Quotes from Foundation members
Why they support the GLPIEF
“I understand that
supporting the Greater
Latrobe Partners in
Education Foundation
might be new for people in
the community and alumni,
but the Foundation is here for
everyone in the community to
get involved and the Foundation
will be here for years to come.”
- Michael Rossi, GLPIEF
Vice-President, ’83, parent
“Growing up in Latrobe
in the 1950s and 60s was
a happy time and I am
proud to be from Latrobe
because I feel a part of a community
that cared about me as a student.”
- Ray Mt. Joy, GLPIEF
Campaign Cabinet Co-chair
and Board Member, ‘63
“My husband, Bill, and I have
been so impressed with the
dedication and professionalism
of the school district’s
administration, teachers and staff. They
have given our sons a positive academic
and social experience. Our participation
in the A+ Campaign is not only a way for
us to express our gratitude, but is also
a direct investment towards our
children’s educational experience.
We are so proud to be in Greater Latrobe
School District!”
“My commitment to this Foundation starts
with the same belief many of us share and
that is a burning desire to make this world
a better place. For the next generation to
strive to achieve this dream or ideal we
need to provide them with an environment that is
creative, visionary and beyond what is normally
expected of a school district. Using private funds
and donations allows us to dream and envision, and
then create that environment for the children in
our community”
- Lester Sutton, GLPIEF Board and
Cabinet Member, ’74, grandparent
- Jessica Urbanik, GLPIEF
Board Member, parent
“Not every student knows what he or she wants to
pursue beyond high school and Greater Latrobe School
District needs to offer more exposure to various
interests at the elementary level as well as internships
in a variety of workforce fields. Parents entrust us with their
most precious gift, their child, and we must always be advancing
and changing to meet the needs of our students and prepare
them to be life-long learners.”
- Judith Swigart, Superintendent of Schools
