Evergreen’s 50th Anniversary Gala Auction • 2

Welcome to 1964

Dear Families and Friends:

1964 was a year that saw dramatic changes in the political, cultural, and

artistic landscape of America. It was also the year a small Montessori

School was founded in a barn in Chevy Chase.

Tonight, we celebrate the year 1964, the school Evergreen, and all the

children who have called the school their home.

At its core, Evergreen is a place for children to grow together into

thoughtful, joyful, and virtuous citizens of the world. It is fitting that our

benefit is a celebration of our children, our community, and our school.

Planning this event took countless hours of work by a large group of

dedicated volunteers. From decorations to catalogs, ticket sales, Love

Notes, ads, food, beverages, and logistics, I deeply appreciate everyone’s

tireless effort.

We have many wonderful items to offer. Please bid generously, as

Auction proceeds directly support classroom programs and special

projects—and ultimately our children. Enjoy the evening!

Sincerely,

John DeMarchi

Head of School
