Donors To Be Recognized On New Appreciation Wall

With the completion of the new Allen ISD Administration Building in March 2008, the Foundation and the district will be able to recognize donors in a new way. The 3-story atrium will feature a Donor Appreciation Wall and will highlight donors in the following categories:

SUSTAINING    $2,000             (Over 2 years in annual or monthly contributions)

PATRON          $5,000             (Over 3 years in annual or monthly contributions)

LEGACY          $10,000           (Over 5 years in annual or monthly contributions)

Donations may be made in memory of or in honor of an individual, group or school. Sustaining, Patron and Legacy donors will be invited to a special Donor Appreciation event at the new Allen ISD Administration Building in spring 2008.

Marty Monnat, former Allen ISD Board of Trustee member, is chairman of the 2007 Annual Campaign. “I am the grandchild of immigrants and my parents and grandparents drilled into us the importance of an education every day. They never dreamed that we would all go on to college and even to graduate school.

“I believe that a quality education is the greatest gift a community can give its children. It is something that can never be taken away and can change the future of that child.

‘During my years as a trustee, I would tell people that the reward for board service was being on the stage at graduation, watching the faces of the seniors as they realized that a whole new world lay ahead of them.  Since becoming involved in the Foundation, however, having seen the faces of both teachers and students who have benefited from the grants and scholarships we have awarded, I realized that graduation really is an end-result of what happens every day in our classrooms. I have seen first-hand how important it is for us to be successful in what we do to support those programs.”

Donations can be made online or by printing and mailing the donation form found on the website, or by contacting the Foundation office at 972-727-0362.
 
  Grant Total Exceeds Quarter Million Mark

Over the past seven years, the Foundation has awarded a total 223 classroom grants, with funds directed to Allen ISD classrooms totaling $238,577.

Grants for the current school year include an elementary art/photography project, a math assistance program for middle school students, and many science and library projects.

“The quantity and the quality of our classroom grants continues to increase every year,” said Regina Taylor, Foundation Director. “Our teachers estimate that this year’s grants will directly impact more than 10,000 Allen students. That’s a very big impact and very positive impact for our donor’s investment!” For a complete list of the 54 grants for 2007–2008, click on “Grants”.
