Many of you received our recent mailing and have renewed your annual membership with BerwynCARES. Thank you! We appreciate your interest and could not have existed without the support of people like you. Over the course of the last year, we have continued working toward our mission of uniting residents interested in renewing and sustaining an enthusiasm, interest and passion for the education system in Berwyn.
Some of our Efforts and Accomplishments Over the Past Year:
*Donated over $3,500 to fund projects in Berwyn schools via "The Berwyn Challenge" with Donors Choose
*Awarded five $1,000 scholarships to students graduating from Morton West
*Sponsored and organized children's activities at Berwyn's OktoberFest
*Hosted two children's concerts at Fitzgerald's to raise money for school projects and college scholarships
*Continued the BerwynCARES blog, which addresses educational issues relevant to Berwyn
*Regularly attended school board meetings to make our voices heard on issues of importance to the school districts
*Publicly addressed the District 201 board when students were asked by teachers and coaches to work for the campaign of a local politician. CARES recommended that the board implement electioneering guidelines.
*CARES members actively participated in focus groups with District 201 on the search for a new school superintendent and new principal at Morton West
*CARES board members participate in District 100 advisory committees to help the District 100 create and execute its long term strategic vision
If you haven't already, we hope that you will renew your membership for this coming year! Please consider pledging at a higher level, knowing that BerwynCARES is committed to our mission.
Together we can make a difference!
