This year the organization gave the Gala a makeover and it
became School House Rocks, with an 80’s theme, complete with the always
exciting cover band The Deloreans. If
you weren’t there, you really missed out.
You missed out on the fun. You
missed out on incredible food provided by Smithfield Station. You missed out on seeing quite a few of our
staff members in crazy 1980’s costumes.
You missed out on some impressive auction items (Beach Vacations,
Dinners, Firehouse Birthday Parties).
But you really missed out on helping to fund a teacher’s
project. Each year, the Foundation
receives a stack of grant applications from our teachers. And each year the Foundation has to make the
difficult decision on which ones to fund with the money they have raised. There are always more requests than
funding. There is still a way to
contribute to the Foundation. Just click
on the link below and donate on their website.
You can have a direct impact on our students through your generosity. You can also see the list of grants that were
funded last year and pictures of some of the grants in action: https://www.iowfoundation.org
As usual, the Foundation put on another exceptional event, with the goal of supporting and enhancing an exemplary educational experience for all students in Isle of Wight Public Schools. If you weren’t able to attend, I hope you will join us next year. You will not be disappointed.
