Annual Fund
Since 1963, Randolph School has been a place where curiosity thrives and children grow into confident, compassionate learners. That tradition doesn't happen by accident; it takes exceptional teachers, intentional programming, and a community that believes in what we're building together.
Tuition alone doesn't cover everything that makes a Randolph education special. Your gift directly supports the people and programs at the heart of our school: talented, dedicated teachers; small class sizes; and materials that reflect our values.
Everything you give helps ensure that the next generation of Randolph students experiences the same sense of wonder you've come to know and love.
Support a Special Project
Some gifts go beyond the annual fund to shape Randolph in a lasting, visible way. Special project donations allow you to direct your support toward something specific whether that's enhancing our outdoor learning spaces, updating classroom resources, or bringing a new program to life.
Special projects are announced as needs arise, and we welcome donors who have a particular passion or vision to reach out and start a conversation.
To learn more about current special project opportunities, or share your own ideas, please reach out to Josh Kaplan at josh@randolphschool.org or (845) 297-5600.
Help Us Plaque the Shack!
The Sugar Shack is more than a building. It is a place where generations of children will gather around the steam of boiling sap, learn the rhythms of the forest, and experience the magic of turning maple water into syrup.
You can become part of this story.
Commemorative maple leaf plaques will adorn the Sugar Shack, creating a lasting tribute to the families and community members who helped make this special place possible. Honor a loved one, recognize a teacher who made a difference, celebrate your family, or offer a message of inspiration to the students who will learn here for generations to come.
Each plaque will become part of the Sugar Shack itself; a lasting symbol of the community that sustains Randolph and the traditions that continue to grow here.
Join us in sweetening the future.
Eric’s Evaporator
In 1979, when Eric returned to Randolph, he brought with him his newfound love for sugaring. From the first trees he tapped with children, to those still giving us sap, one thing is clear:
Few people have shaped Randolph as deeply as Eric Tomlins. Through his vision, care, and commitment to children, Eric introduced sugaring to our community, planting what would become one of the school's most beloved traditions.
The seeds Eric planted reach far beyond the sugarbush. They live in the curiosity, confidence, and connection to place that generations of Randolph children have carried with them. Yet nowhere is his spirit felt more strongly than among the maple trees, where each spring reminds us of the sweetness that comes from patience, stewardship, and community.
This campaign honors Eric's enduring legacy and helps ensure that the experiences he helped create will continue to enrich the lives of young people at Randolph for years to come.
*Donors who make a gift of $250 or more will have the opportunity to become a permanent part of this special place through our Plaque the Shack initiative. As a thank you, we'll invite you to add your name or message on a maple-leaf plaque that will be displayed on the Sugar Shack, creating a lasting connection between your generosity and the generations of children who will continue to learn, gather, and make memories there.
After making your gift, a member of our team will follow up with details about your desired inscription.
