A message from ELF<br />
A Letter from the President December 2011<br />
<strong>Dear</strong> <strong>Easton</strong> <strong>Residents</strong>,<br />
The <strong>Easton</strong> <strong>Learning</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> (ELF) has funded approximately $500,000 to provide many innovative<br />
grants to <strong>Easton</strong> public schools since its inception in 2004. These grants provide creative classroom<br />
projects, innovative technology and valuable professional development for educators.<br />
Last year, ELF approved over 50 grants including those highlighted below and this year brings the<br />
promise of additional grants that will help launch our children into a new era of learning. Most<br />
recently, the principals at the middle school and elementary school applied for a grant for the first<br />
ever "Mobile iPad Classroom" at HKMS and SSES. Each of these mobile iPad classrooms will<br />
provide 25 brand new iPads for students. The iPads will be shared among the different disciplines as<br />
well as among the different grade levels. The total cost of the two mobile classrooms with apps and<br />
training is $45,000.<br />
The proceeds from the December ELF Holiday Fundraiser Party and the annual town-wide appeal<br />
(included in this newsletter) will be the source of funding for this grant. As soon as the money is<br />
raised, the iPads will be on order! To see how close we are to reaching our fundraising goal, go to<br />
the “iPad Fundraiser” page on our website.<br />
The principals came to ELF to fund their vision of piloting the iPad classrooms in their schools in the<br />
first quarter of 2012 and we are hopeful that together with our donors we'll be able to deliver.<br />
On behalf of the entire ELF board, thank you for your support of ELF and <strong>Easton</strong> students.<br />
Happy Holidays!<br />
With great pride and sincerity,<br />

JBHS science teachers received a grant<br />
for iPad2s to teach physical sciences to<br />
9 th graders<br />
HKMS health teachers received a grant to<br />

Great lifelong skills!<br />
This past spring SSES’s 4th grade teachers applied<br />
for a grant for their students to participate in the<br />
Connecticut Invention Convention – a statewide<br />
science fair. ELF helped to fund the event by<br />
giving them a grant that covered registration fees<br />
and medals for all participants. The students each<br />
had the opportunity to brainstorm, design and<br />
physically build a prototype of an invention of<br />
their own. From an education standpoint, the<br />
teachers were thrilled to see their students carry<br />
an idea all the way from conception through<br />
problem solving, display and presentation. Even<br />
better – all their efforts were a furthering of their<br />
core curriculum in math and science.<br />
The pride not only on the teacher’s faces, but on<br />
the students’ faces as they presented their ideas<br />
to the judges, was testament to the fact that<br />
2011 ELF Grant Highlights<br />
SSES 4 th Grade Invention Convention<br />
TO THE PARKER FAMILY:<br />
ELF is truly touched by the thoughtfulness<br />
of the Parker Family. Jeff, Meghan and Beth<br />
chose ELF as the charity to receive<br />
donations in lieu of flowers in memory of<br />
Joan C. Parker, Helen Keller Middle School<br />
principal, <strong>Easton</strong> resident and dear friend to<br />
so many people. ELF collected over $21,000<br />
from the friends and relatives of the Parker<br />
family! These funds will provide many<br />
rewarding and valuable programs to benefit<br />
<strong>Easton</strong> students for whom Mrs. Parker<br />
cared for so deeply.<br />
TO EASTON SENIORS:<br />
Thank you to the <strong>Easton</strong> seniors for<br />
participating in the ELF Trivia Bee and<br />
the SSES Invention Convention. They<br />
served as judges at the 4 th Grade<br />
Invention Convention and many were<br />
on trivia teams at our Bee!<br />

enabling children to apply their knowledge<br />
and creative thinking with hands-on opportunities<br />
truly furthers their ability to master problem<br />
solving.<br />
The judges selected finalists who then attended<br />
the state competition at UCONN in Storrs, CT.<br />
We are so proud that 13 SSES students qualified<br />
to go to the statewide convention. Six SSES<br />
students won awards among over 600<br />
participants! It was truly a very exciting and<br />
inspiring day. We are hopeful that this experience<br />
has sparked a tradition of creative problem<br />
solving that will persist in years to come.<br />

"The Joan C. Parker Grant"<br />
The Joan C. Parker Grant is awarded annually by<br />
the <strong>Easton</strong> <strong>Learning</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> to educators who<br />
inspire innovation in the fields of Science,<br />
Technology, Engineering and Math. Joan C.<br />
Parker, a leader who cultivated creativity and<br />
inventiveness, collaborated with ELF throughout<br />
her career to bring innovative technology, handson<br />
learning and engineering programs to<br />
<strong>Easton</strong> students. These grants will ensure that<br />
Joan C. Parker's vision will continue in<br />
partnership with ELF to benefit <strong>Easton</strong> children.
Important Things We’d Like You to Know<br />
What is the <strong>Easton</strong> <strong>Learning</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>?<br />
The <strong>Easton</strong> <strong>Learning</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> (ELF), founded in 2004, is a nonprofit,<br />
tax-exempt organization of community volunteers that is<br />
dedicated to quality education and lifelong learning for <strong>Easton</strong><br />
residents. To that end, the <strong>Foundation</strong> strives to secure financial and<br />
human resources for innovative educational projects and programs.<br />
All grants benefit the residents and businesses of <strong>Easton</strong> by making<br />
our community a highly desirable place to live, work and raise a<br />
family.<br />
What does the <strong>Easton</strong> <strong>Learning</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> board do?<br />
The ELF board meets monthly for two hours and its activities include:<br />
setting fundraising targets, assessing how well the <strong>Foundation</strong> is<br />
doing, improving interaction with the community and reviewing<br />
school grant requests. The grant approval process is a critical<br />
function of the ELF board. The board reviews each grant to ensure<br />
that each project will improve the learning experience in the<br />
classroom and verifies that the cost of the grant is not covered by the<br />
school budget. We take our mission very seriously and strive for the<br />
maximum impact from donations.<br />
How does ELF reach out to the public?<br />
ELF donations are at work everyday in our schools, and we want to<br />
keep donors informed. We update our website continuously, send email<br />
blasts to our subscribers, post news on Facebook, and e-mail an<br />
annual “Donation Report” to the community.<br />
What types of grants does ELF fund?<br />
We have many grant requests for classroom projects, teacher<br />
development and innovative technology. ELF is funding grants at all<br />
<strong>Easton</strong> schools and has announced a five-year focus on Science,<br />
Technology, Engineering and Math through 2014. Please visit our<br />
website for grant history and details on the five-year STEM campaign.<br />
How does ELF raise money?<br />
ELF has a town-wide Trivia Bee in May, a used sports equipment sale<br />
in September, an annual community appeal letter campaign and social<br />
events throughout the year. In addition, ELF offers the STARS<br />
teacher gift program year round. ELF is building a community-wide<br />
spirit for excellence in education, and we have many goals to reach<br />
this year on behalf of our students and teachers.<br />
ANNUAL TOWN-WIDE APPEAL DONATIONS TO ELF<br />

Why would I donate to ELF if I don’t have children in<br />
<strong>Easton</strong> public schools?<br />
The foundation seeks broad community support to achieve its<br />
mission: to promote excellence, innovation, and creativity in<br />
education for our children and community. Whether or not every<br />
family has a child presently in our schools, our education system is an<br />
important asset to the community affecting everything from our<br />
quality of life to our property values. Many residents want to enable<br />
our students with the skills to be globally competitive and improve<br />
our national security. ELF provides a way for donors to enrich<br />
education to provide students with a state-of-the-art education in this<br />
ever-changing global economy. We hope you include the <strong>Easton</strong><br />
<strong>Learning</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> in your giving plans this year.<br />
How can I help?<br />
You can help ELF through financial support and/or volunteer work.<br />
Many residents are very busy and prefer to make a donation.<br />
Donations are a productive and efficient way to support the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> and are essential to our success. We are grateful to our<br />
financial donors. ELF also needs volunteers at all levels of involvement<br />
ranging from people helping out occasionally at events, to board<br />
members who are willing to attend monthly meetings and take on a<br />
variety of responsibilities for a year. ELF has opportunities on the<br />
newly formed Advisory Board. Our advisors meet with ELF officers<br />
quarterly to offer guidance on how to move the ELF mission forward.<br />
As a growing organization, ELF needs people with a variety of skill<br />
sets but most of all, people who are passionate about education.<br />
How do I get involved?<br />

Organizations like ELF are born from the sincere passion to make a difference in a student’s life. Since our inception in 2004 we have been overwhelmed<br />
with the interest, support and dedication of our community to join our mission to enrich <strong>Easton</strong>’s strong commitment to quality education<br />
and lifelong learning. Without the volunteers, the donors and the hard work of all who have touched ELF, we would not be where we are<br />
today. With heartfelt thanks we acknowledge in this newsletter those who have donated their time and financial support to us over the past year.<br />

Highlights of the year ahead<br />
Our Trivia Bee, established three years ago, began as a great opportunity for adults in our community to come together for the<br />
greater good of <strong>Easton</strong> students. Since then, not only has the number of participants grown but the crowd – especially students – in<br />
our audience truly contributes to one of the most fun evenings of the year. We encourage you to participate, spectate or support us<br />
however you can at this year’s Bee.<br />
