Samples Scholarships Awarded<br />
The first-ever J.K. Samples Scholarships were awarded by the Hanover Education Foundation<br />
this spring. Twelve deserving seniors were awarded $3,000 each for a total of $36,000.<br />
These scholarships were a result of a $707,291.18 bequest to the school district by J. K.<br />
Samples and his wife, Vada. Mr. Samples served as the Superintendent of Hanover County<br />
Public Schools from 1965-1980. Mr. and Mrs. Samples desired that the funds be invested to earn<br />
interest income that would provide scholarship awards to graduating seniors to assist with post-high<br />
school <strong>education</strong> (but not limited to) apprenticeships, technical college, community colleges, and<br />
universities.<br />

From the President…<br />
It has been an honor to serve as President of the Foundation for the<br />
past year. Working with a distinguished Board of Directors, we strive to<br />
provide more opportunities and reach more students and teachers each<br />
year. During the <strong>2005</strong>-<strong>2006</strong> school year, we met these goals.<br />
The Foundation was asked to manage the generous gift received<br />
from the Samples estate and provide funding for post secondary <strong>education</strong>al<br />
opportunities. As the school year closed, we presented 12 scholarships of $3,000 each. These<br />
scholarships, totaling $36,000, were evenly distributed with three scholarships going to students in each<br />
of our four high schools.<br />
The Foundation also funded 17 Creative Instructional Grants totaling $38,500 during this school<br />
year. Compared to ten grants totaling $5,000 in 1999, I think you will agree that we have made great<br />
progress in this area. We also gave $4,589 to support the three OM teams, two from Rural Point<br />
Elementary School and one from Liberty Middle School. Again we met our goal of providing increased<br />
opportunities for our students and teachers.<br />
Hanover County residents and businesses continue to be generous with their contributions in supporting<br />
the Foundation. Highlights from this year include a $20,000 donation from Grayson Johnson to<br />
support Beaverdam and South Anna Elementary schools; the Bowl-A-Thon, in which all schools participated,<br />
raising $18,000; and the Alumni Phone-A-Thon which raised over $21,000. In total, due to this<br />
generosity, the Foundation was able to provide over $238,000 in funding for students and teachers.<br />
The Foundation’s annual Celebration of Excellence in Education dinner was a resounding success.<br />
This event allows Hanover County to provide an appropriate level of recognition to the “Teacher of the<br />
Year” from each of our schools. Additionally, this event enables us to express our gratitude to these<br />
educators who play an important role in shaping the future of Hanover County.<br />
I would be remiss if I did not thank the four Directors who completed their terms with the<br />
Foundation. These four members have served since the Foundation’s inception and are strong advocates<br />
for <strong>education</strong> in Hanover County. Buddy Klotz, Bill Loughridge, Kara Majewski, and Ginger Stanley<br />
thank you for your commitment and six years of service to the Foundation.<br />
In closing, I will share a quote from the Irish poet William Butler Yeats. Mr. Yeats once said,<br />
“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” Thank you for supporting the Hanover<br />
Education Foundation and allowing us to assist in the “lighting of fires” within the Hanover County<br />
Public School system.<br />
—Kenneth J. Hein<br />
HEF Awards over $52,000 in Scholarships<br />
The Hanover Education Foundation awarded 33 scholarships totaling $52,500 to students in the graduating class of <strong>2006</strong>. Providing<br />
scholarship opportunities is a major part of the Foundation’s initiatives. The HEF is grateful to all of these supporters for taking an interest in the<br />

HEF Professional Development<br />
Scholarship Recipient<br />
The Hanover Education Foundation awarded<br />
the <strong>2006</strong> Superintendent’s Professional Development<br />
Scholarship to Teri Donnelly, a Math teacher<br />
at John M. Gandy Elementary School. The presentation<br />
was made on January 10 at the Hanover County<br />
School Board meeting.<br />
The scholarship is awarded annually to a<br />
promising classroom teacher to support a significant<br />
professional development opportunity. Teri Donnelly<br />
has taught math in Hanover County Public Schools<br />
for 24 years.<br />
With the funds Ms. Donnelly is receiving from<br />
the Superintendent’s Scholarship, she plans on<br />
purchasing audio equipment needed to collect<br />
qualitative data--conversations between teachers and<br />
students, students and students, and teachers and<br />
teachers in her role as math specialist/coach. The<br />
data will be used by many teachers to direct math<br />
instruction. Ms. Donnelly plans to write an article<br />
to be published about the effectiveness of the math<br />
specialist/coaching model of staff development.<br />
The Superintendent’s Professional Development<br />
Scholarship was initiated by the HEF in 1999 to<br />
honor Dr. Stewart Roberson’s achievement as<br />
Superintendent of the Year.<br />

On December 11, <strong>2005</strong> Jason Mraz<br />
partnered with the Hanover Education<br />
Foundation, to give a benefit concert<br />
for his alma mater’s choral music program.<br />
Jason returned to his hometown of<br />
Mechanicsville and Lee-Davis High School<br />
for a day of rehearsal and one show,<br />
dubbed “An Evening with Jason Mraz”.<br />
Featured at the concert was a performance<br />
of “Song for a Friend” that included students<br />
from the Lee-Davis choral music<br />
program. In May of <strong>2005</strong> Jason had visited<br />
Lee-Davis to record “Song for A Friend”<br />
with the students and it is included in the<br />
singer-songwriters latest CD, Mr. A-Z.<br />
HEF Alumni Phone-a-thon<br />
Graduates, retired teachers and friends<br />
of Hanover County Public Schools made calls<br />
from the School Board office. Beginning April<br />
24th and ending April 27th, these volunteers<br />
really showed their school spirit and support as<br />
they called their classmates and their students<br />
from years gone by with friendly competition<br />
between schools. Thanks to some of these<br />
calls, class reunions are in the works and long<br />
lost classmates were found.<br />
The HEF would like to thank everyone for<br />
their time in making these calls, and thanks<br />
to them over $21,000 in pledges were raised.<br />
Many thanks goes out to Hilda Kelly, the ongoing<br />
HEF Marketing Committee Chairman, for all<br />
her work on this project for the last six years.<br />
As an alumni of Patrick Henry High School and<br />
a retired school teacher, Mrs. Kelly has a strong<br />
passion and commitment to all the students<br />
and the teachers of Hanover. This has certainly<br />
been reflected in her desire to make the alumni<br />
phone-a-thon the best it can be and she has<br />
done that again this year.<br />
The HEF is also grateful to John Helm and<br />
Mark Marino of Verizon Wireless for providing<br />
the cell phones for this year's campaign. There<br />
is no way that we could have done a phonea-thon<br />
event without this support. Thanks<br />
also to Dick Corrada with Paramount's Kings<br />
Dominion who provided all the food and drinks<br />
to the callers every night.<br />

Beaverdam and South Anna Elementary Schools Benefit<br />
On February 15, a ceremony was held to recognize and thank Grayson<br />
Johnson, owner of Johnson Construction Company, for his generosity.<br />
Mr. Johnson, a 1995 graduate of Patrick Henry High School, gave a<br />
portion of the proceeds from the sale of a house in the Carrington Glen subdivision<br />
to South Anna Elementary and Beaverdam Elementary through the Hanover Education<br />
Foundation (HEF). Each school received $10,000 to be used for classroom grants<br />
and activities.<br />
Representatives from the Hanover County Board of Supervisors and the<br />
Hanover County School Board joined Superintendent of Schools Stewart Roberson,<br />
HEF president Ken Hein, other HEF directors, students, school leaders, parents<br />
and friends at the celebration. Third grade students from Beaverdam Elementary<br />
and kindergarten students from South Anna<br />
Elementary entertained the group as they sang<br />
the national anthem and “I Love My Country.”<br />
The Patrick Henry High School Naval JROTC<br />
Color Guard led the Pledge of Allegiance. As<br />
a token of appreciation, the students and the<br />
principals presented Mr. Johnson with clay<br />
planters hand painted by the students and<br />
“spirit” apparel from each school.<br />
“We are very fortunate to have alumni in<br />
Hanover that come back, maintain their<br />
businesses here, and continue to support their school system in many ways,” said Margaret Hill, Hanover Education<br />
Foundation Executive Director. “We sincerely appreciate this generous gift and Mr. Johnson’s commitment to and support<br />
of Hanover County Public Schools.”
