Thank you <strong>Orinda</strong>!<br />
from Joan Kiekhaefer, <strong>EFO</strong> President 2009–2012<br />
The <strong>Orinda</strong> community has once again demonstrated its strong support<br />
for excellence in local public schools helping <strong>EFO</strong> raise $1.5 million in<br />
2010-2011. Thank you for investing in quality education which makes our<br />
community a very desirable place to live and work.<br />
With the funds donated this year, <strong>EFO</strong> enabled the elementary schools<br />
to retain art and music programs, provided a varied mix <strong>of</strong> electives and<br />
foreign language classes at both OIS and Miramonte, and reduced the<br />
number <strong>of</strong> students in all English classes at Miramonte. You will see a full<br />
list <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> the classes and programs to be funded this year by <strong>EFO</strong> on the<br />
following pages. Additionally in 2011-2012, <strong>EFO</strong> is pleased to provide all<br />
funding for visual and performing arts activities at Miramonte.<br />
I would like to recognize Chip and Carolyn Herman for their leadership<br />
in organizing the <strong>Orinda</strong> Classic Car Show and Dancing with the Cars<br />
dinner for the last seven years. This is a great community event that also<br />
generates a significant financial benefit for <strong>EFO</strong>.<br />
<strong>EFO</strong> could not fulfill its mission without numerous dedicated and hard<br />
working board members and volunteers. Thank you for the countless<br />
hours devoted to ensuring that <strong>Orinda</strong> has top rated schools.
