Trinity Valley School Announces $5 Million
Challenge Grant from the Amon G. Carter Foundation
Fred Disney, President of
Trinity Valley School’s
Board of Trustees, an-
nounced last Friday receipt
of a five-million-dollar chal-
lenge grant from the Amon
G. Carter Foundation of Fort
Worth. No details about the
specific terms of the chal-
lenge were given, but Disney
said that the grant would trig-
ger a major capital
fundraising campaign to re-
locate Trinity Valley School
by 1998.
Ruth Carter Stevenson,
President of the Amon G.
Carter Foundation, said,
“How I wish that every child
in this country could have a
Trinity Valley School avail-
able for his or her aptitudes.
“Being from the school of
‘it’s better to light one candle
than to curse the darkness,’
this challenge grant from the
Amon G. Carter Foundation
is a beginning, and this is a
proud moment for our direc-
tors and staff as we make this
announcement today. The
Foundation continues in a
tradition of building on
strengths, as we strive to ful-
fill a mission dear to my
father’s heart the best pos-
sible education for our young.
“Our children and grand-
children are such precious
treasures. All of us want
them to have the tools to un-
derstand their changing
world, and to have the confi-
dence to live lives that are of
their own making and their
own commitment and their
own dreams.”
As background, Disney
reviewed highlights of two
years of long-range study and
planning by the School’s
Trustees, which finally led
us to the inescapable conclu-
sion that the campus of the
future needed to be relocated
to a larger site. The School
has experienced phenomenal
enrollment growth and pro-
gram expansion in the last
five years, and we have sim-
ply outgrown our campus to
the point where more reno-
vations and upgrades are not
financially acceptable."
In response to the School’s
overcrowded conditions,
Trinity Valley School was
given a 62-acre parcel of land
(at the intersection of Bryant
Irvin Road and Dutch Branch
Road) a year ago for a new
campus, which Disney de-
scribed as “perfect in every
way.” That gift of land was
made contingent upon Trin-
ity Valley School’s ability to
raise sufficient funds to con-
struct the necessary campus
facilities. “All we have to do
now is raise the money, and
we are very enthusiastic
about a successful comple-
tion of the project because
the Carter Foundation chal-
lenge is such a magnificent
beginning," he understated.
Speaking for the
Foundation’s Board of Di-
rectors, Executive Director
Bob J. Crow stated, “Fort
Worth absolutely needs a
vibrant Trinity Valley School
in its future. It's essential to
the sustained growth and
development of this commu-
nity." As a serious after-
thought, Crow added, “The
Foundation wanted to show
leadership and faith in the
School’s future, but we posi-
tioned the grant as a chal-
lenge because our Directors
want Trinity Valley School's

Trustees, parents, alumni,

Trinity Valley School's
founding Headmaster,
Stephen Seleny, was unable
to contain his enthusiasm.
“As I face retirement at the
end of the 1993-94 school
year, I am secure in the
knowledge that the School
has been given a jump-start
toward the fulfillment of all
of my fondest dreams for it.”
