The Village Nursery School
Dear
Friend of The Village Nursery School:
As a fellow parent of a Village Nursery School graduate
we know better than most the truth in the old adage “it takes a village to raise a child.” In this
case it is the “Village” Nursery School and its faculty who have cultivated an enthusiasm for
education in our children’s lives. Regardless of how long it has been since our children came home
wearing mud and paint on their clothes and smiles across their faces we are all still part of the
“village.” It is for this reason that we write in hopes that you will consider joining our brick
drive fundraiser to commemorate 20 years since the opening of the school’s permanent home at 40 Poor
Farm Road.
Founded in 1953 by local parents The Village Nursery School has a long history of
community and family involvement. In the 1950s and 60s parents hand crafted the inside and outside
equipment used in the original two buildings, in the 1990s they oversaw the planning and
construction of the school’s present building, and still today they are the muscle behind the annual
fall and spring cleanups. Grandparents read in the classroom, parents serve as trustees, older
siblings return as guest speakers while younger siblings long for their chance to stay and play, and
in turn, veteran teachers become family as honorary aunts. The Village Nursery School is truly a
special place.
The aim of our current brick drive fundraiser is to both repave the front
entry walkway of the school with personalized bricks from alumni donors like you and to update the
building to accommodate the needs of its ever-growing student population. In return for your
contribution you will not only be represented on a permanent piece of the footpath leading up to the
doors of the school but your donation will help continue the mission of the school.
We hope that you will join us and other local families in continuing to nurture our village.
