Thank You Letters

Hello,

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to the Cedarburg Education Foundation for the wonderful grant you gave the elementary PE teachers in Cedarburg to purchase DDR equipment for our classrooms.

Second quarter recently ended, and as I was writing some report card comments, I had a really good chance to observe my student's progress on their steps through a written log they kept. It was encouraging to see that almost all of my students made significant increases in the number of steps they completed during our DDR unit. I think they were highly motivated by it as well when they got to record a new score each day!

Thank you for all that you have done to help improve and enhance the education of students in Cedarburg School District. Thank you for helping out the elementary PE program in the district, and I just would also like to say that the Gala event was a wonderful event!

Again, your organization has created such a positive emphasis on education and has generated funds that will create some great programs for students. Thanks for all of your hard word and time put into this positive endeavor!

Dear Cedarburg Education Foundation Members,

I am writing to express our gratitude on behalf of the entire Cedarburg High School Science Department for your generous support towards the purchase of a MultiGene Thermal Cycler. We are excited to have our students gain more experience in the areas of biotechnology and genetics through the use of this piece of equipment.

We are thankful to have received this grant and look forward to giving you updates as we incorporate the Thermal Cycler into the biology classes. Thank you for supporting science education in our area - we will put these materials to good use.

Thank you,

Dear Mr. Goldbeck:

What exciting news that the CEF will be funding a grant for the High School IMC. The Gale Virtual Reference Library of electronic books will be an excellent resource for students. The benefit of this reference library is that multiple students may use a specific resource at the same time.

The business office has been contacted and the order for the reference library is being processed. Working with Gale Learning, we are together taking needed steps to create access to these electronic resources.

I look forward to the start of the school year when I can share with students and staff the wealth of resources that will be available through the Gale Virtual Reference Library. Thank you for your support of education in the Cedarburg Schools.

Sincerely,
Deanna L. Barth
IMC Director
Cedarburg High School

Dear Cedarburg Education Foundation,

Thank you so much for approving my recent grant application to bring River Edge into partnership with Westlawn School! As you may know, we have recently begun to work cooperatively with Faith Lutheran Church and the City of Cedarburg to restore the Westlawn Woods to a more native state. At the same time, adding learning stations and walking paths. So, the timing of the grant is perfect! Thank you, again, for supporting educational endeavors at Westlawn and throughout the school district.
