Return of "Summer Days"
Monday,
June 21
Cream King is open and they are supporting our schools! On Monday, June 21st, Cream King is kicking off summer with the second annual Summer Days in the Valley, celebrating the end of the school year and the beginning of summer. On this day, Cream King is donating 20% of all proceeds to the HVEF. This is a great way for you to support the local public schools simply by enjoying dinner and ice cream with your family. So gather your family, friends, team or whoever you are with on Monday and head over the Cream King!
Teacher, Staff and School Recognition Program - the perfect end of year appreciation gift!
At the end of each school year parents, room parents and grandparents look for ways to show their appreciation for all that our teachers, staff and administrators do for our students. We are happy to offer our Teacher, Staff and School Recognition Program in which you can honor a teacher, administrator, or other district employee who has made a difference in children's lives. This is the perfect way to thank a teacher or other staff member when a student moves on - either to the next level school, or upon graduation. Details and the donation form are found here.
Congratulations Trivia Night Winners
On May 25 the HVEF held its first Trivia Night at the high school. A $300 cash prize, donated by Hopewell Valley Community Bank, was won by the "idream" club. "idream" stands for International Disaster Relief Emergency Aid Movement, and is a new club which formed after the devastating earthquake in Haiti.
Thanks to our E² Donors
The HVEF thanks our donors, the Hopewell Valley community, and our sponsors Educatonal Testing Service and Bristol-Myers Squibb, for their generous support of the 2010 E² Awards Dinner.
2010 donors:
Straube Learning Center
The HVEF has received a $25,000 donation from the Straube Foundation for the creation of the Straube Learning Center, a computer facility dedicated to
academic pursuits and educational programming, to be located in the new Hopewell Valley Teen Center. This donation marks the first collaboration between the HVEF,
Straube Foundation, Hopewell Valley YMCA, and the Youth Advisory Board. Development of the Teen Center has been ongoing for several years, and it will eventually
be housed in the new Hopewell Valley YMCA building. Until the YMCA facility is built the Teen Center, and Straube Learning Center, will reside at a temporary location.
Educational programs for Hopewell Valley teens such as homework, tutoring, college preparation and job skills development will take place in the Straube Learning Center.
Challenge Day at TMS
Timberlane Middle School 8th grade students had an incredible experience particiapting in Challenge Day, a program designed to break down barriers between students, face bullying, build character, and empower them to "be the change" in their school and in their lives. Along the way, they came together as a group anddeveloped new friendships along with an understanding of one another. Challenge Day wa funded, in part, by Janssen Pharmaceutica through the HVEF.

With funding from the 2009 Booklovers' Luncheon author Judy Freeman will be spending one full day in each elementary school in early February. She will also hold workshops for parents each day at 4pm.
Earlier this year poet Luray Gross visited with CHS students. She will return this spring to work with middle schoolers. Her residency is being funded with the proceeds of the 2008 Booklovers' Luncheon.

A "seat" is the perfect gift for a hard-to-buy-for family member, a group gift in honor of a teacher or coach, or a way to honor someone special in your child's life.
