Biographical / Historical

Plan for the 80s was a campaign to raise capital funds for the school's endowment. The Board of Trustees and headmistress, Joan McMenamin, asked the community to join them in making "a vigorous reaffirmation of commitment to the continued quality of teaching and learning in the School" (from Campaign Report, c. 1983). As of November 1983, when the Campaign Report was published, Plan for the 80s raised $2,208,554.01. Nightingale's endowment increased from $830,000 in June 1980 to $3,056,988 in the final phase of the campaign.
