Partners in Education:

T.E.C. INITIATIVEBy fundamentally changing

the delivery of instruction using classroom technology, PEF is partnering with Peta-

luma teachers, administrators and community leaders to pre-

pare the 13,000 students at-tending Petaluma area schools

each year to go on to college and enter the workforce.

PEF’s T.E.C. Initiative selects teachers and schools with

vision, passion and plans to provide the dollars and support they need to change the way in which they deliver instruction in

the classroom using technology with sound,

research-based practices.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTThe majority of teachers today

were trained before 2000, before Facebook, Twitter,

Skype, and Google transformed the way we

communicate and learn. Their classrooms are populated with

Digital Natives. To “bridge the divide”, PEF hosts teacher Grant Workshops and a Peer

Review training exchanges.

DUE DILIGENCE We provide accountability and

a measurable impact. Impact on instruction, not a list of

equipment, is our bottom line.

MacIlvain Scholarships

In 1999, a popular teacher at

Petaluma High School, Shirley

MacIlvain, established a

scholarship for students “who

wish to pursue any kind of

further education.” Upon her

death in 2001, PEF received

a gift from her estate to create

the MacIlvain Academic and

Family Scholarships. Today’s

fund of $1,031,688 generates

$50,000 annually.

Henris Family Fund

“My wife and I have thor-

oughly enjoyed the benefits of

living in this community,”

Horace Henris wrote in 1992,

in regards to a large donation

he and his wife Dorothy made

to PEF from the sale of prop-

erty. “Dorothy’s roots are very

deep, going back three gen-

erations. We have raised our

children and prospered here.”

In 2012, the Henris Family

Fund awarded $10,700 in

scholarships to 18 students.

“It is so much fun,” eighty-seven-year-old Petaluma native, Flo Fadelli (left in picture) the most senior of Alphabet Soup’s stalwart, longtime volunteers, credits volunteer work for her “youth-fulness and good health.”

LaVerne Noble (seated), a volunteer at Alphabet Soup for 18 years, emphasizes the vital link to community that volun-teering serves. “Over and over again, I have seen how regular volunteer shifts at Alphabet Soup have helped people in the midst of life-changing situations to reconnect for a great cause and to make new friends.”

Willy Greenley (right in picture) transi-tioned from PEF Board Member to Soup volunteer. “You start for the cause of supporting schools, but eventually you volunteer for yourself,” said Greenley. “It’s enriching. I can’t tell you how many wonderful people I have met over the years, on both sides of the counter.”
