Dear Danvers Resident:

We are writing to elicit your interest and support for the Danvers

Education Enrichment Program, known as DEEP. Our goal is to provide

Danvers students with opportunities to enhance the quality of their

education.

As a member of the community, your positive attitude and involvement are

crucial to the success and continuous improvement of the public schools.

DEEP wants you to be aware of programs in the Danvers school system,

which are in operation or being introduced, as well as plans for future

projects.

On behalf of the DEEP Board of Directors, we invite you to become a

member of our community/school/business partnership.

Please join us and participate in preparing students for the challenges

of the future at home and in the global economy.

You may choose to make a financial contribution or to share your time

and expertise, as well, for the benefit of our schoolchildren. Certain

members of the Danvers business community have given us much needed

initial assistance. We believe that the time has come for every citizen

of Danvers to assist this effort.

Many towns have successfully implemented similar programs, and their

students are reaping the benefits. We know that with your help, Danvers

will succeed, too.
