2012-2013 Annual Report - Mt. Vernon Education Foundation
A Letter from the President Greetings! As president of the board of the Mt.Vernon Education Foundation, I am happy to report that the foundation has had a marvelous year, and it is all because of our strong donors and supporters! We began the fiscal year by hiring Andrea Yovanovich as our new executive director. Andrea has done an amazing job keeping us on track to continue raising dollars to fund grants for our teachers. Speaking of grants, this past spring grant cycle helped MVEF hit a huge milestone. Our foundation has awarded eighty-one grants, totaling more than $100,000 in just si x s h o rt y ea rs t o t he educators of MVCSC. To ensure the sustainability of the success of the foundation, we have a growing endowment, managed by the Hancock Community Foundation, which exceeds $85,000. The Mt.Vernon Education Foundation's goal is to continue to support our teachers and students by hosting e vents such a s The Taste of Mt.Vernon, Chip in Fore Kids G olf O u t i ng a n d M V E F 5 K / 1mile Family Run/Walk. These events, along with our annual campaign, are crucial to our success. Keep an eye on the dates of these events by logging onto our website which is www.mtvernonfoundation.org. I have seen, first hand, how these amazing grants have impacted the students in our corporation. As you read through this report, we need your help to keep the tradi tion g row i ng . Please consider a donation to our annual campaign. An envelope has been included to make your donation a simple process. Help us continue to help the children in your community be as successful as possible!

J. Erlewein Jeffry Young Jennifer Longman Jack McKinney Ex-Officio Board Members Dr. Bill Riggs, MVCSC Superintendent Vernee Eads, MVCSC School Board President Emertius Board Members Leanne Brown Pearson Miller MVEF Grants Funded When you participate in one of our events or make a donation, you support the students of Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation. Each school year, the foundation grants faculty and staff awards bringing new technology, innovative programs and support materials to the classroom. Interesting new technology always sparks curiosity and enthusiasm in our students. Fun and unique classroom items add memories that last a lifetime. Support programs in math, language arts, and science ensure that our students are meeting standards and learning valuable lifelong skills. Thanks to your generous gifts, the foundation can make these things happen. The following grants were funded in 2012/2013: Mt. Vernon High School Bernie Campbell – SUMMER IS FOR GETTING BETTER. This grant offers the possibility for Mt. Vernon High School students to achieve greater success in Advanced Placement exam scores. The subject of this grant is a number of intensive four-day workshops to aid some of our high school teaching staff in acquiring additional skills needed to educate our math and science AP students. Six educators were selected to attend the AP Summer Institute at the Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Humanities at Ball State University. The subject areas include Statistics, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Calculus. Christine Turk – SCIENCE OLYMPIAD MATERIALS. This grant will open up the possibilities for Mt. Vernon High School students to participate in Science Olympiad events which have not been available to them in the past due to the lack of resources. The introduction of a Robot Arm and other needed materials, will provide the resources needed to participate in all 23 categories of the Science Olympiad. Students will now be able to compete in all 23 categories including Robotic Arm, MagLev, Gravity Vehicle, Elastic Launched Glider, and Boomilever events. The Science Olympiad provides highly motivated students an opportunity to apply their knowledge in a hands on way that makes learning that much more exciting and adds the element of competition which provides confidence, poise, and a sense of accomplishment. Upon receipt of this grant, the MVHS Science Olympiad team won and placed at several 2013 competitions. 8th Grade Academy Dean Falkenberg – MOCK PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. The “Vote for Me!” program is designed to teach students about the presidential election process from the primaries through the Electoral College. It is a hands on program which requires student participation from role playing to voting. Mt. Vernon Middle School Katie Scott - COMPUTERS ON WHEELS. With increased access to computer technology, today's students can search the internet for research projects, access Moodle, create PowerPoint presentations, and prepare for required testing which now must be completed via computer. This grant has greatly increased computer availability to seventh grade students at MVMS. This grant will allow the seventh grade English department to use computers whenever needed. Fortville Elementary School Kathy Tingwald – ELMO SPEAKS VOLUMES. Do not be fooled, st this grant will not put Sesame Street's Elmo in our 1 grade classroom s, but will put technology into the classroom which is designed to enhance student learning through the use of a document camera. The ELMO TT12 device, with the use of a projector, allows for the projection of documents i.e. quizzes, tests, study materials, mathematical calculations etc.; allows for the observation of small objects and the comparison of graphs and charts or other items; allows for the projection of three dimensional shapes/objects; and provides for endless other possibilities for learning. This technology can be used to actively engage the visual learner as well as hands on learners. The visual learners will be able to see the topic of discussion such as a coin or math calculation while the hands on learner can benefit by operating the equipment and placing objects under the document camera and describing them to their classmates. Alyson Huston – RESOURCES FOR RESOURCE. By placing iPads in the classroom, not only are students introduced to technology which they will need to use today and in the future, but it will provide another attractive avenue for educating students. th The iPads will be used by students in kindergarten through 5 grade. Given the multitude of downloadable, education application s, students can impr ove reading skills, language arts skills, math skills, and so much more. The allure of the iPad aids in retaining student attention levels and interest. With increased attention and interest levels, the success of a student is likely assured. McCordsville Elementary School Amy Morton – ADDING TECHNOLOGY. This grant is for a mini computer and portable projector cart. These tools will assist in presenting videos, pictures, and PowerPoint slide shows via an existing projector and Mimeo. The combination of these tools creates a more interactive setting for students and teacher alike. It provides for greater abilities than exist today in the classroom by providing larger more visible presentations, interactive writing on the white board and additional technology to be learned and used st by our 1 grade students. The portability of the mini computer/laptop also provides an opportunity for other teachers and classrooms who may wish to avail themselves of the technology. In addition, the visual learning it provides is highly likely to benefit the learning of students who are on the Autism spectrum. Courtney Streicher – INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY IN LITTLE HANDS. The iPads will be used by students in kindergarten for the enhancement of math, reading, music, and intervention needs. Given the multitude of downloadable, education applications, students can improve reading skills, language arts skills, math skills, music skills and so much more. The iPads could also possibly be utilized by other teachers and grades in the building. These iPads will also be used in cooperation with the pre-school iBuddy program. Mt. Comfort Elementary School Suzanne Hanselmann – FILLING IN FICTION. Through the funding of this grant, our students in grades 1 – 5 will be provided a greater variety of fiction books which are believed to hold their interest. Upon discovering that Mt. Comfort students love reading fiction series, this grant request was submitted in the hopes of gaining funding for the purpose of filling the library shelves with fiction books which will interest students and assist them in meeting the needs of the “Scholastic Reading Counts” independent reading program. This grant will also help in replacing and supplementing the many books and book series shifted among and between the elementary schools. Katie Bieda – MUSIC'S MODERN-DAY MINI MUSICIAN. This grant is designed not only to enhance the music appreciation of th our 5 grade students, but also an attempt to restore a sense of responsibility granted to the student class having seniority in the school bu i l din g. De v el op in g maturity and leadership, the students will not only learn how to use and play a ukulele, but will gain an understanding of the instrument itself. The goal is to offer an opportunity for playing in a musical ensemble and develop a group of dedicated troupe ukulele players. Brianne Williams – IPADS FOR KINDERGARTEN. By placing iPads in the classroom, not only are students introduced to technology which they will need to use today and in the future, but it will provide another more attractive avenue for educating students. The iPads will be used by students in kindergarten for the enhancement of math and reading skills. Given the multitude of downloadable, education applications, students can improve reading skills, language arts skills, math skills, and so much more. The allure of the iPad aids in retaining student attention levels and interest. With increased attention and interest levels, the success of a student is likely assured. These iPads will add to the already existing number of iPads granted for use at the Kindergarten level, and will directly benefit a classroom of students currently identified as “at risk”. Tiffany Creager – THE BODY SAFETY PROGRAM. The Body Safety Program is a previously funded program designed to educate students as to their rights to their body so that they can play an active role in keeping themselves safe. While child molestation is not a pleasant subject to think about or talk about, it is something that must be discussed with young people at a level that is age appropriate, in an environment that is safe, and in a manner that does not create embarrassment or humiliation. This program was implemented corporation wide for a second year and included parents. The program was developed by Sergeant Terry Hall, a veteran police officer of 38 years; seven of those years were served with the IPD Sex Offense Branch. Sergeant Hall presents the Parent/Teacher/Community portion before the program is presented to students. The past presentation was well received by parents and children alike.

Vernon alumni who have passed. The first inaugural alumni class to donate was the Class of 1984. MVEF greatly appreciates the dedicated support of Mt. Vernon Alumni!

Vernon Education Foundation and most recently served as the president of the board. He retired from MVEF in August of 2012 to join the MVCSC School Board.
