To commemorate Frances Sergi’s decades of service to The Kew-Forest School, her family has established The Francis Sergi Memorial Fund.  This Fund honors Frances’ memory by creating and supporting opportunities that embody her passion for education and her deep commitment to student excellence.  Your gift to the Memorial Fund will carry on Frances' name and life's work through supporting Kew-Forest’s faculty professional development, classroom resources, and new curriculum initiatives.

Having spent 40 years as Kew-Forest's beloved fourth grade teacher, Frances taught an entire generation of Kew-Forest students and then went on to teach many of their children. She retired from the classroom at the age of 81 and worked in the School’s development office for an additional seven years.

Frances passed away on June 26, 2016, just a few weeks shy of her 97 birthday.
She graced The Kew-Forest School with her endless optimism and love for life for more than half of the School’s nearly 100-year history.

We invite everyone to share their photos and memories of Frances in a memorial slideshow. Please email your submissions, no later than September 28, 2016, to advancement@kewforest.org.
