Who We Are:
About The Cover:
A new class of Take Stock in Children
scholars is featured. Take Stock is a statewide program, sponsored in Bay County by
the Bay Education Foundation. This program
offers scholarships, mentors, and hope to
qualified students. Students apply for the
program in grade six, and those accepted
receive a unique opportunity to enhance
their academic goals.
Successful Take
Stock scholars must maintain good grades,
attendance, and behavior. They are required
to remain drug and crime free, volunteer in
the community and meet regularly with a
mentor. Students who meet these standards
receive a college scholarship as well as
college readiness benefits. Funds to support
these scholarships are raised locally and
matched dollar-for-dollar by the legislature
through the Florida Prepaid College
Foundation. For more information, contact
the Bay Education Foundation at 767-4111 or
www.bayeducationfoundation.org.

Extraordinary People on an Extraordinary Mission
The Bay Education Foundation, Inc. is a charitable organization comprised of community members who
want the best education possible for local students. With an overarching mission of promoting excellence in
public education, the Bay Education Foundation addresses this mission through four programs, all of which
are designed to stimulate, identify, or enhance excellence in local K-12 education. The Foundation depends
on the support of over 800 individuals and organizations who are doers, not talkers.
Programs:
Four Reasons to Give
Take Stock in Children: This is a college preparation program that provides scholarships, mentors, and
hope to promising students. In general, our students begin Take Stock at the end of sixth grade and remain in
the program until they graduate from college or complete a certificate program. Currently, we are serving 107
middle and high school students. All eligible grade six students are invited to apply during the January 2015
application period.
Classroom Grants: Classroom teachers can apply for up to $500 to help fund innovative classroom
projects that are designed to improve student achievement. Between fifty and seventy-five grants are awarded
each year in four categories. All employees are invited to apply.
Awards of Excellence: Showcase events such as the Three Rivers Science Fair, the Tom Barefield
History Fair, the Best of Bay Student Art Show, Math Counts, and the Fifth Grade Choral Festival are
designed to encourage students to produce outstanding work. Recognition events such as Teacher of the Year,
Support Employee of the Year, and Principal/Assistant Principal of the Year also highlight outstanding job
performance. The Foundation is proud to assist the school district with these events.
Employee Tuition Assistance: Tuition assistance is provided for employees who choose to return to
school to upgrade their skills in ways that benefit students and the school district. All employees are invited
to apply.
Donations:
Four Ways to Give
Sponsorships: The Foundation conducts three fund-raising events annually: Strides for Scholars, Arts
Alive, and Golf FORE Education. Funds from these events are used to provide scholarships and classroom
grants. Sponsorships range in price from $100 to $10,000.
Memberships: Over 800 individuals make annual membership donations to the Foundation. Memberships
range from $20 to $1,000 a year.
Memorial Gifts: Many community members donate to the Foundation in memory of loved ones. Memorial
gifts are placed in the scholarship fund or in a particular area, depending on the donor’s wishes.
License Plates: Local drivers can donate to the Foundation when they purchase or renew their car tags.
Drivers can either purchase the special “Support Education” tag or can elect to include a small donation to
Take Stock in Children. In either case, your local foundation receives the funds.

Dear Friends of Education:
Last August, my oldest granddaughter drove a beverage
cart at the Bay Education Foundation’s Golf FORE Education
tournament. I mention this because we are now into our
third generation of support for the Foundation. My wife, my
three children, and I have volunteered for the Bay Education
Foundation for over twenty years. Various family members
have worked as mentors, board members, donors, and
volunteers. We join with the hundreds of other supporters
listed in Footnotes 2015 in continuing our commitment to
enhance learning and teaching in Bay District Schools. Having
celebrated the Foundation’s 25th anniversary last year, we are
working hard to make the next twenty-five years even better.
The Junior League’s Excellence in Education grants,
Awards of Excellence, and Take Stock in Children are some
of the initiatives that we use to support teaching and learning
in Bay District Schools.
A key part of our mission is promoting greater community involvement in education. You
can become a part of this important work by mentoring, donating, sponsoring, or volunteering.
One of our goals for the next twenty-five years is expanding our scholarship program by helping
more students and by providing additional support of those with profound need. We welcome
participation from all parts of our community.
Please visit www.bayeducationfoundation.org orcall 850-767-4111 for more information.
Sincerely,
Board of Directors

Bay Education Foundation Welcomes New Take Stock in Children Scholars
The Bay Education
Foundation’s Take Stock in
Children program inducted
twenty-five new scholars on
May 20, 2015, at the Panama
Country Club. The students and
their parents signed a contract
with the Foundation to focus on
achievement, attendance, and
attitude throughout their time in
school. Students also promise to
remain drug-and crime-free and
to volunteer in their community.
“Our Take Stock in Children
provides a two-year college
tuition plan to the students who
meet our standards,” says Don
O’Neal, scholarship committee
chairman. “This is a great
opportunity for sixth graders to
become a part of a meaningful
program that will help them
develop into scholars.”
New scholars include Caleb
Bushnell, Bay Haven; Audrey
Brooks and Melody Nguyen,
Breakfast Point; Chance Locklear
and MiKayla Locklear, Everitt;
Abby Koss and Gabrielle Turner,
Jinks; Shakirra Cook, Joshua
Diaz, Abigayle Meyers, Michelle
Nye, Eirick Taylor, Brooklin
Ward, and Abbie Williamson,
Merritt Brown; Dalton Capps,
Kaziyah Cole, Eve Curths, and
Grace Elliott, Mowat; Mya
Martin, Yesenia Moore, and
Neveah Pothoven, Palm Bay
Preparatory Academy; Andrew
Mayers, Adrianna McCray, and
Zechariah Nelson, North Bay
Haven; Sheen Wang, Surfside
Middle School.
In addition to the two-year
tuition scholarship, the Take
Stock in Children program
provides mentors, staff support,
and guidance to ensure that the
students—many of whom are the
first in their families to attend
college—are prepared for the
rigors of college coursework.
Students also receive book
scholarships from the Gulf Coast
State College Foundation and the
Florida State University-Panama
City Foundation.
”Mentoring is an important
part of Take Stock,” says Janet
Kessler, Mentor Coordinator of
the Bay Education Foundation.
“Each new scholar will be
matched with an adult mentor
who will help guide and support
the student during the school
year.” The Foundation welcomes
mentor volunteers at any time
and stresses that mentoring is not
tutoring. The application process
and training program are brief but
thorough.
A number of private individuals,
businesses, and organizations
work to provide local funds which
are matched dollar for dollar
by the state through the Florida
Prepaid Tuition Foundation.
Major donors include the
Nelson Family Foundation, the
St. Joe Foundation, Allstate
Construction, Thrivent Financial,
and Reliant South Construction
Group. The Bay Education
Foundation also raises funds at
its annual Golf FORE Education
tournament, Strides for Scholars
race and Arts Alive event to fund
the scholarship program.
Take Stock in Children is the best
known program of the Bay Education
Foundation, and mentoring is the
best part of Take Stock in Children.
Each Take Stock student has a
mentor who, in addition to parents
and school personnel, serves as a
resource for the student. Being a
mentor is as easy—and as hard—as
being a good friend.
“Mentoring is not tutoring,”
emphasizes Janet Kessler, Mentor
Coordinator. “We ask our mentors
to encourage students to do their
best in school, but mentors do not
provide academic instruction.”
Kessler explains that making clear
the difference between mentoring
and tutoring is very important when
it comes to mentor recruitment.
As a part of National Mentoring
Month every January, the Bay
Education Foundation honors an
individual as Mentor of the Year, as a
way to celebrate all the mentors who
work in the Take Stock in Children
program.
For 2015, Dr. Lynn d’Albertis
was selected. A data specialist, Dr.
d’Albertis began her involvement
with the Take Stock in Children
program in Bay County because she
recognized the value of the program.
Like all Take Stock mentors,
d’Albertis has worked diligently to
“change a life over lunch” with the
student she has mentored for the
past six years. Her weekly meetings
with her mentee,
Bay High graduate
Lindsey Gallagher,
have helped Lindsey
focus on graduating
from high school and
attending college. A
major strategy Dr.
d’Albertis used was
encouraging Lindsey
to try a variety of activities and
classes to discover her interests and
strengths. Both Lynn and Lindsey
agree that their match has been a
particularly strong one, as they share
many interests. “Even my mom
calls her my second mom,” says
Gallagher. “She always knows if
something is wrong and drags it out
of me.”
The Bay Education Foundation
welcomes new volunteer mentors
throughout the year.
Anyone
interested in learning more about
mentoring and the Take Stock in
Children program is urged to contact
the Bay Education Foundation
at 767-4111 or visit www.

BE THE DIFFERENCE. BECOME A MENTOR.
It takes just one hour a week to make a
difference that lasts a lifetime. When you choose
to mentor, you’ll offer guidance and support to
a student who has the odds stacked against
them. They’ll pledge to stay out of trouble, keep
their grades up, and stay in school. With your
help, they’ll make it happen – and they’ll earn a
college scholarship in the process.

Thrivent Financial Presents Strides for Scholars
The fourth annual Strides for Scholars
5K and Fun Run was held on Panama City’s
scenic St. Andrews route on February 28,
2015, and almost 500
participants enjoyed
an exhilarating run
for a good cause.
Proceeds from this
event are used in
the Take Stock in
Children scholarship
program.
Presented by Thrivent Financial
Services, the event began near the Panama
City
Memorial
Park and followed
the safe and scenic
St. Andrews route
outlined in the
city’s event manual.
Awards and brunch
followed the Fun
Run at the school
district’s main offices in the Nelson Building
on Balboa Avenue.
“Thrivent enjoys sponsoring this
event,” said Juan Andrada, event chair and
sponsor. “We are focused on supporting
the communities where
our customers work and
play.”
Other sponsors
of Strides for Scholars
2015 included Arthur
Rutenberg Homes; Dr.
Charles Voorhis; InkTrax;
and WHATABURGER.
In addition to awards
for individuals, this event also includes a
competition among schools for the largest
number of participants.
Northside
Elementary
School has dominated this
contest for all four years.
An additional award,
the
Superintendent’s
Silver Shoe Trophy, was
introduced in 2015 and
goes to the school with the
fastest average time. Mosley High School
was the first winner of this rotating trophy.
“We would
love to grow
to a thousand
runners,” says
Lori
Hast,
principal of the
Margaret K.
Lewis School
in Millville,
who will cochair the event
in 2016. “We
hope
more
people
will
join us next
year.”
If you are willing to help grow this event,
mark your calendar for the fifth annual
Strides for Scholars event, which will be
held on February 27, 2016. Runners will
be able to sign up through active.com or
www.bayeducationfoundation.org later in
the fall. For information about sponsoring
this event, please contact Janet Kessler at
767-4111.
Junior League-Excellence in Education
A total of 4,620 kids benefited from the
Excellence in Education grant program
during the most recent school year. Together,
the Junior League and the Bay Education
Foundation provided almost $31,000 to fund
sixty-two classroom projects during the 201415 school year. Projects designed to promote
literacy, build STEM skills, or provide
career/technical education helped students in
elementary, middle, and high schools.
“I want everybody to know what a huge
difference the Junior League makes in our
schools,” says Beth Deluzain, Executive
8
Director of the Bay Education Foundation.
“Many of these projects are among the most
exciting, meaningful activities the students
will do during the school year.”
Many Excellence in Education projects
create unique learning experiences. One of
the most intriguing projects, “Hatch a Batch,”
helped Cherry Street students explore life
cycles of animals and plants by hatching
ducks, chickens, butterflies, and lady bugs
in their classroom. Another project funded
a series of “grab and go” lab activities
for physical science classrooms at Everitt
bayeducationfoundation.org
Middle School. At Rosenwald High School,
students have been able to create gardens and
distributed produce to the local community
in a program that has received national
recognition, learning both science and life
lessons.
Applications for the next round of
Excellence in Education grants are due
September 14, 2015. Any Bay District
employee may apply for grant to impact
student learning.
Please visit www.
bayeducationfoundation.org
for
more
information.

Allstate Construction Presents Arts Alive in Bay 2015
Arts
Alive
is
one of the best shows
in town, and anyone
can attend.
Allstate
Construction presented
the fifth edition of Arts
Alive on April 4, 2015, at
Edgewater Beach Resort
to raise funds for the Bay
Education Foundation’s
Take Stock in Children
and Classroom Grants
programs.
The
reception
provided time to catch up
with friends, sample hors
d’oeuvres, view the visual arts gallery, and place a bid
in the silent auction. Following the reception, guests
enjoyed a three-course dinner, a live auction, and an
amazing variety show featuring the best performers in
Bay District Schools.
“The theme of this event is always a great time
for a great cause,” said Jennifer Watson, Arts Alive
chairman. “We keep the focus on fun, and our patrons
really appreciate that.” Watson served as the producer
of the event and Sharon Carroll, a highly regarded local
performer, designed and directed the show.
Auditions
Any student or employee in Bay District Schools
was eligible to apply for auditions, which took place on
January 9 & 10, 2015. A panel of out-of-town judges
evaluates the acts and creates the cast to ensure a wellrounded variety show for the audience. In addition
to controlling the quality of the event, the audition
process also gives performers a very realistic learning
experience.
