    NEW HUMANITIES WING — Foxcroft Academy officially broke ground on the Mary Kammerer Fittig Humanities Wing on April 8. Taking part in the ceremony was, from left, Tom Nason, Dana Littlefield, John Wentworth, Ethan Annis, Dwayne Littlefield, Arnold Shorey and Chris McGary.

    The Mary Kammerer Fittig Humanities Wing will add two state-of-the-art classrooms while connecting Foxcroft Academy’s main academic building to its detached Industrial and Fine Arts building, creating an interconnected academic complex and tightening campus security significantly. The new classrooms will be designed as 21st-century learning spaces, with an emphasis on student-centered learning, teacher collaboration, and technology integration.
    Kammerer Fittig, a retired educator who spent 29 years as an elementary school teacher in the inner city of New York, jump-started the wing’s capital campaign with a $200,000 naming gift earlier this year. Those interested in learning about other naming opportunities for this project may contact Foxcroft Academy Assistant Head of School for External Affairs Chris McGary at 564-8351 or chris.mcgary@foxcroftacademy.org.
