Recently, the Tenney-Lapham
Neighborhood Association awarded scholarship funds to Lapham, Marquette,
O'Keeffe and East High schools. TLNA became aware that valuable programming at
our neighborhood schools could be cut due to budgetary constraints. TLNA donated
$3,000 ($750 to each of the four schools).
Lapham Elementary School Principal
Barbara Thompson will use these funds to bring diversity programming to Lapham.
Lapham serves 220 students, grades K- 2.
Marquette Elementary School serves
212 students, grades 3-6. Principal Jerry Tollefson will use these funds for
school presentations and for a scholarship fund for field trips.
O'Keeffe Middle School has 430
students in grades 6-8. Principal Pat Delmore will use these funds to purchase
a microscope for the science lab, fund scholarships for field trips, and fund
multicultural presentations.
East High School has 2,040
students in grades 9-12. Principal Catherine Tillman will use these funds
to provide both necessities and enrichment experiences for East students.
According to the Principal many students will benefit from this generous
donation.
Thanks to all of you for
supporting our schools.
