CCEF Apple Awards given at 2003 annual conference to:
Irvine Public Schools Foundation (IPSF) The award recognizes the IPSF School Site Ambassador program that was developed to improve the relationship and communication between IPSF and schools. Over the years, the Ambassador program has become instrumental in keeping schools connected both with the school district and foundation activities. School Site Ambassadors are representatives from individual schools who serve as liaison to enhance communication between IPSF and local school sites. For more information contact CEO Tim Shaw at info@ipsf.net
Menlo Park-Atherton
Education Foundation (MPAEF) The award recognizes the MPAEF’s new
community-building program of Foundation Ambassadors – one in every
classroom – at the four schools in the Menlo Park City Elementary School
District.
Foundation Ambassadors help
to communicate the focus of the MPAEF this year to increase participation
among parents in the mission of raising money for essential programs.
“Ambassadors help build
understanding among parents and that understanding will help us build a
stronger community,” said June Flora, president of the MPAEF, who accepted
the award at a special luncheon at the CCEF Conference in San Jose on
November 7, 2003. “In the face of growing enrollment and continued economic
uncertainty in our state, there is no more important time for parents to
understand the integral role our Foundation plays in providing local funding
for an excellent education for our children.” Contact:
ambassador@mpaef.org
Palo Alto Foundation for Excellence (PAFE) The award recognizes the PAFE Communication Campaign which used digital technology to create a DVD entitled “Magnifying Science” which became the centerpiece in the PAFE Science fundraising campaign. Believing that the “experts,” teachers in the classroom, would be the most persuasive advocates of the science departments’ needs, but understanding that teachers are at their most effective in the classroom, not at myriad fundraising events, PAFE interviewed teachers on video as a way of giving them an opportunity to tell their stories to the widest possible audience of potential donors.
