own knowledge led Sara Dilegge ’06 to volunteer with the Global Medical Training Program over her spring break from Smith College. She ventured to Panama and helped conduct clinics for indigenous people in small mountain villages in the rain forest. Sara is majoring in biology and has spent the last two summers assisting former FA parent Dr. Steven Atwood at his veterinary clinic on Martha’s Vineyard. This experience sparked her interest in human medicine as well.

Help FA build a better website...and win sponsorship of the new alumni home page for a year!
All new and increased gifts to the Annual Fund will be met by an anonymous friend of the school's, who will donate half the cost of redesigning the web site. The class with the highest participation in the challenge will win the page sponsorship. New and increased gifts and pledges will be accepted through the end of the fiscal year, June 30th.
There are other ways you can help FA as well. Check out the Alumni Volunteer Opportunities and be a mentor or judge for the Science Fair, or share your expertise in the classroom.
Connect with other alumni and your former teachers at alumni events, like the Alumni Soccer Game the day after Thanksgiving, or by networking at regional gatherings.
