A letter of thanks from Spring Street School…
To the Editor:
Wow! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the 2014 Spring Street International School auction to support scholars and scholarships.
In addition to financial support, this wonderful community event helped raise awareness that tuition scholarships are vital to support Spring Street’s mission to provide local families with educational choice.
Most impressive was the outpouring of support for our new Rwanda Scholars program. As a direct result, we have already reached out to our partner school, the Gashora Girls Academy, to invite a second Rwandan student to attend Spring Street in preparation for entrance at a US college or university.
Our new venue, Brickworks, worked out beautifully, and the food was delicious.
Hats off to everyone who participated—sponsors, businesses, institutional partners, individual donors, chefs, setup and teardown crews, musicians, families, faculty, students, and attendees—for a job exceptionally well done.
How lucky are our students, especially our boarding students from abroad, to experience first-hand what a community can do when it pulls together.
Sincerely,
Laura Holden
2014 SSIS Auction Chair and SSIS Trustee
