MGEF Annual Celebration

The Monona Grove Education Foundation values the quality of education provided in our district by enabling all students access to unique and well-rounded opportunities throughout their education at MGSD. The MGEF aids these educational opportunities through its Innovation Grants. The Innovation Grants are awarded via an application process to those teachers who are willing to push the boundaries of education. Over the last 10 years MGEF has awarded grants in the amounts of $11,000+ to Monona Elementaries, $13,000+ to Cottage Grove Elementaries, $21,000+ to Glacial Drumlin and $26,000+ to MG High School. That’s a total of over $71,000. Specifically, these grants have been used for additional training (teacher seminars), new equipment (Osmos Learning System for iPads), school awareness (button maker for Gay Straight Alliance and speakers for Black Student Union) and enhanced Makerspaces (for trial & error learning). The MGEF is able to provide these Innovation Grants via its Annual Celebration. This year’s Celebration takes place on November 2nd at the Eastside Club. In addition to being a fundraiser for future grant applicants the Celebration will honor the 10 Grant recipients from 2018-19. We will have an on-line auction (starting 10/18), a short program highlighting the recipients, a silent auction and a dinner buffet. We welcome you to join us and support the MGEF as it supports the MGSD. Tickets and Sponsorships can be purchased here.
