Hi Everyone and Happy Spring!! I want to thank those of you who attended the Little Chili last weekend. It was a great success by all measures. I would particularly like to thank Viraj Verma, Kristen Sunkes, Jen Sweeney, Beth Mailley, Tuba Kocabasoglu, Jane Alexander, Jackie Morales, Ginger Jacobs, Lori Milstein and all the room parents for all the effort they put in to make the event such fun. We are also thankful to Ambassador Sergey I. Kislyak and Dr. Vyacheslav Moshkalo for the use of the Russian Embassy.

Thanks also to all of you who bought and sold cookie dough and a huge thanks to Shari Gilbert and Jenny Epstein for organizing this fundraiser to support the 5th grade trip.

Finally, thanks to those of you who have already bought bricks! Mike and Becky Gardner, and the entire Building Community Brick by Brick Committee are doing an amazing job, but we need you to help sell, sell, sell!! The money we raise from the Brick Campaign will be used to purchase books, playground equipment and whatever else the teachers need for our new school. The brick walkway, itself, will serve as a lovely outdoor space at our school and a reminder of how steadfast our community is!

Thanks for your help,

Mimi Laver
Co-president, Stoddert PTA

Little Chili Family Fun Night at the Russian Embassy

anastasia — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:21:53 +0000

It’s a busy and exciting time at Stoddert! We’re getting ready to move back into our permanent school and start new traditions once we do. The Building Our Community Brick by Brick campaign—to raise money to support our students in the new school and bring us all together during our transition—is fully underway. During all this, though, we want to hold onto our wonderful traditions—like CHILI!

This year, we will gather on March 12, 2010, from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. at the Russian Embassy for a Little Chili Family Fun Night. We’ll have games for the kids, a small auction, and—of course—chili to eat. Auction items will include classroom art projects, teacher outings, and a limited number of “big ticket items” like our annual wine table.

Why a Little Chili rather than our usual Big Chili? During this transition year we don’t want to compete with our Brick campaign, but we do want to celebrate our community. We know this evening will be a wonderful way for all of us to come together to enjoy, have fun, and share the beauty of the Russian Embassy.

We hope to see you on March 12—and don’t forget to bring a bottle of wine!

Mimi Laver and Mary McLaughlin, Stoddert PTA Co-Presidents
