Thank You to Our Amazing and Generous Eton Community!

by Monica Maling

Director of Development

A huge thank you to our amazing Eton community for their generous contributions to the 2020-2021 Annual Fund! We raised over $164,000 and had 69% of our current families participate in the Annual Fund. While we always strive to reach 100% current family participation, last year’s participation rate was a very respectable achievement given the unpredictability of the school year as we navigated a new paradigm of educating our children.

The Annual Fund allows Eton to be nimble and responsive to the needs of the moment. Last year, as we navigated the challenges of the pandemic, we were fortunate to be able to offer families a choice between on campus or remote learning. Your donations to the Annual Fund went towards many different things to help bolster and enrich the two different learning environments during that unique year:

Materials and Resources • Teachers purchased materials and resources for classrooms and remote students • Teachers were able to take their students on virtual field trips all over the country. They visited museums and had authors and guest educators come to their classrooms to present on a variety of topics that they studied in class. Software/Technology • Education and subscriptions to new remote learning platforms • A new check-in system and iPads were purchased to facilitate health screenings of students Professional Development • Teachers attended the annual American

Montessori Society’s National Conference.

Participating in conferences and workshops helps their teaching stay progressive and fresh. Facilities Changes to Make Eton Safe • Health and safety training for employees • Medical grade air purifiers for each classroom/common area • Masks, hand sanitizer, and thermometers for classrooms • Additional general cleaning supplies increased cleaning in classrooms, restrooms, and common areas with more frequent deep cleaning • Pop-up tents for every grade level for outdoor learning Eton School Parent Council (EPC) Budget • Provided for guest educators and sponsored events such as Family Game Night and All

School Family Ice Skating. • Supported two parent education evenings where specialists spoke on relevant topics. • Assisted in the hosting of virtual events for families and the sending home of treats for Halloween and the Lunar New

Year to every student.

I am truly grateful for being a part of the Eton community. Last year, as we conducted meetings and events through Zoom, I was continually amazed at the dedication and enthusiasm of parents/guardians. They worked incredibly hard to virtually create connections and build community, not letting the fact that we could not gather in person dissuade them. They persisted throughout the year, connecting with one another through the EPC Coffees, EPC meetings, movie watch parties, Halloween and Lunar New Year celebrations, and the Learning Events. We are incredibly grateful to our parents/guardians, who put their Zoom fatigue aside to help facilitate this fantastic community building!

Thank you very much! ❧
