EVENTS

The Blue Valley Educational Foundation has invested in what we believe is the cornerstone of a healthy and prosperous community - the education of our children. To support that investment, BVEF hosts several community events throughout the year.

Community Breakfast
Each year the Blue Valley Educational Foundation brings our corporate, parent and school communities together to help kick off the school year at our annual Community Breakfast. Student grants are highlighted and our superintendent gives the "State of the District" address.

When: August 28, 2009 at OPCC at 7:30 a.m.

Sunflower Ambassadors
A student and staff member from each school who exemplify the Blue Valley Virtues are nominated by their peers. One fourth, seventh and eleventh grader and a staff member at each school are selected by a committee of judges based on essays written about the nominee. These ambassadors are honored in their schools during BVEF Month as part of BVEF's support of character education.
