MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR Dear Pinewood Community, The red carpet has been rolled out, the Oscars have been polished, and the winning envelopes are under lock and key! I am so excited to share the catalog for the Pinewood 2022 Benefit Auction, OSCAR NIGHT with you! Within its pages, you will find unique opportunities for faculty-led student experiences, getaways to beautiful places offered by our generous community members and exclusive sports packages. As you browse through these lovely items, please remember that all proceeds from this event–online and in person–go toward Pinewood Faculty Professional Development and the Graduate Study Reimbursement Program. I hope you are as thrilled as I am to have this opportunity to support our teachers in their efforts to continue to grow professionally–to become better teachers so they can create the excellent learning environment that is the hallmark of a Pinewood education. During the last two years, Pinewood faculty have worked tirelessly to nurture our children’s minds and hearts in the face of a global pandemic. Your support of the Benefit Auction is one way to thank them for their dedication and hard work. These experiences and items could not have been brought to you without the tireless work of the Auction Committee. I want to thank them for their hard work, partnership and their inspiring creativity. There is no resource more precious than time and talent. I am so grateful that they gave us both so generously. Happy browsing! Bid high and bid often to support the real stars of Pinewood: our Faculty! Koryne Smith Chair, 2022 Benefit Auction
FUND-A-NEED
Fund-A-Need is an outright donation to Faculty Professional Development and the Graduate Reimbursement Program. If you are going to choose one area to support at the Auction, we encourage you to choose this one.
Faculty Professional Development and the Graduate Study Reimbursement Program is a distinctive fund that supports Pinewood’s incredible faculty and staff. The fund provides much-needed resources for ongoing faculty participation in conferences and programs where they learn the best possible ways to create an excellent academic experience for our students. Pinewood faculty pride themselves on being lifelong learners and consistently working to improve their teaching techniques by aligning them with current best practices and research.
Pinewood is also proud to offer a Graduate Study Reimbursement Program through which our faculty can pursue a parttime graduate degree while continuing to teach.
