To the editor:
I am writing to ask Hopewell Valley residents to support the Hopewell Valley Education Foundation’s 2015-2016 “Power of 100” annual fund campaign.
This year’s gifts to the “Power of 100” will directly support the purchase of new 3-D printers for our school district’s media centers and grants to allow all school media specialists to be fully educated and equipped to incorporate 3-D printer use in their curricula.
Our goal this year is to have more than one hundred Hopewell Valley families give a gift of $100 or more. Your generous gift will allow 3-D printers to be a part of a school environment of active learning, cooperation and problem solving; exactly the skills our students must have to face the demands of a quickly changing world.
To date we have received over $13,000 toward our goal of $25,000!
Over the past 18 years, the Hopewell Valley Education Foundation has raised more than $500,000 for our school district’s programs, activities, and teacher grants aimed at enriching the educational experience of Hopewell Valley students. Foundation funding was instrumental in providing the iPad pilot project in all six Hopewell Valley schools, development of the new Project-Lead-The-Way pre-engineering curriculum at Timberland Middle School, the successful authors-in-residence programs, and four college scholarships for Hopewell Valley graduates.
Our Foundation Board is unanimously supporting this year’s “Power of 100” annual fund campaign. But we can’t do it alone. All of our work is immeasurably helped by thoughtful, caring people like you, your friends and local businesses, too. We hope you will join HVEF in our effort to continue educational excellence in the Hopewell Valley School District by making a generous contribution to this year’s campaign.
Contributions can be mailed to HVEF at P.O. Box 553, Pennington, N.J. 08534, or you may donate online at www.hvef.org. Donation instructions are prominently shown on our homepage.
Thank you in advance for being a part of this year’s “Power of 100!”
