The Waukesha Education Foundation held it's third "Celebration of Excellence" on November 4th. The theme: "Today's Students - Tomorrow's Stars!". This Event brings the Community together in an incredible outpouring of support for the students in our community. Business people, students, parents, elected officials, teachers, administrators,and more came to Waukesha North and were treated to an educational, colorful, and entertaining evening,
The student-driven Hall of Excellence gave us "oldsters" a peek into the happenings within the Waukesha School District classrooms. Beaming and eager to talk, these students brought their programs alive for the visitors and charmed us all in the process. They also gained a little insight in the "How to's" of preparing a trade show program and display. Definitely a "win-win" for all.
Waukesha North graciously hosted the event and their Northstar State Marching Band Champions blew the roof of the fieldhouse after dinner! Student's interacted and served dinner, tended water glasses,and brought the face of education that much closer to each table. Honorees included the WEF "Partners in Education" Heidi Laabs, and Jill and Gary Beres from Culver's - Waukesha. Former Waukesha School Board President Mr. Bill Domina presented Superintendent Mr. David Schmidt with a recognition for David's vision and support for the WEF - A standing ovation followed.
Auctions, raffles, and more completed the evening and sent attendees home commenting on "the students..." There was little doubt that we were truly in the company of ..."Tomorrow's Stars!"
