Our Future, Our Severn: A Promise, is a more than a campaign. It is a promise we made when Severn became a Preschool through 12th grade school in 2013 in our merger with Chesapeake Academy. For the past decade, we have delivered on our promise to invest in the people and programs that serve our youngest learners. Today, we fulfill the second half of our promise to invest in our facilities and provide a state-of-the art Lower School where our mission can flourish with the opening of the George '49 and Barbara Cromwell Lower School.
Through the support of incredible donors and our Severn community in reaching our $25.5 million campaign goal, we proudly open the doors to our new Lower School -- an environment where our youngest learners thrive and we honor the great work of those who teach, coach and mentor our students.
Please enjoy this timeline video recap of our campaign, the building of our new campus, and the fulfillment of our promise to each other.
