GLOW hesapeae a cadem nnual uction ala Illuminate their world Invest in an innovative education for our exceptional learners. 23rd Annual Auction & Gala Saturday, February 23rd, 2019 The Westin Virginia Beach Town Center cba-va.org/auction MISSION The mission of Chesapeake Bay Academy is to educate students through academic programs individualized to address their learning differences, empowering them with the skills and confidence necessary for success in higher education, careers and life. “There are two kinds of light - the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.” - James Thurber Dear CBA Friends and Family, Welcome to the Chesapeake Bay Academy Auction and Gala. This annual celebration of the CBA community is always a joy to be- hold as we honor our wonderful children and their families, the great work of our dedicated faculty and staff, and the unwavering commitment of our board of trustees. Tonight, we will bask in the warm “glow” of service to our students and the Hampton Roads Community. The importance of this event to CBA’s continued growth cannot be understated. Each year the proceeds of the auction provide much needed funds to support new programs and initiatives, expanding curricular as well as after-school offerings for our students; the funds facilitate a range of professional development opportunities for faculty and staff to enhance their skills and expertise; And, the event provides scholarship funds that are vital to our ability to serve many students who would oth- erwise be unable to afford this life-changing educational opportunity. Recently there has been much in the news regarding the lack of opportunities in the public sector for students with special learning needs. The lack of adequate funding and general resistance to optimizing educational offerings for students who are in- deed capable of learning but require specialized instructional interventions is truly a national tragedy. It is the “glare that obscures”, leaving our most fragile learners lost and frustrated. CBA faculty, through the combination of instructional expertise, dogged dedication and sincere affection for the children they serve, provide clarity for their students and light the way to a new understanding of themselves and the way they learn. They make success possible where it otherwise would not be found. Many of you here this evening have been integral over the years in moving CBA to the place of prominence it now holds in the educational landscape of Hampton Roads. To you, many thanks for your enduring commitment. You stand like beacons in the darkness. For those of you who are just getting to know CBA, thank you for taking the time to be with us this evening. I invite you to become better acquainted with our community. Please know that you are now a part of something very special, something that cannot be dimmed or obscured, something that glows like the sun to illuminate the hearts and minds of all those who are blessed to be touched by it. Thank you for supporting Chesapeake Bay Academy. Sincerely, Judy Jankowski, Ed.D.
