Dear Edgemont Families, Alumni, Community and Friends,
Would you like to help “ensure and enhance the value of an Edgemont education” for all of our students? That is exactly what you do when you support the Edgemont School Foundation (ESF).
Since its founding in 1993, ESF has supported the efforts of our teachers and administrators to enhance the educational experiences for Edgemont students. While school taxes fund our district’s primary operational costs, they do not pay for all of our schools’ educational initiatives. This is where ESF steps in; we help fund school needs that are not covered by taxes or by other community organizations. Just recently, we provided a grant to support literacy development programs at the Seely Place and Greenville elementary schools. We also provided funding to renovate a classroom and create the E-Lab in the Jr./Sr. High School, which provides students with an innovative and collaborative learning environment.
In coordination with the District’s Focus Forward strategic plan, and building on the success of the E-Lab, ESF is committed to funding the redesign of our school’s classrooms to be more in line with a 21st century approach to education. Our combined vision is to have classrooms be more project-based, collaborative, flexible and student-centered. These new spaces will provide authentic opportunities for learning and will support our students’ academic, social and emotional development.
To help us continue our mission of enhancing the educational experience in Edgemont each year, we need the support from our community. We hope that all those committed to the continued success of Edgemont, our schools and our students will join us by supporting ESF during this year’s annual campaign and help us exceed our $130,000 goal.
