Dear Friends and Family,
We again thank you so much for contributing to the Sarah Chidgey Scholarship in Spring Branch I.S.D. The third scholarship was awarded to Macon Boane, a graduate of Stratford High School and former third grade student of “Ms. Chidgey.”
Sarah expressed her desire to be remembered by having scholarships awarded to students who attended Meadow Wood Elementary School and who demonstrate a passion for life, learning, and serving others. As usual, Spring Branch I.S.D. had their annual All Stars Gala (2018) where scholarships were presented to students. It was a time for us to honor Sarah and what she loved - teaching. It was so nice that former students, parents, and staff made a point to introduce themselves to us and share beautiful memories.
The following morning we decided to visit Meadow Wood Elementary School. Sarah would have loved the new campus full of life and learning. The library that was dedicated in Sarah’s memory is such an inviting place and her portrait of her having fun with her students is hanging in a place of honor. It was really special to meet the new principal and reconnect with some of the staff who knew and loved Sarah.
Denise and I just want to be sure you know how much we appreciate your thoughtfulness, caring, and love these past years. Sarah would be proud of the good that is coming from these scholarships and so thankful for each of you in helping make this happen. Enclosed is a picture of Macon and us at the awards presentation. Macon will be attending Texas Tech University as a pre-law student. We believe the $4,000 scholarship will assist him in reaching his ultimate career goal of being an attorney. If you or someone you know would like to contribute to Sarah's scholarship fund, please do so at:
Best wishes and much love.
David and Denise
As Sarah would say, “Shine bright firefly, shine bright!”
Macon Boane with David & Denise Chidgey
Shine bright firefly, shine bright!
