THE SHARON COOPERATIVE SCHOOL INC
Mission Statement
Fall 2014 Dear Sir or Madam: ?Every year, the Sharon Cooperative School looks for new ways to enrich its children’s lives. This winter, we will be holding our 12th Annual Auction on March 15th, an exciting online event where families and friends far and wide bid on items generously donated by companies like yours. Last year, we raised over $8000, which was used to provide tuition assistance, create a Spanish language program in our four preschool classrooms and to purchase MacBook Airs for our classrooms for teacher and student use. Without the support of our generous donors, these funds would not have been available. ?With your assistance, we want to meet the School’s goal of raising $10,000 in 2015. These funds will enable the School to continue to provide tuition assistance as requested, to continue Spanish language programming for our 3-5 year olds, and allow for classroom and playground improvements. Please consider donating a service and/or an item to this year’s auction on March 15th. The Sharon Cooperative School is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit preschool serving 59 children from 8 communities. Your generous donation will be prominently displayed in our online auction through Bidding For Good. We will also provide a link for your business on sharoncoop.org for a year. Please mail your donation to the school directly at 29 North Main Street, Sharon, MA 02067, Attn: Abigail Marsters. Our EIN # is 200525171. If you have any questions or would like further information about the auction or our School, please contact our Executive Director, Abigail Marsters at (781) 784-2966 or at sharoncoop@me.com. Thank you in advance for your support. Sincerely, Abigail Marsters?Kevin Andrade Abigail Marsters?Kevin Andrade Executive Director?Board of Directors
