Note from the Director

May is a very busy and exciting month as the school year comes to an end! Once again, the Foundation had a successful Night with the Stars where we celebrated our scholarship and classroom grant recipients.  During the event, I have the opportunity to talk with the students and hear about their dreams and aspirations.  Each year I'm amazed as to the caliber of students we have in Park Hill. It is especially rewarding to see our students walk across the stage and receive their scholarships. Bright futures ahead!

NIGHT WITH THE STARS
Our wonderful volunteers!

Guest enjoyed fabulous food, fun friends, and a great movie while they supported our schools, our children and our community. The Foundation held the annual Night with the Stars on April 1, 2015, at the AMC BarryWoods Theatre. Attendees enjoyed a fun filled evening of conversation, dinner, and a first run movie at this wonderful benefit event. We also celebrated our stars by recognizing newly announced Classroom Grant and Scholarship recipients. Since the Foundation's inception we have awarded 200 Classroom Grants and 289 Student Scholarships.
