Celebrate 20 Years with Us!

As we celebrate a remarkable milestone—our school’s 20th anniversary—I’m filled with gratitude and pride. For two decades, we have grown, learned, and thrived together, thanks to the dedication, generosity, and spirit that define our community.

As we reflect on all we have accomplished, and all the ways we have grown, we’re also looking ahead to the future with a renewed commitment to excellence. We are a school that prides itself on not being dependent on fundraising for our basic operations budget. That said, the generous donations of our community members each year empower us to go above and beyond—supporting our teachers, enriching our programs, improving our buildings, and ensuring that every student and family feels both safe and supported. Simply put, we couldn’t do all that we do without your generosity and support, and we are grateful for your contributions.

This year, we're directing our fundraising efforts toward what families have told us matters most: maintaining a safe and secure environment for our students and staff. As our city has grown, your feedback affirms how much you value our thoughtful approach to campus safety, including our professional security team—a service not commonly found in schools of our size. Our partnership with Watchmen Protective Services reflects our unwavering commitment to providing the peace of mind every family deserves, and your support makes this possible.

To celebrate our progress and rally support for this priority, we’re launching our annual fundraising campaign, culminating in our much-anticipated annual fundraising event, this year on March 7th. This year’s event will be extra special, with a 20th Birthday Party theme to honor our journey and the bright future ahead. Expect a lively evening with the return of Afro-Colombian funk band Superfónicos, delicious tapas, a full bar, a vibrant silent auction, and plenty of fun as we come together to support our school and one another.

We invite you to join us in this exciting milestone year. Every contribution—large or small—helps us continue creating the nurturing, inspiring environment that makes our school community so exceptional.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your generosity, partnership, and belief in our vision and mission to make the world a better place through the education of the young child. Together, we’ve built something truly remarkable—and the best is yet to come.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Lisl
