Bea and Will have been friends since Pre-k, which is almost 14 years now. Their moms’ close friendship– fostered at Fieldston decades ago–brought them together. They have seen Fieldston through many eras (#bringbackthetree), and represent their favorite part of the school–the community. They want to give back to the school, not by fixing it, but by making minor adjustments that will enrich the Fieldston experience. We need you to do this. Together, we Will Bea the best!!
