Field Elementary Annual Fund 2021
Direct-Ask Campaign Daily Updates~ Tuesday, January 19th
Eugene Field Elementary
Hello Field Community!
We are Sharon Chen and Paul Nerenberg, and as co-chairs of the Annual Fund, we’re excited to lead Field Elementary’s 2020-21 Annual Fund Direct-Ask Campaign.
A little bit about us: Sharon has a third grader, a kindergartener, and an almost two-year-old. Paul has a third grader and a five-year-old. Like you, we chose Field for our kids because we believe in the value of a dual language immersion program (how amazing is it that our kids are becoming fluent in Mandarin Chinese, one of the most difficult languages to learn?!), and because with a strong, dedicated community, great things can – and do – happen.
A little bit about the direct-ask campaign: Our challenge this year is to raise at least $88,888. (In Mandarin the number 8 is a lucky number associated with prosperity.) In previous years our goal has been higher, but this is no ordinary year. We are all facing different challenges, and we hope that you will continue to support our kids and our school in a meaningful and realistic way. Every contribution, no matter the amount, is valued and important. Donate here: www.fieldaf.com
The Annual Fund has historically contributed to the excellence of our 90:10 MDLIP by funding essential staff positions at our school, ranging from our librarian to our bilingual instructional aides to our community assistant. As we fundraise for the 2021-22 school year, we are thinking about what it will mean to be back on campus after more than a year of distance learning: a fresh start, new beginnings, and new opportunities. With your donations, the Annual Fund, the School Site Council, and Ms. Tucker will focus on MDLIP and co-curricular support, student academic support, social/emotional and behavioral support, and campus beautification initiatives.
We encourage everyone to read our FAQ guide for all things Annual Fund-related. In it you will find a list of incentives for each donation level, learn about additional donation incentives, why giving at a public school is critically important, and much more. We hope that with your help we can continue to offer all of our kids an enriching, educational, and happy, and safe Field experience.
We are proud to be part of such a unique school community. Please help us maintain this level of excellence by contributing to the Annual Fund and do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.
Lastly, a sincere thank you to the following families who have donated since Friday’s kickoff:
The family of Edward Hegger (4th grade)
The family of Helena Hopkins (1st grade)
The family of Chenting Liu (4th grade) and Wylie Tran (Kinder)
The family of Snowden and David Yamaguchi (2nd grade)
The family of Logan and Jackson Joe (1st grade)
The family of Tessa Hwang (Kinder)
The family of Kai-Min Parmar (5th grade)
With gratitude,
Sharon Chen and Paul Nerenberg

尊敬的Field小学的社区成员:
您好!
我们是年度基金联合主席Sharon Chen 和 Paul Nerenberg。能够牵头组织开展Field小学2020—2021学年年度基金筹款活动让我们感到很兴奋。
我们自己的一些情况介绍:Sharon有一个上三年级的孩子,一个上幼儿园的孩子和一个快两岁的孩子。Paul有一个上三年级的孩子和一个五岁的孩子。和您一样,我们为自己的孩子选择到Field小学就读,因为我们相信双语沉浸式计划具有重要价值。(我们的孩子逐渐学会流利使用世界上最难掌握的其中一种语言——中文普通话是多么令人惊叹啊!)此外,这也是因为一个具有奉献精神的强大社区会促使了不起的事情发生,而且确实如此。
筹款活动的一些情况介绍:我们今年面临的挑战是要筹款至少8.8888万美元。(在中国文化里,数字8是一个象征繁荣和富裕的幸运数字。)此前数年,我们的筹款目标比这个更高,不过今年的情况不同寻常。我们所有人都面临着挑战,我们希望您根据您的实际情况继续为我们的孩子和学校提供重要的支持。无论数额大小,每笔捐款都很重要,我们珍视每一笔捐款。请在这里捐款:www.fieldaf.com。
年度基金一直以来都在为我们学校的重要教职员工岗位提供资金,包括图书馆管理员、双语助教和社区助理等,为开展高质量的90:10普通话双语沉浸式计划做出贡献。在为2021—2022学年筹款之际,我们同时也在考虑这对一年多的远程教学过后返回校园意味着什么——它会带来崭新的开始和全新的机遇。年度基金、学校校务委员会和Tucker女士将把您的捐款用于如下重点领域,包括普通话双语沉浸式计划和联课活动支持、学生学习支持、社会/情绪和行为支持,及美化校园的项目。
我们建议每个人都读一读our FAQ guide for all things Annual Fund-related (我们的年度基金所有相关事项常见问题解答指南)。您在其中会找到关于每个捐款级别奖励机制的信息,了解附加的捐款奖励措施,理解为何向公立学校捐款至关重要,还会获知其他内容。希望在您的帮助下,我们能够继续让所有的孩子都在Field小学拥有快乐安全、丰富多彩的学习体验。
作为如此独一无二的学校社区的成员,我们深感自豪。请您为年度基金捐款,帮助我们保持这种优秀的水准。如果您有任何疑问,请随时联系我们。
最后,我们想向自筹款活动上周五启动以来已经捐款的如下家庭致以诚挚的谢意:
The family of Edward Hegger (4th grade)
The family of Helena Hopkins (1st grade)
The family of Chenting Liu (4th grade) and Wylie Tran (Kinder)
The family of Snowden and David Yamaguchi (2nd grade)
The family of Logan and Jackson Joe (1st grade)
The family of Tessa Hwang (Kinder)
The family of Kai-Min Parmar (5th grade)
谢谢!
Sharon Chen 和 Paul Nerenberg敬启
