Help Eclipse School Succeed
The most incredible and magical teachers on the planet, Beth Reilly and Shea Morris, are starting their own school - Eclipse School - focusing on that ever important and magical TK year as well as Kinder Readiness and Enrichment Classes for both Preschoolers and Elementary school students. Let's help them get started!
Here is their story:
The pandemic challenged Shea and Beth to reflect, learn, and take action to follow their dreams. So in 2021, they combined their 50 years of teaching experience and encapsulated all of the past year’s emotional lessons into one idea. AND...launched Eclipse School.
Opening a school fulfills a dream for both of them, but this is not the first time they have joined forces. Initially, they started small. After
spending over 14 years as friends and colleagues, their mutual respect for each other grew. Through many conversations about child development, teaching philosophies, and after collaborating on school projects, they realized they wanted to do more together. So, in the spring of 2015, they started a summer camp out of Shea’s backyard, Eclipse Camps.
Eclipse Camps gave them the opportunity to do what they love, while at the same time, allowing them the freedom to create every aspect of the curriculum. The camp was an immediate success. It continues to grow every year, and it still brings them immense joy and freedom. But this past year, they realized once again that they wanted to do more. And Eclipse School was born.
Why We Want to Help:
Beth and Shea have been instrumental in helping and guiding our kids on the beginning of their paths; and, we in turn, want to help them as they begin their journey to start their own school, Eclipse, a dream for both of them.
We know they will give so much to the families and students that become a part of the Eclipse School community. Going out on their own,
starting their own business, starting from scratch is a brave and challenging endeavor.
Let's help them get a great start!
Specifically we would love to help them create a beautiful outdoor classroom, which includes items like:
- A Vegetable Garden
- Mud Kitchen
- Reading Nook Supplies
- Dramatic Play Area
- Sandbox
- Play Kitchen
- Custom built Playhouse
- Large play blocks
- Tables and chairs
- Plants and trees for the kids to help water and take care of
- Play Structures, climbing Wall, etc.
Any donation you can make - big or small - is so incredibly appreciated.
Warmly,
Terin, Missy & Allison
