Achievements

What we've accomplished in 2019 (note:  we've had very limited funding):

• Trained, installed, and put to work our first official Board of Directors (June).

• Reimbursed a teacher for expenses incurred in a class celebration for meeting their goals for achievement (spring).

• Paid the travel expenses for a teacher to attend training to improve history and civics instruction using a Harvard case study model (August).

• Our first fund-raising and "fun-raising" event:  Pumpkins & Pilsners (Oct. 12).  Thanks to our sponsors, volunteers, and community, we netted about $21,000!

What we've accomplished in 2018:

• —A year of almost weekly meetings is bringing a dream into reality in this organization – we’re almost there!

• —Learning about what makes a healthy nonprofit.  

• —Taking the time needed to be thorough and have a structure in place that should allow for a healthy organization to carry out the work for which it is intended.

• —Establishing the Mission, Vision, Pillars, Bylaws and many policies to elaborate on them, and more.   

• —EPMS STEAM students helped to create the website.  They set up a basic framework and taught us how to work on our website.
