MLEF 2007 Annual Campaign
The Mountain Lakes Educational Foundation (MLEF) has been running
an annual campaign the last several weeks to request the community's
assistance in completing its project begun two years ago of adding Smart
board technology to the district classrooms. Smart boards are
interactive whiteboards, powered by a computer, allowing teachers to
electronically record, store and print classroom notes. They enable
teachers to deliver current data from the web to students. To date,
eight Smart boards have been installed in classrooms due to the MLEF
involvement, serving nearly all students in the district. The following
Smart boards have been funded by MLEF since our project was begun.
High School: World Cultures
Social Studies/James Smith
Spanish / Jen Larkin
Math/ Rob Downes
Briarcliff : Deidre Lombardi / 6th grade Math
Wildwood: Irene Muka/ Library/Media Center
Darrell Fusco / 5th grade Social
Studies
Mark Walters / 5th grade Science
In addition, the MLEF has continued to fund programs and amenities
this year that fall outside of the regular curriculum and budget. For
the school year 2006-2007, these included:
-
Adult Evening Technology Courses held in the spring for the
community.
-
Spectrophitometer for honors/AP chemistry and physics classes.
-
Acoustic electric mandolins and an octave mandolin for the Music
department.
-
Equipment for creating wicker and outdoor furniture in woodshop
class.
-
Audio recording equipment for digital editing and sound engineering
for chorus/strings.
-
American Dance Series for the English department.
We need your help!
Please
consider an individual or group donation to ensure that our children
continue to benefit from Smart board technology to realize their
academic potential. Your contribution to the MLEF Annual Campaign will
do just that.
There are three ways for
you to contribute and help us reach this goal:
-
Make a donation designated to our general Smart board fund.
-
Designate your donation to a specific classroom Smart board.
-
Make a donation, either alone or with a group, for a specific
classroom you designate.
The current cost of each Smart board is $7000. If you make a designated
contribution towards a Smart
board but not enough money is raised to purchase one, MLEF will place
restrictions on the funds and meet the remainder of the costs through
additional contributions raised throughout the year. And, yes, your
donation is 100% tax-deductible.
How many donations can you
make that touch the educational lives of every single student in our
schools? This one does. Thank you so much for your support of the
Mountain Lakes Educational Foundation and our work for the community.
Your donation will ensure that Smart boards can be in place when
students return to school in September.
