I’d like to take a moment to highlight some of Villa’s achievements over the past two years that could not have been possible without your ongoing support and generous giving.

• All of our teachers are now trained in PAF (an Orton-Gillingham based reading program) and SMARTS (an executive function skills program).

• Our partnership with the Bartlett Arboretum has expanded to our inclusion on the Pollinator Pathway and Monarch Butterfly Joint Venture.

• Our main entrance has been renovated, and a new STEM Lab and Art Room (with a kiln) have been created.

• The first floor was updated with new paint and carpet.

• Lunch and after school clubs now include karaoke, gardening, yoga, dance, fall sports, jewelry, board games and pickleball.

• We designed and piloted a Social, Emotional, Language and Learning (SELL) class to explicitly teach social communication and problem-solving skills.

The Annual Fund is the cornerstone of our fundraising efforts. Contributions from parents, grandparents, staff, alumni, trustees, and friends support Villa Maria’s Mission by building a necessary bridge between tuition dollars and the full cost of educating each child. Your gifts allow Villa Maria to deliver a transformative learning experience to each of our students by ensuring that Villa’s Faculty is equipped with the most up-to-date knowledge and tools to meet each child’s individual learning needs.

Every donation makes a difference and high donor participation is a testament to the strength of our community and the commitment to each student’s experience. Our unique educational mission is only possible with support from community members like you!
