Help Students In Eugene District 4J Get The

 

Basics & Beyond

 

Thank You!

A record $890,076 was contributed in 2009 for the support of Eugene schools, representing a 14% increase over 2008.

Of these dollars, 66% went to the school or district program named by the donor.  The other 34% was used to support all schools across the district, primarily through EEF's fall grant cycle.

This fall, 114 grants were funded by EEF.  This represents 89% of the all proposals schools sent us in October!

This is the most successful campaign ever, and we want to express sincere appreciation to the generous donors who made this happen.  


EEF builds strong public schools by promoting community involvement and encouraging financial support.  You can make gifts that are unrestricted, or designated for a particular school or program.  They can also be placed in an endowment to benefit students for years to come.  For details follow the links below.  Thank you for supporting Eugene students!

 

Some of the many success stories...

 

Technology captures self-motivation

 

Between lectures, students at Kelly Middle School practice on computer-generated quizzes.  The penciled-in form is fed into the computer, which generates a new quiz containing harder questions for topics where the student is succeeding, but simpler questions in areas where they are struggling.  Read more about how your unrestricted gift to EEF provides more Grants like this one.

 

More classes, higher achievement

 

Science and math have been added at South Eugene High thanks to parent gifts.  Additional staffing, a frequent focus in schools, has multiple benefits:  extra sections serve more students, and they open up a course to students who had been prevented from enrolling due to scheduling conflicts.  Read more about how Earmarked Gifts to your school helps it meet needs like this one

 

Reading speed predicts success

Students with low reading speed (called “low fluency”) benefit most from quick intervention.  It turns out that fluency is a powerful predictor of many reading skills, and alone would be adequate to identify who needs extra help.  Click here to learn more about how Endowment gifts support 4J projects such as this one
