Dear Ms. Shore:
We want to thank you for your donation to our “Taste of Braintree” fundraiser this year. The success of an event such as this depends on many things, especially the kindness of individuals and businesses that support our efforts and generously donate to our silent auction. We couldn’t have done it without you!
Approximately 1,000 people attended this special event - more than triple the number of last year. I have enclosed a copy of our event brochure.
With this year’s proceeds, the Parent Involvement Program was able to sponsor a Braintree High School team to compete at the National Robotics Competition in Atlanta, Georgia. We are proud to say that they placed 3rd among 53 teams nationwide. With this being their first time - what an awesome accomplishment! We also plan on continuing with our middle schools’ robotics teams, with this year being able to sponsor a novice team and an advanced team at each middle school.
Besides funding the MCAS tutoring program for our fourth graders, we are pleased to have another opportunity to enrich the education of the children of Braintree. The sixth graders will be able to participate in a tutoring program in preparation for their math MCAS tests. We strongly believe in supporting math, science and technology programs. With your help this year, we were able to expand these programs and many others.
Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous donation, which helped to make this day an extremely successful one for the children of Braintree.
Sincerely yours,
PARENT INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM
Joanne Ciarmataro, Director
