By Lina Kulkarni Politano, D.D.S.; M.S. D'Evelyn Graduate and Member of D'Evelyn Education Foundation Board of Directors D’Evelyn students are held to rigorous academic and behavioral standards in a challenging academic program. Once completed, each D’Evelyn graduate becomes part of an even more elite group, D’Evelyn Alumni! All D'Evelyn graduates are invited to commemorate their achievement with an engraved brick in the D’Evelyn Graduate brickyard. The graduate brickyard is located in the courtyard on the West side of the school by the cafeteria. Bricks are intended to highlight the commitment of graduating students who received an excellent education at D’Evelyn and to choose to pay that forward with a donation. Donors may choose to designate fund in excess of brick expenses ($22 in 2018) towards the part of school that has had the greatest impact on their D’Evelyn experience: this could be Athletics, Arts, Mock Trial or another specific student sponsored activity. Funds not designated will also be put to good use benefitting D’Evelyn Students via the D’Evelyn Education Foundation. Order your brick here: http://develyneducationfoundation.weebly.com/graduate-brickyard.html D’Evelyn Education Foundation is planning a celebration in honor of a Quarter Century of Academic Excellence. Parents, Staff and D’Evelyn Alumni are invited to attend our Annual Auction on Friday, November 9th at the Baldoria Event Center in Lakewood. Plans include a Beer Garden, sponsored by Bierstadt Lagerhaus, dinner, games, entertainment and more! We have three great ways you can help us celebrate 25 years! 1. Sponsorship. We are seeking sponsors for this fun-filled evening, and you can become a sponsor for as little as $125! Does your company participate in a gift-matching program? That’s an easy way to double your charitable donation! Are you a business owner? Do you know of a friend or relative looking to market their new business? Do you want to show your appreciation for our wonderful staff? 2. In-Kind Donations. We are seeking donations of all types of items for auction! Our acquisitions team has been hard at work collecting in-kind donations from local businesses. This is a great way to promote a product and a business! A few ideas include:
