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
