SUPERINTENDENT DANIEL TANOOS
At the end of each school year when I am asked to compose a letter to be included in the Vigo County
Education Foundation’s annual report, I take an opportunity to reflect back upon the successes and
challenges of that year. The educational climate in our state and even our nation always presents a
few challenges, particularly those of a fiscal nature. Our school corporation is often asked to do more
and more for students and to do it with less and less dollars. I find, though, that the challenges pale in
comparison to, and are overshadowed by, the successes the Vigo County School Corporation provides
for students.
An outstanding example of the success that I see is the work of the Vigo County Education Foundation
(VCEF). The VCEF connects the generous, giving community in which we all live and work to the
needs of our schools. Businesses, corporations, service organizations, foundations and many
dedicated individual donors have joined with the Foundation to provide enhanced learning
opportunities for our students.
With the help of the VCEF, students are receiving extended day tutoring and becoming more proficient at reading with
fluency at many of our schools. Through teacher and principal requested grants, chicks and ducklings are being hatched,
science experiments conducted, engines and bat houses built, Family Math and Book Bingo nights held, and even art and
physical education supplies supplemented. Children are enticed to attend school every day with creative attendance
programs, and are acquiring lifelong skills such as hard work, self control, determination, and goal-setting in anti-bullying
and character building programs.
Please consider the Vigo County Education Foundation in your charitable giving plans – 15,500+ children will thank you!

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR FOUNDATION LEADERSHIP
Throughout its history, the Vigo County Education Foundation has focused its fund raising efforts
and its expenditures to enrich the educational experience of children enrolled in our public schools.
Over the years, the Foundation has awarded grants,
funded projects, and honored teachers to help this
Mr. Donald T. Scott
community’s school system thrive.
President
Nothing is easier today than it was when the
Foundation was started—our school personnel confront
many funding challenges and the needs of our children
remain great. Yet, because of the generosity of our donors
and the dedication of our volunteers, the Foundation is
doing outstanding work. In the 2012-13 school year the
Foundation awarded over $187,000 in grants for projects
large and small. These projects may be targeted to a single
class or to a school. We remain impressed by the
resourcefulness and innovation reflected by school
teachers and administrators—people who stretch the
donated dollar to make a huge impact on students.
Mrs. Jennifer Thomas,
Executive Director
Our public school leaders report success system-wide for improving academic achievement. The
Foundation plays a role in supporting that momentum and considers itself a partner with the Vigo
County School Corporation to continue a focus on student success and preparation. My wife and I are the
parents of six children—the eldest of whom recently graduated, and the two youngest will enter the
public school system soon. We have seen first-hand the dedicated work of teachers, the excellent
environment in which our children and others learn, and the need as a community to support that work.
Your contributions are stewarded with care and are deeply appreciated.
Please read this annual report and share our Board’s pride in the achievements of the most
recent school year—and please join in this critical mission to support public education in our
community. You can follow our achievements at www.vigocountyeducationfoundation.org or support
our work by sending your check to P. O. Box 3703, Terre Haute, IN 47803.
Sincerely,
Donald T. Scott

ABOUT THE VCEF
T
he Vigo County Education
Foundation
(VCEF) is a nonprofit
organization founded in
1984 to provide enhanced
learning opportunities for
the children in Vigo County.
The VCEF is a self-reliant organization through fundraisers, personal donations, and
corporate sponsorships and
contributions.
A volunteer Board of Directors that is comprised of
parents, teachers, administrators, and business and
community leaders governs
the Foundation. Our primary
goal is to augment public
education through building
strong partnerships between
the schools and the community. One successful way we
accomplish this is through
funding classroom educational project grants. The
Foundation’s grant program
funnels more assistance directly to projects designed to
address the unmet needs of
our children.
As citizens of our community, we can take pride in
providing the very best education for our children. The
education that our children
receive is a great benefit to
their futures and to the future of our community. At
the VCEF, we believe that “an
investment in knowledge
pays the best interest.”

VCEF FUNDRAISERS
he VCEF offers many different fundraisers and programs to foster community support of
public education. These programs range from our annual golf scramble to payroll
deductions to the Thank-A-Teacher program. You can play a vital role in enhancing
education for Vigo County students by contributing to one of these great programs.
Benefit Bowl
Payroll Deduction
The “I Believe It’s Not A Gutter” Benefit Bowl is a fun
night of bowling, hors d’oeuvres, and an exciting live
auction with Auctioneer Superintendent Tanoos. Held
in September, this annual event raises money for Vigo
County Education Foundation restricted funds.
Generous contributions are made by Vigo County
School Corporation employees who want to support
the VCEF. Employees who enroll in the payroll
deduction program have a small amount of money
withheld from their pay every week. The resulting
funds help the Foundation grow and expand its
granting capacity. Just consider this: If 100 teachers
gave $2.00/pay, we would have $5,200 more to grant!
Fore the Kids Golf Tournament
This golf scramble is held annually on the first Friday
in August. The funds raised from this event help
support VCEF sponsored programs such as classroom
grants, academic competition funds, attendance
programs and recognition of excellent teachers in Vigo
County. Our golfers, sponsors, and volunteers make
this event possible.
Planned Giving
This giving option allows patrons to consider the
future of the Foundation during their estate planning
process. A planned gift to the VCEF can help ensure
the future prosperity of our schools. Please contact
the Foundation office if you are contemplating such a
gift.
“Committed to Education” License Plates
The Bureau of Motor Vehicles offers a specialized
license plate that benefits the Vigo County Education
Foundation. The license plate has been updated to
feature the new Read On, Indiana! initiative beginning
in 2011. By selecting the “Committed to Education”
license plate at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, the VCEF
will receive $18.75 of the $40.00 expenditure to help
fund programs created by teachers throughout the
Vigo County School Corporation.
Thank-A-Teacher
This program allows parents, students, or loved ones
to make a contribution to the VCEF in the name of an
outstanding teacher, coach, or school employee. In
return for their hard work and dedication, the honoree
will receive a special pin and certificate. The donation
given to the VCEF will return to the schools through
classroom grants awarded to teachers.
Major Savers
Tributes
Spring sales of restaurant discount cards in
elementary and middle schools throughout the
Corporation provide a major source of income to
individual schools and the Foundation.
Tribute gifts are made to honor those whose
accomplishments in life underscore their commitment
to lifelong learning.
Memorial Gifts
The VCEF offers a way to honor the memory of friends
or loved ones who believed in the power of education
to change lives positively.
Luau for Literacy
Held in the spring, this new event featuring Caribbean
food, music, and hula dancing, raises money for the
VCSC summer enrichment and remediation programs.

LICENSE PLATES SALES
he Education Foundation license plate has a new look this year but don’t let that look confuse you.
The proceeds from the sale of these plates continues to illustrate your support of
Education Foundation programs.
You can help support the Vigo County Education Foundation and local schools by purchasing a “Committed
to Education” license plate. The original design, featuring Garfield the Cat, has been updated to feature the
new Read On, Indiana! initiative. The plates can be purchased from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and the
VCEF will receive $18.75 for every “Committed to Education” license plate purchased.
Funds generated from the education license plate program help fund teacher created programs throughout
the Vigo County School Corporation. To purchase an education plate, ask for the “Committed to Education”
plate at your local license branch. Make sure to indicate that your contribution should go to the Vigo
County Education Foundation.
