  Fund For Educational Excellence Nets $20,000 For School Grants  
  March 23, 2017 Edition  
     The Boardman Schools Fund for Educational Excellence (BSFEE) held their second annual Reverse Raffle fundraiser on Fri., Mar. 10. The Boardman Local Schools staff members created and donated 25 baskets along with the many donations from businesses in our community and the community at large, for the basket raffle and silent auction, raising $20,000 for the BSFEE fundraiser.
      In 2009, a group of involved Boardman citizens began exploring ways to support and enhance the program of the Boardman Schools and further enrich the lives of our students. In these challenging times, the Boardman Local School District has maintained excellence in its academic, athletic and arts programs in spite of decreased funding from the State of Ohio. Toward the goal of supporting our schools, the Boardman Schools Fund For Educational Excellence was established.
      Joyce Mistovich, President of the BSFEE, states, “Every great school system is supported by an even greater community. Boardman Local Schools joined by our community, have always given our children all of the tools they need to build a legacy of excellence as they move forward in life.”
      Sponsors for BSFEE Reverse Raffle included: Title Sponsors: Phantom Fireworks, Bruce Zoldan and Buckeye Dealership Consulting, Rob & Kris Fox. Gold Sponsors include: Compco Industries, Gwen Smith-Darnell, Greg Smith; Dr. & Mrs. Robert DeMarco; Kate & Sid Jones; Packer Thomas, Rick Schafer; and Signature Granite Company, Tom & Lindsay Skook. Silver Sponsors include: Cal-Ohio Lube Products Co., Robert & Lynn Sahli; Frank & Charleen Lazzeri; Kim Poma; and Rick’s Ranchwear, Rick & Joni Blase. Bronze Sponsors include: Boardman News, John Darnell; Boardman Township Park, Dan Slagle; Farmers Trust, Joe DePascale, President; and Henderson, Covington, Messenger, Newman & Thomas Co., Christopher Newman.
      The BSFEE recently awarded a Grant totaling $7500 to recipients, for the current year 2016-2017 on Dec. 14. Recipients were included at Stadium Drive Elementary, West Blvd. Elementary, Glenwood Jr. High, and music departments K-4 at all elementary schools.
      Through donations over the past 6 1/2 years, the Boardman Schools Fund for Educational Excellence has given back $48,000 to classroom teachers in financial support of projects which extend beyond the scope of funding by the state of Ohio’s educational budget and help students develop their talents and interests by providing our youth with the keys to a successful future.
      The BSFEE are very grateful to the Boardman Education Association for their partnership and continued financial support of their mission. The BSFEE is a component fund of the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley.
