This fall marks the 49th year that the School has been fulfilling its mission to "take children seriously." As we look forward to our 50th anniversary, it is hard not to reflect on our history and celebrate how much we have to be proud of. The School's pioneering philosophy has led the institution from a strong start as an early Montessori school to being the first "green" school building in the state. The recent transformation of our campus has strengthened our commitment to providing young children with the very best learning experience. The School's physical plant fully expresses our core values and beliefs about the importance of the early years. Moreover, the breadth and depth of our curriculum, the excellence and professionalism of our staff, our measured yet sophisticated use of technology, and the devotion and involvement of current and past parents have made this all possible. Today we are asking you to make a pledge to the Annual Fund so that we can continue doing our best. Annual giving is essential for our financial health—without this source of revenue, The Children's School would not function, much less thrive. Just what does the Annual Fund support? Put simply: Everything! From maintaining our beautiful campus to supporting the Scholarship Fund and allowing us to broaden our reach and offer our programs and services to more children, every dollar raised is an investment in the School's ability to remain in the forefront of early childhood education. The Children's School is a vibrant place, one that has remained true to its mission in the midst of great change—a school that continues to push itself along the continuum of good to great. The School EFTA00400683 cannot fulfill these standards of excellence without your support. Please join us as we continue to pioneer new methods of teaching and learning from young childhood.
