Annual Giving Campaign 2024-25:

 

This year’s annual giving campaign aims to recognize our 25th Anniversary with a new mural to cover the south wall of our courtyard. 

Our vision/theme for the mural is to capture in a big epic flowing "Diego Rivera" style of the "9 Year Arc" of the Village School Experience, spanning kindergarten to 8th grade. The mural would feature
 

• "rites of passage" from each of the grades such as the Rose Ceremony in 1st grade, raising salmon in 4th grade, Greek Games in 5th grade, and Shakespeare in 8th grade, 

• activities from specialty classes 

• iconic events like the Walk-a-Thon, Dia de los Muertos and May Day. 
   

We envision an in-depth design process with painting to begin in late Spring. The artist, Kari Johnson, has done several impressive and noteworthy murals around town. The artworks shown represent samples of her work projected onto the south wall of the courtyard.

Fundraising Goals

We are hoping to raise $12,000 for this campaign. The total cost is expected to be $28,000. Parent Council has already $5,000 to the effort, and we expect other 25th Anniversary fundraisers to bring in an additional $11,000. Please join us in our efforts to create a fabulous mural for our new courtyard.

How The Funds Will Be Used

Funds will be used for preparation of the space and compensating the mural artist, Kari Johnson. We hope to complete the fundraising by February. Other fundraisers including proceeds for a 25th anniversary party in May will also help cover the costs of the mural.

Importance of 100% Participation

The Village School has implemented many major capital projects to improve our site in recent years with pandemic funds. With the expenditure of the last of our pandemic funds this year, we will need more support from families to continue improvements to our site. This is a great opportunity to help your children’s school.​​​​​​​
