Here are several highlights of CFF activities from this week:
- The High Tech Academic Achievement Scholars were selected on Thursday by several CFF Board members and AVID staff. 19 AVID students will share in the $32,000.00 generously provided by our scholarship sponsors; including: Jack-in-the-Box ($16,500), Biogen Idec ($5,000), Cymer ($4,000), Dave Kapelanski ($2,000) and the remainder from the CFF scholarship fund.
- The MOU between the Santee School District, SDCOE and CFF was approved by the Santee Board of Education this week. The funding from Sempra ($15,000) will allow this program, Project-based Learning an Professional Development, to move forward in the next couple of weeks.
- The latest issue of Synergies is attached for your review and highlights our title sponsors: Cox and the Cox Kids Foundation, the Innovation in education Award recipients and honorable mentions, as well as the twenty other event corporate sponsors.
- Your assistance is requested to secure table sponsors ($1,500). Although the number of sponsors is comparable to last year our revenue is down some. If each Board member identified or secured one table sponsor we could make our goal of $200,000. Please contact me if you have names of some potential table sponsors and I'd be glad to follow-up with them.
- Be sure and be on the look out for the U-T ad announcing the CFF 2009 Innovation in Education event, "Commanding Innovative Excellence" in the Sunday paper April 26th. Also, the ITV PSA announcing the event was completed and distributed to local cable companies and placed on the CFF website.
- A special thanks to the USS Midway for donating a guest pass to the museum to every attendee of the event on May 14th.
