T he Boa rd ma n School Fund for Educational Excellence hosted the fourth annual Reverse Raffle fundraiser on March 8 at Avion Banquet Center.

President Ed ie Dav idson explained that 175 people attended the event, which hosted a reverse raff le, Chinese auction and a silent auction.

“We had a wonderful dinner provided by Avion,” Davidson said. “It’s just a fun night with delicious food supporting a good cause.”

The BSFEE is a component fund of the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley.

Each year the organization offers grant money to teachers in the Boardman school district to complete unique proj-

ects that fit the curriculum.

“This event has allowed us to double the amount that we have in our fund,” Davidson said. “The more money we have in the fund the more we can give back to teachers.”

The foundat ion awa rded its f irst g ra nt in 2011, a nd has since been able to award $60,000 to Boardman teachers.

In 2019 the fund awarded seven grants, totalling $8,000.

Teachers used the money to purchase 3D pens, devices that can translate languages in real time for English as a

second language students, virtual reality goggles and more.

“We are so grateful for the creativity of our teachers who are so invested in doing everything they can for their students,” Davidson said.

After teachers receive their grant money and incorporate them into their lessons, members of the BSFEE board visit with them to see the projects first hand.

“We are so fortunate for our sponsors, a nd t he suppor t from the community that allows us to continue with this great project,” Davidson said.

The Ohio Reading Corps is offering free reading tutors for children kindergarten through third grade at the Boardman and Michael Kusalaba libraries.

The program, which began the first week of February and lasts for six weeks, is run entirely by volunteers according to ORC Regional Coordinator Sarah Laite.

“We focus on t he lower grades because that is where the need is,” Laite said. “If you can catch a struggling student early enough, you can change the whole trajectory of their life.”

The program focus’ on students who don’t qualify for special assistance, but still need help with reading skills.

“What about those students that are just below level in reading? With no one to help them bridge the gap, they fall further and further behind,” Laite said.

“This is where we come in.”

She said that the Ohio Reading Corps is an AmeriCorps program, with all volunteers serving with Americorps for at least a year.

“We work to fill needs that are not otherwise being met,” Laite said. “Some students do great with whole-classroom instruction, and some students have more complicated needs that are met through other services.”

Serving at the library are eight volunteers, with four
