SPRING FLING WELCOME
Welcome to the 2013 Little Wonders Spring Fling!
On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff, I would like to thank you for supporting Little
Wonders tonight. The Spring Fling is a fun evening out and our most important fundraising event
of the year. The funds raised at this event represent a significant portion of our school’s operating
budget and enable us to retain our incredible teachers, maintain our beautiful facility, and provide
new developmental toys and learning materials for the classroom.
As in years past, we will have a “Fund-a-Need” program tonight, which gives you the opportunity
to make donations directly towards the support of specific programs and purchase of specific
items for the school. This year’s Fund-A-Need items include a SLR camera, financing our
participation in municipal composting, and some fun new items for the classroom (a tree houselike dollhouse) and outdoor play area (some new ride toys). You can also make a donation to our
WonderWork Fund, which provides tuition scholarships and assistance to Little Wonders’ families
experiencing personal and medical hardships. I hope everyone will find something they would like
to support.
Many people worked tirelessly to create this special evening! I would like to thank Sara
Vierra and Stacey Finney, our Spring Fling Co-Chairs, for their tremendous efforts in organizing
this event, as well as our Auction Co-Chairs, Susan Shih and Alisa Ames, and our Contributions
Co-Chairs, Susanna Prion, Sharon Tzeng, and Sarah Kinahan, for the countless hours they spent
making sure our auction is a success. Special thanks also go to the many parents on the Auction,
Contributions, Packaging and Spring Fling Committees, and our Auction Booklet Coordinators.
And a heartfelt thank you to our Board members, Krysta North Lapcevic, Events Chair,
and Jacquie Cooke Haggarty, Development Chair for their incredible vision and leadership. This
was a small but very dedicated group of parents, and we cannot say how grateful we are for your
dedication.
Lastly, I would like to thank all of the donors and event sponsors, many of whom are Little
Wonders parents, alumni and friends for their generous support! It has been amazing to see the
collaboration and commitment on the part of so many of our parents that has led up to this
wonderful event!
Thank you all for joining together this evening to support Little Wonders!
With sincere appreciation,
Kristin Pepper

FUND-A-NEED AND WONDERWORK
It takes a lot to run a school as special as Little Wonders. Payroll, rent, insurance and maintenance
expenses consume the bulk of your tuition and fundraising dollars. Each year, however, a relatively small
portion of the Little Wonders budget is allocated for what you might call the “icing on the cake”: new toys
for the classroom, classroom improvements, scholarship funds and special parent education night
speakers. You can contribute directly to the icing, allowing Little Wonders to provide even more
opportunities for your children and your family. The Board of Directors and Staff have identified a wish
list they would love to see funded for the 2013-2014 school year.
You can contribute to these initiatives by either 1) donating the value of an entire Fund-A-Need Item by
listing the item and amount on the bid sheet, or 2) donating a cash pledge of any amount (no donation is
too small!) on the Fund-A-Need bid sheet. Your contribution is tax-deductible, will go directly towards
funding these wish list items and will be added to your invoice at checkout. Unable to make the event this
year? You can still contribute to these important efforts. Please email [email protected]
with your pledge – marked Fund-A-Need or WonderWork – and place a check for any amount in the
envelope in the Development mailbox at school.
Little Wonders thanks you in advance for your support, which is 100% Tax Deductible

Contributions to this special fund will be used to provide full and partial tuition scholarships for
the coming school year, and also grants to families with significant hardships such as medical
illness, family crisis, and other special needs. On behalf of all these families, we THANK YOU in
advance for your compassion and generosity.
