Celebration of Education Planned for June 1

The Education Foundation of Greendale will host the annual Celebration of Education on Friday, June 1, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. at Tuckaway Country Club, 6901 W. Drexel Avenue in Franklin. The Celebration of Education is a fun and informal event where we celebrate the successes of the past year, and honor those who have helped us along the way, including businesses, parents, community members, staff and students.

The Celebration will include live music from the Greendale High School Jazz Band, raffle items, limited auction items, hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. Today’s TMJ4 news anchor Vince Vitrano will again serve as emcee for this year’s event.

Over the years, the support from so many parents, businesses and residents has enabled the Education Foundation of Greendale to provide extra resources to Greendale Schools that help our students be top achievers, as evidenced by our recent recognition as one of the Best Schools by Milwaukee Magazine. 

Proceeds from this year’s Celebration of Education will support technology efforts district-wide. As a district, Greendale Schools wants to increase the technology students can use to access information, enhance classroom learning, and become prepared for the next level of technological innovation as they reach the workplace.

As an annual community highlight, the Education Foundation of Greendale will present two “Inspiration Awards.” This year’s honored guest, Dee Dixon, will be acknowledged for her longstanding commitment to Greendale Schools, and as a past Foundation board President. 

A second Inspiration award will be presented to John and Teri Bill, owners of , Greendale. Manchester Investments has been one of our longtime community partners, supporting our schools in many meaningful ways through donations, leadership with Friends of Music, and through program ads and sponsorships for our plays, marching bands and academic efforts over the years.

We hope you and you families will join us at this year’s very special Celebration. Tickets are $30 each, and can 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.
