The Wall of Honor was created by the Blue Valley Educational Foundation to honor our contributors in a special way. The wall recognizes corporate and individual donors who have given $2,000 or more since the Foundation’s inception.

The beautiful dark cherry wall, located in District Office outside the Foundation’s office has 198 sunflowers attached with each donor’s name laser etched onto the sunflower. Four sizes of sunflowers represent four different levels of donor giving: $2,000 - $4,999; $5,000- $9,999; $10,000-$19,999 and $20,000 or more. The wall includes donations made through 6/30/07 and is updated yearly.

The Blue Valley Educational Foundation said a special thank you to its donors at the October Board of Education meeting. New donors, who have contributed $2,000 or more to the Foundation since its inception 15 years ago, were added to the organization's "Wall of Honor."
