Ebinger

September 2012

Hello Ebinger families,

I wanted to give you an update on the activities of the Ebinger School Foundation at the start of this school year.

The Foundation contributed $48,000 in June 2012 in support of Ebinger’s “Let’s Get Connected” Technology Plan. This donation provided the funds to purchase new iMac computers for the Library, 40iPads for the mobile iPad lab, and SmartBoards for the Computer Lab and several classrooms. This donation is only possible as a result of the tremendous support from Ebinger families and the business community for the 2012 Ebinger Big Event Gala and Auction.

We will continue the Merchant Card program for this school year  - fund allocation TBD in September 2012

We will continue the Monthly Restaurant Nights for this school year.  Click here for the schedule.  Funds allocation TBD in September 2012.

We are pleased to announce a NEW Printer Cartridge Recycling fundraising program. More details to come soon.

We are tentatively planning for a November 2012 Fashion Show and an April 2013 Casino Night Big Event. Stay tuned for more details.

We will be holding an Open meeting in November / December. Watch the email for more information.
