Foundation Report
Discussion:
The Foundation Board held its quarterly meeting at the high school on June 28. Foundation funds/bank account balances were reviewed. Scholarships awarded to the 22-23 senior class were briefly discussed. Board member Allison Welch will be putting together an announcement of award winners to go into the next district wide newsletter. The announcement will also serve to notify 23-24 seniors and their parents to look for their application packets in January of 2024."Get the Word Out" campaign ideas were discussed as well as short term and long term goals for the Foundation. Short term ideas include having a table at open house, a grill night at a football game, and revamping the Foundation website page. Longer term ideas include reaching out to alumni through creation of an alumni database, in addition to finding ways to connect with other community supporters including landowners, previous educators, and local business owners. The Board approved the purchase of a 3ft by 6ft banner and a tabletop cover advertising Conestoga Public Schools Foundation. These would be used for open house, football games and other activities that will help promote the mission of the Foundation going forward. Met with quality signs, will put something together and have the foundation approve it before deciding which proof to use.
