York Foundation for Public Education, Inc.Our MissionThe York Foundation for Public Education, Inc. (YFPE, Inc.)supports public education inYork County by developing resources to encourage educational innovation, promoteand recognize excellence, and address the needs of all students, faculty and staff of theYork County School Division.Public education in the United States is at a crossroads. Depending on our actions, the future promises either continueddecline and mediocrity or the development of effective solutions. The short and long-term impact on our children, ourcommunities and our country is staggering.Generations of York County residents have held to a value that is at the heart of this community – the belief that allchildren deserve an exceptional, high-quality education. Our schools touch not only the lives of our children but alsopeople of all ages across our community. They have an enormous impact on the county’s economic viability – fromproviding an educated workforce and offering local employers a key amenity that attracts quality employees, to beinga major factor when people select a neighborhood in which to live. Our schools make a difference each and every dayin our quality of life.As important as the public schools are to the quality of life in York County, they are, more than ever, vulnerable to therealities of growing needs and shrinking resources. Here, and throughout the country, education is dealing with thecontinuing sting of financial cuts that place stress on all levels of government. While expectations soar and resourcesdwindle, our schools are working to level the playing field so our children can compete in a global economy.As expectations change, the York County School Division (YCSD) must ensure that our children are taught not only thebasics but the skills needed to compete globally. We must help them to approach education with the sense of joy thatwill encourage them to become inquisitive life-long learners. Because this approach requires additional funding, publicand private partnerships, in the form of education foundations have been developed in thousands of school districtsacross the nation, and York County was among the first in this region.2 York Foundation for Public Education, Inc.

Levi Memorial Scholarship came about after the beginning of the 2010-2011 schoolyear. Joseph H. Levi was a respected and well-liked teacher and coach at Tabb High School for 23 yearsuntil retiring in 2010. Just months later, Joe was taken suddenly by cancer. A native of Philadelphia,Joe was a graduate of Villanova University. He relocated to this area in 1976. In addition to teaching,Joe was a longtime coach of tennis and wrestling. Teaching was Joe Levi’s “stage.” He loved using jokesand puns to entertain his students and made learning government and history fun for an audience ofteens who typically found the topic boring. Often referred to by students as “my favorite teacher,” Joeis remembered by family, friends, colleagues and former students for his humor as well as engagingpolitical discussions. One former student said of him, “He gave you a sense that you could confide inhim.” At the request of Mr. Levi’s family, this annual memorial scholarship will provide assistance to aselected senior student athlete from Tabb High School each year. Congratulations to Tabb High School’sMegan E. Woodward, first recipient of the Joseph H.

The initial goal for the campaign was$340,000, which was met with gifts from seven lead donors.Steve Staples, Ed.D, Campaign Co-Chair and former superintendent,stated, “Due to the tremendous enthusiasm of the communityand the deep dedication to public education, the CampaignCommittee decided to significantly raise the goal. We areexcited about what these funds will do for our children.”The campaign was recently announced at an event at the homeof Kelly and Bobby Ashe, Jr., where more than eighty-five peoplegathered to hear more about the work of the foundation andcelebrate those who have made lead gifts to the campaign.The event at the Ashe’s was led by Jim Noel, Campaign Co-Chair and YFPE, Inc. President, who spoke about the work of thefoundation which has been to provide grants in several areas,including Innovative Teaching Grants, School Wide ImprovementGrants, Scholarships for division employees and StudentResource Development Grants. He stated, “This campaign willtake the foundation to an entirely new level by endowing eachof the grant categories. School foundations across the countryare beginning to develop this model of endowment buildingand we are proud to be among the leaders in this area.”Lead contributions include John and Tricia Biagas of Bay ElectricCo., Inc., who have committed $100,000 to launch the Bay ElectricTechnology Initiative. Eric Williams, Ed.D., Superintendent,stated, “This is one area of the campaign that is especially importantto the school division. The Bay Electric Technology fundwill provide $1,000 annually to each school to purchase technologyitems that are particularly needed by that school. This annualgift will continue for five years and will challenge each schoolto raise the same amount annually to be placed in a technologyendowment fund. We are particularly pleased that the PTAs arepartnering with us to raise the matching funds.” To date, thirteenof the nineteen schools have offered their support; others areconsidering it at upcoming meetings.Annual Report 2010-2011Additional lead gifts have been received from Kelly and BobbyAshe, Jr., endowing a school wide grant named “Don’t Trip OverYour Shoelaces”; Dan and Peggy Nieman of Wendy’s Restaurantsare supporting the Student Resource Development Grants; theHead Family, who are endowing the “Savannah Head MemorialInnovative Grant of Reading Excellence,” in memory of SavannahHead; Dr. Eric and Michelle Williams, who are supportingthe operations of the foundation; Kathy and Mike Melo of ITA Internationalwho are endowing the “ITA International InnovativeGrant of Multi-Disciplinary Instruction; ” Nigel Buttery of PlanITTechnology Group who has made an unrestricted gift; Jeff Wassmerof Spectrum Comm, Inc., who is endowing a Teacher andPara-Professional Scholarship and; TowneBank, who is endowingthe Teacher of the Year program for the York County SchoolDivision.The focus of the campaign is to take each of the areas in whichgrants have been given and endow them so that only the interestwill be used. This will allow grants and scholarships to begiven forever. “We have relied on a very successful golf tournamentto fund our annual grants,” said Peggy Myatt, FoundationLiaison, “but we were always concerned that bad weather wouldnot allow us to give the grants our teachers and students deserve.This campaign will alleviate that concern.”“The School Board is very pleased to endorse this campaign,”said Mark Medford, Chair. The committee has developed manyways for the entire community to get involved with this campaignand show their support for our schools.Kelly and BobbyAshe, Jr. are activefoundation membersand hosted theCampaign Kick-offevent at their home.17
