Congratulations to this year’s “Take Flight” grant recipients!
Three of our recipients will be at our All-School Community Meeting on Thursday, 3/15 to receive their awards—come out and congratulate them! What an inspiration it is to see our young people moving forward in such meaningful ways. We are honored to help them on their journeys. We wish each of them well and look forward to hearing about their successes!
The DVWS Take Flight Grant is an annual grant for alumni of Da Vinci / Water's Edge Waldorf School, and is normally capped at $250 for one winner per year. Many thanks to the anonymous donor who stepped up and made up the difference, allowing for four recipients this year.
