DCEF and Lexington Home Brands Award Teacher Mini Grants! -
November/December 2007

 The Davidson County Education Foundation and Lexington Home Brands recently awarded teacher mini grants to classroom teachers totaling $3,000. A total of 11 grants were awarded. DCEF administers the selection process.

Mini-grants give classroom teachers extra dollars so students can have enhanced learning experiences. Each proposal is carefully evaluated for its tie to the required curriculum, realistic goals, benefit to students, clarity and reasonable budget.

Lexington Home Brands provides mini-grant applications during August to schools in the West, Central and North Davidson attendance areas. Thomasville Furniture Industries provides similar teacher mini-grants for the schools in the East, South, and Ledford attendance areas, but are not administered by DCEF.

Lexington Home Brands underwrites the funding and awards grants during the fall semester. To date, $63,500 in funding has provided 225 mini-grants to DCS teachers.

A sincere thanks to all teachers who applied and to Lexington Home Brands for funding this program.


DCEF Revamping Fundraising Efforts! -
February 2008

 The Board of Directors of the Davidson County Education Foundation recently approved a comprehensive study of the organizations fundraising efforts. This course of action is a result of the boards decision to forego the groups "Tour of Schools" bike ride held each May on the campus of the Davidson County Community College.

Leaders are currently studying DCEF's fundraising programs, past and present, and will present a more detailed plan to the board at a future meeting. Although we are appreciative of the past support received from individuals for our bike ride, we are more exited about our future direction of focusing on more relationship-building initiatives.

We are are also pleased to announce recent financial contributions from Thomasville Furniture Industries, Wal-Mart of Thomasville, and Allen Tate Realty. A special thank you to these organizations for including DCEF in their community involvement programs.
