The 2012 Gala will be held on January 28, 2012! This will be the 20th Gala celebration for the Education Foundation and will surely be one not to be missed.

At the Board of Trustees' meeting on June 6th, the following grants were approved for funding:

A $1,000 grant was awarded to Edison Intermediate Middle School to create Bobcat Circles, a mentorship program. This program will identify 7th & 8th graders to support 4th & 5th graders during their assimilation from the elementary to intermediate schools.

A $1,776 grant was awarded to help fund a new Thought Lab for Edison Intermediate Middle School. This unique and non-tradition classroom environment will foster a more creative learning experience. White marker board wall material, alternate seating types and divider screens to facilitate small group interactions are proposed.

An additional $2,560 was granted to acquire additional applications and material for iPad integration at Stevenson Elementary.

$2,886 was awarded for new lockers for two classrooms at Stevenson Elementary. These lower height lockers will allow removal of the existing high "cubbies" enabling better teacher sightlines and natural light infiltration. The top of these locker will also be used for special displays, work space and staging area.  

The next Board of Trustees meeting will be held on September 26th, 2011.
