Dear Parents and/or Guardians,
I am thrilled to write to you today, not just as the Auction Chair, not just as a Morningside parent, but also as a Morningside alumna. I graduated from Morningside some 23 years ago. When my daughter started having trouble in school, I knew just who to call. Now she is thriving and loves learning. I am so thankful to Morningside. Now I have the opportunity to show my gratitude through this year's Auction/Gala.
This is a fun evening celebrating and honoring Morningside Academy, its Founder, Dr. Kent Johnson, its Associate Director, Dr. Joanne Robbins,
and the dedicated teachers and staff that are helping our children grow. Education is their passion and this is our chance to celebrate them.
If you are a new parent, you are most likely rejoicing in your child's development so far. If you are a returning parent, you are just as excited to see the growth your child will have again this year. I encourage you to use this joy and enthusiasm to make this event the best yet. The more money raised, the more children and families will be given a chance to experience Morningside Academy as you are today. It will also help in strengthening the school foundation so that, 23 years from now if needed, other alumni will know whom to call.
I hope you all will join me for good food, good cheer, and good company as we raise our glasses in thanks to a school and community that are close to all of our hearts.
If you have any question big or small, feel free to contact me at celebration@morningsideacademy.org.
