Introducing the New JEF 2.0
The Jericho Educational Foundation is an independent non-profit organization whose goal is to support and enrich the school and community by identifying, facilitating, and funding projects that will enhance the standard of educational excellence in the Jericho School District. At this time, the JEF already has 2 exciting projects underway for the 2013-2014 school year:
1. The Initiative Project-In June, we announced our fourth annual Initiative Project. All faculty and staff across the school district have been invited to submit grant proposals for consideration by the JEF Board of Directors. Up to five proposals will be awarded grants for up to $2500 each. The emphasis of this program is to fund projects or ideas that inspire, enhance or enrich the standard of educational excellence for students within the Jericho School district. We are looking for ideas with creative and innovative programming across all schools, grades, departments and subjects. The deadline for submission is September 13th and winners will be announced October 4th.
2. Paving The Way For Educational Excellence This is an amazing opportunity for all Jericho students, parents, alumni, and community members to make a lasting contribution to the Jericho Schools. The JEF has been granted approval to re-brick the circular entrance in front of the High School/Middle School. We will be selling engraved bricks beginning September 3rd through November 22nd with an estimated installation date of mid-May. The net proceeds from all brick sales will directly benefit the entire educational community from the elementary schools through the high school by providing the resources to create a completely wireless academic community.

Space is limited! Deadline is November 24, 2013
