To Whom It May Concern:
Intro
I would like to introduce you to the Odyssey Academy of Stephen F. Austin Middle School in the Bryan Independent School District. We, of the Odyssey Academy, are seeking your support for the 1st Annual Odyssey Silent Auction.
Program
The Odyssey Academy is Bryan’s premier Science, Math and Technology Magnet school program. The purpose of this program is to allow students to excel in Science, math and technology serving students in the sixth through eighth grades. The Odyssey Academy partakes in classroom instruction and projects that focus on the theme Mission to Mars. With a combined technology effort and opportunities to visit sites such as Space Center, Houston, and participate in activities in conjunction with NASA and the European Space Agency, students and teachers alike, strive for excellence in a unique opportunity of learning for students across the Bryan Community.
Reasons to Contribute
Considering that Bryan I.S.D. is the only school district in the Brazos Valley to offer a magnet school program at a middle school level, many people have credited the Odyssey Academy as one reason for the appreciation of property value in the community. As such, this is a great opportunity for your company to receive exposure while helping to support a crucial educational cause by participating as a donor to our silent auction. As a participating sponsor you will receive: o o o o Reference in all promotional materials Opportunity to include branded items in the event Extended rights to retain sponsorship on a 1-year continuum Recognition of your support in the local media
Enclosed are the details of the sponsorship and participation opportunities for the 1 st Annual Odyssey Silent Auction, which will be held at David Gardner’s Jew elers on Friday, Septem ber 30th.

Classroom – All classes are rigorous at a pre-AP level. In the 8th grade, students may take high school Algebra and have the opportunity receive high school technology credit. Technology – Though technology is a great expense, all students receive laptops allowing the opportunity to immerse themselves in up-to-date software. This is a unique part of what Odyssey Academy has to offer its high achieving and deserving students. Field Trips – The students take fieldtrips based on curriculum and grade level. Examples of fieldtrips are Space Center Houston, Texas A&M Vet School, and Washington on the Brazos. Current and Engaging Projects – The students participate in interdisciplinary projects at all grade levels that incorporate concepts taught throughout the semester in all classes. The teachers also incorporate projects and programs that apply to what is being taught as well as presenting a challenge through competition such as Brazos Best Robotics.

Why Are We Crucial to the Community?
The majority of our students come from homes that have limited experiences. They are also under-represented at institutions of higher learning. Odyssey Academy provides the students with experiences and opportunities to get ahead.
