Kidologie Establishes Scholarship Fund for Graduating 2015 Newtown High School Senior

From Kidologie:

NEWTOWN, CT – Newtown based company, Connectologie, LLC, recently announced the creation of a $2,500 Kidologie Scholarship to be awarded to a graduating 2015 Newtown High School Senior. The money will be raised from admission ticket sales at the company’s 3rd Annual Kidologie Gets Ready for Summer event taking place at the Reed Intermediate School in Newtown on Sunday, March 15, 2015 from 11am – 3pm.

Kidologie premiere children’s events produced by Connectologie LLC, are community fairs for kids of all ages and their caregivers. The Newtown event will spotlight over 70 family-oriented exhibitors from the area representing an array of products and services for children offering information and free hands-on activities. In addition, there will be live entertainment, free goody bags filled with samples and treats, free giveaways, including a family vacation to Woodloch Resort and much more. This year’s 3rd Annual Kidologie Gets Ready for Summer event is expected to attract more than 1,600 attendees. Admission is $20 per family.

“Since its inception in 2012, Kidologie has been giving back to the community by selecting a local non-profit organization to benefit from each of its events. The goal is to help create increased awareness about the non-profit through Kidologie’s marketing and trusted community voice as well as making a monetary contribution to the organization from a portion of the event’s proceeds. In the past Kidologie has worked with causes such as The Newtown Memorial Fund, EverWonder Children’s Museum and Ann’s Place,” said Lisa Agresta, Kidologie Founding Partner.

“This year we decided to do something a little different by creating a Scholarship Fund which will be given directly to an individual student. Anyone who personally knows myself and business partner, Geetha Selva, know how important education is to us and our families. This Scholarship Fund really hits home,” said Agresta.

The $2,500 Kidologie Scholarship for Community Minded Students will be awarded to a graduating Newtown High School (NHS) senior with the class of 2015. Applicants will show involvement with community services with Newtown High School and/or the community, including the Greater Danbury area. Criteria for the student scholarship will include the writing of an essay describing what inspired him or her to be involved in the community and how their efforts have had an impact on their life and the lives of others. The scholarship recipient will be selected by a scholarship committee, which includes faculty and staff at NHS. The scholarship is available through the Career Center at Newtown High School. The recipient will be at the 3rd Annual Kidologie Gets Ready for Summer event for the community to meet him or her.

“This emerging partnership with Connectologie LLC represents everything that is right with local business entities and our schools. Through their decision making to support Newtown Schools we are one step closer to making a difference in the lives of every student. On behalf of the 5,000 youngsters we are privileged to educate we thank and applaud this extraordinary gift,” said Dr. Joseph V. Erardi, Jr., Superintendent of Schools.
