Dear Sewall Community,
I am excited to provide an update and thank those of you that have made a contribution toward the teacher support initiative. Your support makes a BIG difference!
We are now 22 days in and reached 29{3636cb0a451a12ed88382a3e0ed28b2223ede70e167d2b3efd87582f6f12e3da} of our goal through the amazing support from our Sewall community! Remember, if $50,000 is raised, each dollar will be generously matched by longtime Sewall supporter, Marilyn Brown. Please make your contribution today. YOU can help us realize an additional $50,000 for our teachers, students, and families.
Here is an example of your impact on our teachers, students, and families:
“Finding Sewall has been the best thing in my life. The Sewall staff was so amazing and supportive when my son was 2 years old and diagnosed with autism. When I was asked if I wanted to sub, I took the job right away and found my life and reason. I have now been here 4.5 years. Sewall has also made an impact on my sister’s life as she is now a Sewall staff member. Not to mention, my niece started at 2 years old and just graduated from preschool at Sewall. Now my 18 month nephew is about to start in the toddler room. Due to having Down Syndrome, he has received early intervention services through Sewall since he was 6 weeks old.
I believe my experiences with children have helped me understand other families’ lives and situations. Due to Sewall and their encouragement, I am now furthering my education by earning my Masters Degree in Early Childhood Special Education at CU Denver.”
Marilyn Shivley, Sewall Teacher
Marilyn Brown is asking the Sewall community to join her by stepping up and supporting our teachers for this coming year! With the current needs that Sewall is facing, she has agreed to match every gift made from now through Colorado Gives Day (December 4th) dollar for dollar up to $50,000 to support our teachers! If we can raise $50,000 from our community, Marilyn will match this with an additional $50,000!
