 I
really appreciate the role the Fairfield Community School District
plays in developing the future leaders of our community. As a graduate
of FHS, I have the desire to give back to the teachers, students
and administration. The Fairfield Education Foundation has been
a great vehicle for me to support the schools through fund raising
and other activities.

The
grants given by the Education Foundation have enhanced
the learning environment for all students in the district.
Providing funds for new and innovating teaching aids makes
the classroom atmosphere interesting and encourages students
to participate and learn. The leaders for the future
are in our classrooms today. A sound and diverse educational
experience places young people on the path to success. By
investing in education, you can be a partner in the goal to
increase the learning, achievement and performance of all
students

Having served on various boards
and committees over the years, it is an honor to now serve as a
board member with the Fairfield Community School District Education
Foundation. The work of the Foundation provides resources and action
where the need is greatest -- in the classrooms of our public schools.
I am proud that our own children have attended Fairfield's schools
and graduated from FHS. The quality of the education they received
is second-to-none. Along with the Education Foundation, I pledge
to work to help the Fairfield Community School District continue
on its path of excellence.

"As
a former remedial reading teacher in the Fairfield School
district from 1975-1996, and now as a grandparent of children
attending our schools, I have always been proud of the high
quality education which is offered to students in the Fairfield
area. The Fairfield Education Foundation is one way we can
continue to provide the very best education for generations
to come."

Involvement in the Education Foundation is one way to demonstrate
commitment to our children and community. John Dewey wrote that
the aim of education is the enrichment of the individual and
society by developing a child’s “social power and insight”.
I hope others will take advantage of opportunities to show how
much we value education as the way to enhance the quality of
community life, and support the Foundation’s efforts. |

Like
many Iowa towns, Fairfield faces the challenge of both educating
its youth and retaining alumni. Teachers that go above and beyond
the call of duty not only impact their students’ educations,
they help influence the decisions of graduates to return to
our community and raise families. The Education Foundation provides
necessary funding to teachers who are positively impacting students
through extraordinary efforts. As a local businessman and expectant
father, I am committed to supporting our community’s outstanding
educators and am honored to be part of an organization that
serves such an important purpose. |

Our children
are our greatest resource for the continued economic growth
of our community. We must provide a superior public education
for all our children. The budget constraints our public
school systems are under require that we provide additional
resources to our education system and the Education Foundation
is an excellent vehicle to channel these resources to our educators
and the system. Our children are our future - let's take
care of them!

Education of our children today requires innovative
techniques and approaches different than those used for past generations.
Ongoing budget restraints sometimes prohibit our teachers from obtaining
materials necessary to provide that "fresh" approach needed
to teach their subject matter and enhance the standard textbook materials.
The Education Foundation will help fill that void and provide
our future citizens with
enhanced educational experiences. You can be a part of this process by
supporting our efforts and/or making donations. An investment in our
children is an investment in our future society. We appreciate your
support!

Teachers
are the ones educating our future leaders in all walks of life.
I feel it's important to provide them with the resources to do the
best job possible

I
believe the best facet about the Education Foundation is the direct
and tangible benefit to our students. It’s easy for contributors to
see where their dollars are going which is uncommon in non-profit
organizations today. I am proud to be a product of the Fairfield school
system (K-12) and honored to have been asked to serve on this Board.

Providing
a high quality education to the young people of Fairfield
is one of the most important things we can do. This requires
the efforts of many to give our educators the resources to enhance
the education process above and beyond the level traditional
sources allow. The Education Foundation is an excellent
vehicle to allow individuals to personally contribute to our
education system. It has shown that it can make a difference
in Fairfield and it will continue to do so.
