We feel very fortunate to be the recipient of a $2,000 donation from the “I Wonder” Teacher’s Fund. This wonderful song honors teachers, and now these proceeds will go directly to grants that support both teachers and students in all ten Salem schools. The Salem Evening News highlighted this donation yesterday: Song honoring teachers helps non-profit. To learn more about the I Wonder song project, please visit the I Wonder Song Project website. Many thanks to Anna Ginnetti-Ricci for writing this special song, and to Paul Wennik for producing it. Your generous donation is very much appreciated.

Letter from the President

Salem Education Foundation — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 19:54:22 +0000

In 1994, a group of concerned parents, educators and citizens created a non-profit entity, the Salem Education Foundation, to support and promote creativity, innovation and excellence in the Salem Public Schools.

FSPE raises private monies to fund initiatives that are outside the bounds of public funds. Run by a volunteer board of Salem residents, the FSPE has funded over $360,000.00 in nearly 800 grants to Salem’s public schools.

Thanks to the generosity of the greater Salem community, students in Salem Public Schools have benefited through these grants in many areas, including:

Literacy
Arts and Humanities
Mathematics
Science
Technology
Community Organization and Volunteerism
Multi-cultural Learning Opportunities

The FSPE consistently receives many more proposals than we can fund, and we expect this year to be no different. During these challenging economic times, schools must reach even deeper to provide teachers the opportunity to enrich students’ educational experiences.

A strong school system enhances not only the lives of students, but also the entire community. We thank you for your ongoing support and hope to see you at our Annual Spring Auction April 2, 6PM at the Hawthorne Hotel.

Sincerely,

Sarah Morrill
FSPE Board President, 2009-10
