Hi Friends, Wow, we have an incredible community, near and far, of education-minded supporters! Over the past few weeks, donors gave to us on Fairfield County's Giving Day. We reached our goal of $12,000 by winning the "Love Of Learning" Power Hour - a $2000 prize - and receiving donations from 181 people. Trivia Challenge raised nearly $50K for our programs and provided an evening's worth of fun and loads of laughter. We are shy by $4000 of reaching the donor match of $25K for our AVID SUCCESS Scholarship fund. Click here to donate and help us realize the full match. A very special thanks to Christine Kim, Molly Fergusson, Madelyn Joliffe, John Grasso, Lisa Zonino, Jane Hentemann, Hilary Hoffmeister and Michele Turk for putting together everything related to the game and for soliciting items and organizing the auction. Check out, visit and thank our local vendors who donated to our silent auction (click here for list). Welcome SPRING! Spring means Reaching Out Grants, college decisions, college visits, career panels, Odyssey of the Mind, GHS interns, year-end celebrations, theater performances, and so much more for GPS students and families.
Stay tuned for all this good news in the months ahead! |
