Education Foundations's Celebration of Education Set for June 3
April 22, 2011
The Education Foundation of Greendale will host the annual Celebration of Education on Friday, June 3, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. at Tuckaway Country Club, 6901 W. Drexel Avenue, Franklin, Wisconsin. The Celebration of Education provides a special opportunity for Greendale community members, businesses, parents, faculty and students to join together to acknowledge the achievements of Greendale students and alumni.
The fun and informal event will include live music from the Greendale High School Jazz Ensemble I, raffle items, limited auction items, in addition to hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar.
“Over the years, the support from so many parents, businesses and residents has enabled the Education Foundation of Greendale to provide resources that enabled our schools to provide those ‘extras’ that help our students to be top achievers’” said Ron Irwin, Education Foundation President. “Greendale Schools want to increase the technology students can use to access information, create new types of school work and projects as well as be prepared for the next level of technological innovation in the workplace. The proceeds from this year’s Celebration of Education will support the Ready Access Effort at each of the Greendale schools. It’s an opportunity to continue the momentum we started last year.”
Today’s TMJ4 news anchor Vince Vitrano will serve as emcee for this year’s event.
As an annual community highlight, the Education Foundation of Greendale will present the “Inspiration Award” to an esteemed recipient during the Celebration of Education event. This year’s honored guest, Judy Fons, will be acknowledged for her longstanding commitment to schools and the community. Fons, who served on the school board for many years, including time as School Board President, has continued to remain active in supporting the Greendale Schools long after her time on the Board of Education ended.
A second award, recognizing the partner of the year, will be presented to the Village Club of Greendale. The Village Club is one of those community partners that have been there for Greendale schools in a variety of ways. When the high school pool was being renovated, the Village Club pool was made available for high school swim teams. When the school district is hosting a larger tennis tournament, the Village Club has graciously opened the tennis facilities to accommodate the schools. Each year, a number of students are employed by the Village Club – helping young people to gain job skills and experience and earn dollars that go toward higher education needs.
Tickets are $30 each, and may be purchased at Greendale High School, Greendale Park and Recreation Department (5900 S. 51st Street, Greendale), Reiman Visitor Center or on the Education Foundation of Greendale website at www.efgreendale.org
In 1998, friends and supporters of the Greendale School District established the Education Foundation of Greendale, Inc. For over a decade, the Foundation remains true to its mission: to fund creative and innovative programs benefiting students and faculty in the Greendale School District. To date, more than $236,000 has been raised and helped support excellence in the local school district.

Education Foundation's "Celebration of Education" Set for June 4
May 08, 2010
The Education Foundation of Greendale will host the Celebration of Education, formerly the Night of the Arts, on Friday, June 4, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. at Tuckaway Country Club, 6901 W. Drexel Avenue, Franklin, Wisconsin. The Celebration of Education provides a special opportunity for Greendale community members, businesses, parents, faculty and students to join together to acknowledge the achievements of Greendale students and alumni.
The fun and informal event will include live music from RoShamBo, raffle items, limited auction items including one-of-a-kind, student-created works of art, in addition to hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar.
“Over the years, the support from so many parents, businesses and residents has enabled the Education Foundation of Greendale to provide resources that enabled our schools to provide those ‘extras’ that help our students to be top achievers’” said Ron Irwin, Education Foundation President. ”This year, proceeds from our community event will help bring technology to all of our elementary students to personalize their learning experience – giving teachers a way to individualize parts of their classroom day.”
Funds raised at the Celebration of Education will help with the purchase of Apple Technology that includes a hand-held tool customized to the tasks that students deal with every day in the elementary classroom.
“Students have to be more proficient with technology if they are going to succeed in school and in their working lives,” said Irwin. “We want to put these tools in their hands early. It will give them a means to conduct research on the Internet; collaborate electronically with project teammates; take notes on a field trip; watch educational films, lectures, and try their hand at literally thousands of educational applications.”
As an annual community highlight, the Education Foundation of Greendale will present the “Inspiration Award” to an esteemed recipient during the Celebration of Education event. This year’s honored guest, Dr. Arthur J. Dorrington, will be acknowledged for his commitment to the community.
