***NO DONATIONS FOR SCHOLARSHIPS HERE***

Every student deserves a champion; a teacher who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best they can possibly be. Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire. Students must be taught how to think, not what to think. A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.

All of this and more encompasses the spirit and legacy of Vernon High School's Brenda Beebe over the many years that she dedicated her life to teaching students. She was admired, respected, and loved not only by all the many students over the years but also by other school colleagues, locals and people all over the area.

The signers of this petition all have the same admiration and love for Brenda Beebe and we wanted to present to the Vernon Independent School Board a legacy request to have the Little Theatre located inside Vernon High School be renamed the Brenda Beebe Theater.

In the words of Lin-Manuel Miranda, Broadway Playwrite, “Legacy. What is a legacy? It’s planting seeds in a garden you never get to see.”
