It’s our SUPERHERO AUCTION, and I thank you for being here to support Virginia Chance School! Supporting the students of Virginia Chance School—“This looks like a job for Superman!” Thank you so much for being a hero to our school and especially to the children of our school! I hope you have a wonderful evening tonight—enjoying time with other parents, grandparents, and friends. Then POW! BAM! AND KA-POW—I hope you win some unique items during the silent auction and outbid others on those very special items during our live auction. I hope you are so SUPER tonight and committed to your children and their school that your bids are frequent and high, knowing that you are not just getting fantastic items, but more importantly, you are helping your child and Virginia Chance School. That is being a HERO. The Auction is the second major fundraiser of our year—that means we depend on the monies raised tonight. Your attendance here and the items you purchase make it possible for our school to turn dreams into realities and for your child to benefit in every area. In the words of Spiderman, “With great power comes great responsibility.” Tonight we will also do something very important and significant for the children of Virginia Chance School. We will have a special time during the live auction when your bids will make it possible for children of all socio-economic levels to be part of our school. The Mary Maple Financial Aid Fund means children whose families cannot afford a Virginia Chance School education will get to learn and go to school just as your own children do. It means your child gets a more diverse community of learners as we open our school to other children and their families. Our goal is for the Mary Maple Financial Aid Fund to enable more children to get this extraordinary independent school education, and you will make a difference by helping us reach this goal. YOU have the great power to give to benefit others. Please join me in thanking Melanie Salsbury, our Auction Chair! She is a real SUPERHERO who has been ZOOMING and CRACKING and putting in many, many months of work to produce this auction. Thank you, Melanie, and the Auction Committee Chairs for doing MIGHTY WORK! Melanie, our Auction Committees and many wonderful parent volunteers worked to make tonight a reality. Brookes Pope, our Development Director, and I are most grateful for you and to you! Each one of you can make this a real SUPER HERO Auction by being a real hero! Bid, get that item, give to the Mary Maple Financial Aid Fund, make a friend and build our Virginia Chance community. Batman said, “It’s not who we are underneath, but what we DO that defines us.” Tonight, you will do mighty, powerful, amazing, super things for Virginia Chance School. I know you are dedicated to your children, their education and their school. May your dedication lead you to an evening of giving generously and having fun on behalf of the children of Virginia Chance School! Just like Superman, may you also say, “I’ll never stop fighting, ever!” I am committed to fighting for our school and want you to join the League! Debbie Houston Head of School 4 MARY MAPLE FINANCIAL AID FUND On the night of February 27th, it is our goal to elevate the Mary Maple Fund to heights it has not seen before. To do this, we want you to know a bit about this VERY important resource for our school. Who was Mary Maple? Mary Maple was a Virginia Chance School parent with three children who started our school as preschoolers and graduated from the program: Justin, Adam and Meredith. Mary was an involved parent, like you, who drove on field trips, helped with class parties and helped her children with homework. She volunteered to help in the office, sub in the classroom and go on the End-of-theYear Trip. Mary lost her battle with cancer in 1995 before her children had graduated. Mary, Mike (her husband), Justin, Adam and Meredith loved Chance School. Because her whole family believed in the mission of the school, the Maple family established the Mary Maple Financial Aid Fund in her memory. Mary’s memory and positive impact on the children and families of Virginia Chance School continues today. Why the need for the Mary Maple Financial Aid Fund? Part of Virginia Chance School’s mission is to attract and retain a diverse community of learners. The Mary Maple Fund underscores the school’s commitment to making Virginia Chance School accessible to families, regardless of their ability to afford this extraordinary independent school education. More families than ever need financial help to send their child to our school. In fact, the amount of financial aid awarded has almost tripled over the last five years. Each year, this fund provides need-based tuition assistance to approximately 17-22 percent of our students. Financial aid is critical to maintaining socio-economic diversity in our school, and we must remain available to families to stay true to the values we want to instill in our students. Some families make dramatic sacrifices to send their children to Virginia Chance School, and even a modest amount of financial aid can have a meaningful impact. How can you help? As is our tradition at our Auction, the night of February 27th, we want you to get to know and be a part of the Mary Maple Financial Aid Fund. We want you to know who Mary Maple was; we want you to hear the impact her life has on our school and students through that Fund; and then we want you to give at whatever level you can to ensure its continued health and growth. Thank you for your generosity and support of The Mary Maple Financial Aid Fund! 5 VOLUNTEERS We are delighted to acknowledge the following individuals who, in addition to the Auction Committee, gave of their time and talent to create a special evening for all to enjoy.
