Danny Kramer

In just a few short months, I have come to learn that Village

is a generous and supportive school filled with resilient people of the highest character. Our students grow and thrive in warm and inspiring classrooms with teachers who care deeply about reaching every learner. Seeing many of our Village kids at camp this summer and watching them explore, investigate, laugh and connect reminds me why we do what we do. Successful fundraising begins with heart and an audacious ambition.

Last year, Village set out to raise $800K in 100 days and we did it resoundingly! Raising our paddles at the spring fundraiser enabled us to purchase a brand-new state of the art play structure that is already bringing great joy and imagination to our kids, and helped us improve many nooks and crannies of our campus. The impact of your gifts can be felt throughout our school at every turn.

The pages of this annual report are populated with smiling faces and names of our generous and kind supporters. The connection between your support and our students’ success is easy to see. I urge you to take a moment to read through this report. Know that your contributions make so much possible and there is still so much more we can and will accomplish together.

Thank you to all of our parents, grandparents, trustees, faculty and staff, alumni, parents of alumni, friends, and volunteers. You have all made a difference in the lives of our children. Until we meet each other in person, please know that I am eager to partner with you.
