Redmond Marriott Please bring this catalog with you to the auction.

Welcome Cedars, Douglas firs, hemlocks ... they are the trees of our woods. Thick, lush and evergreen, they provide the canopy that Little School students have played beneath for decades. Their roots run deep and wide, supporting majestic trunks while inviting new green growth. The Little School is engaged in a parallel human version of this forest evolution. The three-year-olds that begin in the Meadows, tentative and eager, learn and mature as they move to the Woods, getting ready to stand tall to go out on their own. Well, not quite yet! For all our students there are many more years to grow. And we are all lucky to be part of this growth process.

Tonight, we gather for Walk in the Woods – The Little School 2018 Auction. It is a celebration of possibilities, of children learning to stand tall on their own two feet, self-aware, inquisitive, generous and honest. Much like the trees in our woods they adapt and grow a bit each day and each year toward full height. The Auction helps make it possible. As you enjoy the festivities, your friends, the dinner, the cool experiences and amazing class projects, I hope your competitive spirit gets the better of you. I hope you raise your hand (and bid number) high just like the tallest branches on the tallest trees in our woods. Reach up to bring something fun home, and reach up to fund financial aid. Help create the largest financial canopy possible for all our students, and have fun while you are at it!

The kids worked together and often encouraged and complimented one another throughout the processes. Each fish is unique, demonstrating the student’s own individual style and painting technique.

By donating tonight in support of financial aid, you are modeling the compassion and community-mindedness that is such an important part of The Little School’s mission. You are sending a message that a diverse and inclusive community is important to you, and you are making this extraordinary educational opportunity available to as many students and families as possible. You are investing not only in your child, but in all the students at The Little School as we help them develop the skills to become innovative and empathetic leaders.

This year, twenty-one students are able to attend The Little School with the assistance of financial aid. Twenty-one students who, exactly like every other student on our campus, bring their unique personalities, experiences, insights and perspectives to enrich our classrooms and our community. Our students support each other as friends, as classmates, as learners and as buddies, and advocate for one another as they work and grow together every day.

The power of a community is defined by the way in which we connect to one another. You have the power to make a lasting impact. For The Little School – our students, our families, our community – we ask you to raise your paddles high.
