Supporting Teachers through DonorsChoose

The Misty of Chincoteague Foundation finds great pleasure in supporting teachers through the DonorsChoose Program. Visit DonorsChoose.org. With our contribution we include a message like the following:

Misty of Chincoteague Foundation (MCF) is thrilled to be a part of your project. Our founder and children’s author Marguerite Henry loved young readers and artists. Marguerite loved creating and writing stories. Believe it or not, she used yellow legal pads to write her stories out by hand. As time permits, you might have your students research on Wikipedia the many books that she wrote. Her books are still available in print. I know your students would enjoy reading them. Find out more about our Foundation at www.MistyofChincoteague.org. And our email: MistyofChincoteagueFoundation@gmail.com. All the best to your students as they explore the world through reading.

In Memory of Our Board Members

We cherish the memories of original, founding board members: Arlene Bentley (1933-2018) and Stuart Bentley (1933-2023). As a husband – wife team, they served the Foundation well since its inception in 1990.

We also remember and thank Alex Hubb (1945-2022) for his many years of service on the MCF board as our principal representative on Chincoteague Island.
