2014-2015 Annual Report - Davis Education Foundation


Annual Report 2014-2015
The Davis Education
Foundation believes in the
importance of public education
and the success of every child.
The Foundation has worked
since its inception with friends
and partners to make a
difference in Davis School
District’s public schools.
The Foundation works
alongside teachers to provide
students the support
necessary to not only succeed
in the classroom, but to
succeed in life. Through its
efforts, students’ educational
experiences have been
enhanced, teachers’ resources
have been multiplied, and many
horizons have been broadened.
The Davis Education
Foundation believes in investing
in students and educators to
ensure a brighter future for our
children and community by
inspiring each child to succeed.
We thank each of our
community partners for
supporting the students and
for making the difference in
the life of a child. The
Foundation relies on good
partners to make educational
dreams become reality.

Message from the
Foundation Director
Thank you for investing in the children of Davis County. We know that the
return on your investment is invaluable in the life of a child. You are the
reason the Foundation has been successful in expanding the walls of the
classroom, providing students and teachers the resources, equipment,
experience and materials necessary for academic success.Your
funds have provided non-verbal students the gift of voice for
the first time with the aid of technology. We have been able to
provide essential clothing, shoes, and eyeglasses to children in
need. The Foundation, because of your generosity and
support, has provided technology labs, science equipment,
books, musical instruments, learning centers, field trips, and art
supplies to support the 70,000 students in our district.We
thank you. Our teachers and students thank you! It is an honor
and privilege to work with each of you. Without you, the work
would not be possible.
— Jodi Lunt
Foundation Director
Message from the
Foundation Board President
“Education is the most important thing we can give our children and
grandchildren. Resources for teachers and staff are limited and the
Foundation is committed to help provide things our tax dollars don’t
provide to enrich the learning experience for students in the Davis School
District. I personally value the great education I’ve received and the
educators who helped instill a love of learning in me that has
made my life so rich with opportunities. I want to do all I can to
help students in Davis County to have the same opportunities
that I had and stand shoulder to shoulder with the teachers who
give so much of their time and own means to provide the extra
things for their students. I’m proud to be part of the team at the
Davis Education Foundation that adds funds, resources and
recognition for these students and educators.”

“There is nothing more important than the educational success of
a child — it gives them hope, purpose and a sense of self. The
Davis Education Foundation works to provide educational
opportunities to ALL children who are in need and our community
is better served because of it. We become a more productive
society when educational needs are met.”

“The thing that’s so exciting to me about the Davis Education
Foundation is the support that they are able to give to the teachers and
students in the District. Davis School District is one of the most forwardthinking big-picture school districts in the country, and the Foundation
helps them fund new ideas that give kids amazing opportunities they
wouldn’t get otherwise.”

wanted
Our annual fundraising event combined a western theme with
entertainment, auctions and fine cuisine to raise funds for grants given
to schools within the Davis School District.
The Gala was held at the Davis Conference Center on April 24, 2015.
The event was made possible by our generous community partners
and sponsor.
At the 2015 Gala, more than $215,000 was raised. Many factors
contributed to the success, including attendees using their
smartphones to bid on 317 items. A special thank you to the schools
and communities that donated many of the items in the silent and live
auctions.
The talent for the night was made up of 31 individual students, or
groups of students, from the Davis School District. They shared their
musical abilities with the more than 850 people who attended the
event.

Message from
Our Gala Chair
“I have enjoyed working with the Foundation to be able to increase funds in whatever
way possible to give back to our schools. I have a child who attends kindergarten in the
Davis School District. We live in Davis County, so to start, it's very personal to me. The gala is an opportunity for us to earn a large sum of money by doing something nice
for the people who give. The Foundation staff works all year round from fall to spring
to make this a successful event. They are a great group of people who are working
hard constantly for the Davis School District, building relationships and increasing
everyone's knowledge and awareness of what they do for long-term philanthropic
results. The Gala is a way for companies and people to see where the money they donate is
going. It's a way to connect and network with the community we live in. I truly enjoy
hosting a big party and it's even more exciting to host a big party to earn money for a
great cause. Education is power. It's an energy we are passing on. It's a connection and a bridge we
are building for our future. I feel at the Gala we connect the generous donors to see
and hear the rewards of their donations. I enjoy hosting this event for our community to
experience this.
I will continue to serve Davis education in whatever way I can.” Samila Paul Decaria

Principal Note
“The Davis Education Foundation is a ‘life-saver’ for my school, teachers, classrooms,
and students. Mountain High School is an alternative high school. Over 50 percent of
our students are living in poverty. This presents some unique challenges. Our school is
small but our needs are many. Our facilities consist of a small brick-and-mortar building
with 16 additional portable classrooms. Our fitness facility is on another campus
located a block away from Mountain High. The fitness facility serves multiple
alternative programs including Renaissance Academy, Youth-in-Custody, and Mountain
High School. The equipment in the fitness facility has been ‘hand-me-downs’ from a
variety of sources until the Davis Education Foundation generously donated $13,000.00
to purchase new equipment and a new floor for the fitness facility. Additionally, our
teachers have applied and received the Cash for Classroom grants to purchase
classroom materials and supplies including; yoga mats, pedometers, small hand weights,
and fabric for student projects in FACS. Our students are the real beneficiaries of the
Davis Education Foundation and their generous partnerships. The Foundation has
donated many resources to offset the student needs for school supplies, coats, gloves,
and shoes, canned meats for our food pantry, scholarships, and personal care items for
our students. The Davis Education Foundation is continually providing support with
resources to Mountain High School to help students to be successful in their academic
pursuits and stay connected to school. Without this resource, we would be struggling to
meet the many and varied needs of our alternative students.”
— Kathleen Chronister, Mountain High School
Teacher Note
“Having written more than 20 grants, thus considering myself an expert in the grantwriting arena, I conclude no other organization proves as generous or concerned with
student learning and success as the Davis Education Foundation. In the past two
years, Syracuse Junior High has been able to purchase 20 new iPads due to funds
allocated by the Foundation. These iPads have gone directly into the hands of 7thgrade students, many of whom require the use of technology to be engaged in even
attending school. This technology, along with the exceptional teaching skills of devoted
teachers, has helped Syracuse Junior High, not only remain competitive with the
iGeneration we are teaching, but has significantly raised the level of achievement of our
students. The number of students failing has declined, the 7th-grade math scores were
above the district and state average, and the gains in math, specifically using the
ALEKS program, one that can be run on iPads, have been highlighted by the STEM
Action Center located in the Governor’s office and presented to the State Legislature. All of these outstanding achievements correlate directly with the arrival of the new
technology made possible by the Davis Education Foundation. The Foundation is
owed a hearty, public and deeply felt, ‘Thank you,’ from the stakeholders at Syracuse
Junior High. We are excited to continue to ensure student learning with your kind and
substantial contributions to Syracuse Junior High.”

Child Spree
For 192 children attending Davis School
District schools, Child Spree was a
chance to get new shoes, socks, clothes
and a backpack in preparation for the
start of a new school year.
Child Spree is funded by the Davis
Education Foundation and offers families
nominated by school principals a chance
to apply for a free shopping spree,
where $125 is spent on each child.
Those invited to participate were chosen
by their respective principals from
schools in the Davis School District.
Before the shopping began, each
student was paired with an adult
volunteer. The volunteers helped each
student choose basic necessities such
as shoes, socks, clothing, and a
backpack.
This year, the Child Spree had more
than 215 volunteers, many of whom are
Davis School District employees.
Davis Education
Foundation raised
$23,259
for this year’s
Child Spree
Community Events
Stuff the Bus
Many of our schools and students are in need of
school supplies. This event held at Young Kia was a
wonderful way to stock student backpacks and
classrooms. Every school supply brought to Young
Kia for this event was given to the Head Start
Program, and Young Automotive Group gave a
$7,000 donation to the Foundation.
Buick Drive for Students
Young Buick GMC held a Buick-funded fundraiser at Clearfield High
School on Nov. 1, 2014. The goal at this event was to get 500 people to
test-drive a brand-new Buick. Once 500 people test-drove, Buick donated
$10,000. It was an exciting and fun experience for all who volunteered
and drove the vehicles.
Trunk or Treat
Trunk or treat was a fun FREE family event hosted by Young
Chevrolet. Children and adults had the opportunity to
participate in face painting, bounce houses, coloring contests,
and lots of candy! For every coloring page received, Young
Automotive Group donated $5, for a total donation of $10,000.
Spring Into Literacy
Spring Into Literacy was an event held in March at Young Buick
in Layton. Students pledged to read five books and had the
chance to meet two of their favorite authors: Chad Morris and
B.K. Bostick. The authors signed books, the Easter bunny came
for a visit, and there were games and prizes galore. Young Buick
donated $5 for each reading pledge, for a total donation of
$5,000.
STEM Exposition
At the STEM Exposition held in the Davis Conference
Center in Layton, students from 16 high schools found
out how math and science translate to real-world
opportunities. The expo was open to students from the
Weber, Davis, Morgan and Ogden school districts as an
introduction to local companies that specialize in
transportation, software development, biomedical
technology, resource management, energy and other
STEM-related occupations.
In addition to meeting potential employers in the convention hall,
students also attended three elective presentations from a list
of local businesses and agencies that use STEM, such as GPS
wildlife tracking or computer animation.
The Davis Education Foundation raised the funds for this event
in the amount of $25,000.
Man of Stihl
Croft Sales and Service created the Man of STIHL
bike ride and proceeds of $5000 were donated
to support the Davis Education Foundation. Each
participant had the opportunity to play a heroic
part in helping Croft Sales and Service and STIHL
benefit the students of the Davis School District.
Participants splashed their way through either a 30mile or 62-mile course.
Davis CARE
The Davis Education Foundation and Chevron are
proud participants in the Davis CARE Awards;
Celebrate Achievement, Reward Excellence.
The award recognizes and honors exceptional
employees in the Davis School District who support
and encourage excellence in education. Each winner

Education Foundation enjoys this opportunity to say
thank you to our excellent educators annually.

With
Steven Sheinkin
Steven Sheinkin shared what inspires him as part of
the Davis Reads program. He was the guest author
who spoke on Oct. 22, 2014 at Layton High School.
As part of the evening, military personnel were
honored and a few World War II veterans received a
special recognition.
Davis Reads continues to have events throughout
the school year around the theme “It’s All About
Time.” The goal is to surpass 3 million pages read.
Students and employees across the district, as well
as families and the community, are invited to
participate.
Davis Reads is sponsored by the Davis School
District, Davis Education Foundation, and Target.

Throughout the school year, many children
are in need of clothing and other essential
items. Through the Kid’s Closet program,
the Davis Education Foundation provides
the funding for the purchase of the
essential items needed.
Plant a Tree and
Good Neighbor Program
Modern Woodmen encourages each local chapter
to organize a tree-planting project each year.
Through the Plant a Tree Program, Modern
Woodmen donates up to $250 for the cost of
trees.

provide hands-on labor to repair and beautify
structures or environments in their communities.
Modern Woodmen provides $500 in funding to

“Having the opportunity to work with and associate with those in the
Davis Education Foundation has been a great blessing in my life. The
opportunity to help in the important work of educating our youth is one
that is both fulfilling and will deliver long term societal benefits to our
community. As Benjamin Franklin said, ‘An investment in knowledge pays
the best interest.’ The critical work the Davis Education Foundation does
allows our community to make this important investment in our children’s
education. This investment has and will continue to pay massive
dividends not only in our local communities but around the world as our
educated and prepared youth touch the lives of the people around the
world. If you have not participated in this great work there is no better
time than now to get involved. With so many different ways to get
involved including volunteer hours, hosting an educational event,
sponsoring programs, hosting a fundraiser, participating in network events,
and making a monetary contribution there is room for every community
member to get involved and participate. Please come and
help us invest in our students and educators to ensure a
brighter future for our children and community by inspiring
each child to succeed.” — Oliver Young
