Children’s Challenge

The Children’s Challenge

Each year at the Bonne Chance Auction, we invite our entire community to come together to celebrate Goal 4: the building of community as a Christian value and to support Goal 2: a deep respect for intellectual values by participating in the Children’s Challenge.

The Children’s Challenge makes a difference in the lives of our students and the life of our School. With the generosity of our attendees and donors, we advance our Sacred Heart mission through both desired and needed projects such as academic enrichment, endowment strength, and capital improvements.

, The Saints Endowed Fund supports all aspects of our educational experience from academic programming and professional development to scholarships and financial aid. This Fund promotes fiscal strength and sustainability, and it is invested within the endowment portfolio providing Head of School Dr. Dawn Nichols and the Board of Trustees greater flexibility in short and long-term planning.

Also this year, we are placing an emphasis on the continued excellence of our Science curriculum. This encompasses student and faculty resources, classroom and student learning materials, hands-on experiential programming, and professional development for grades JK3 through Grade 12. Vertical alignment is integral to our Sacred Heart education, and our faculty partner closely to provide cross-curricular learning environments.

Your gift ensures that the transformative educational experience Villa Duchesne offers continues to thrive. Please give in support of your students through The Saints Endowed Fund promoting opportunities and experiences that will shape their future.

Ensure Villa’s today and tomorrow are stronger than ever!
