Tonight we will celebrate the progress of our educational setting and our students of past, present and future. It is also an opportunity to honor those who have taught and made decisions on behalf of children for decades. It is a time to recognize those who implement change and growth within our students and school. It is a chance to acknowledge those who built and support Erie Day School, one student, one concrete block at a time. It is also a moment to take a glimpse into the future of our school and deliver a charge to those who will help us impact our role in the community, particularly during a time so unsure for many. In the spirit of celebration we would like to acknowledge each of you for making history with us tonight. The genesis of the early childhood lobby, gymnasium, and locker rooms is certainly a milestone for EDS. We extend gratitude to all of our sponsors, donors, volunteers and attendees. Your support is invaluable and will be used to expand not only our educational setting but also our student body. We are proud of the remarkable history of Erie Day School over the past 87 years. We recognize that we could not continue our mission without the contributions of our donors, contractors, allies, partner providers, students, parents, staff, faculty, Trustees, and educational peers.
