Welcome to <strong>the</strong> 2012 <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Ball</strong>, <strong>the</strong> annual fundraising<br />
and friend-raising gala of <strong>the</strong> Charles H. Bullock School<br />
(<strong>the</strong> “<strong>Green</strong> School”) in <strong>Montclair</strong>, New Jersey.<br />
“Let’s Play!” is tonight’s <strong>the</strong>me, as we raise funds to enhance <strong>the</strong><br />
indoor and <strong>out</strong>door play experience for our children. After all, it’s<br />
through creative play that children truly learn, grow and flourish!<br />
Watch <strong>the</strong> slideshow tonight to see images of <strong>the</strong> driveway stencils,<br />
free-form climbing structures, vine tunnel and <strong>out</strong>door drums and<br />
chimes that are part of our vision for <strong>the</strong> CHB play space.<br />
Tonight we honor our magnificent staff, especially Dr. Barbara Elder<br />
Weller, founding principal of <strong>the</strong> Charles H. Bullock School, who was<br />
recently promoted to Assistant Superintendent of <strong>Montclair</strong> Schools.<br />
We will miss her strong leadership and dedication to our children.<br />
Thank you all for making miracles of learning happen in our<br />
classrooms every day!<br />
