“I loved Hewitt and it helped make me the outspoken, intelligent, and empowered woman I became. I loved every one of my teachers and how they treated each student by looking for the good in all of us.” - Nikki Finke ’71 (1953-2022), Member of The Daffodil Society. 
 

Planned gift donors who notify Hewitt of their intentions will be invited to become a member of The Daffodil Society. Members will receive special recognition and updates on the impactful ways their contributions are making a difference at Hewitt, both today and in the future. Additionally, members will receive special invitations to events at the School. 

The Daffodil Society honors our School’s founder Caroline Hewitt, and derives its name from her favorite flower. Ms. Hewitt was a lifelong Shakespearean scholar, and each year she commemorated Shakespeare’s birthday by leading her students to Central Park to recite sonnets and place daffodils at the base of the playwright's statue. Members of The Daffodil Society play a vital role in securing Hewitt’s future and ensuring that our mission thrives and endures for generations to come.
