Dear 2008 Sponsor:

The Clear Creek Education Foundation’s 8th annual “Reach for the Stars” Gala will be held on Saturday, October 4, 2008 at Space Center Houston. This great event honors outstanding Clear Creek Independent School District alumni graduates. Proceeds from the gala help to fund the following programs: Teacher Innovative Instructional Grants, Synergistic Career Exploration Labs, National Teacher Board Certification, and Clear Horizon’s Early College Campus.

Since 1992, the Foundation has awarded grants worth over $510,000 to CCISD teachers. The grants directly benefit students in all grade levels in the Clear Creek Independent School District. Teachers are able to implement instructional programs with these grants that enrich the classroom experience.

The Foundation has also funded and installed five Synergistic Career Exploration Labs in intermediate schools through generous donations from Barrios Technology, LyondellBasell Industries, The Boeing Company and Nova Chemicals. These labs guide students through a series of hands-on activities that help them identify areas of career interest.

In 2006, the Foundation started assisting teachers who received their National Teacher Board Certification. The Foundation reimburses the certification fees, over a four year period, to teachers that continue their employment with CCISD.

The Foundation is also starting an initiative to assist in sponsoring students attending the Early College Campus, Clear Horizons. This campus allows students to obtain their high school diploma while simultaneously earning an associates degree. The program currently has 202 students with plans to add another freshman class of 110 students in the 2008-2009 school year. The campus is designed for highly-capable, highly-motivated, mature students.

The Clear Creek Education Foundation needs your support to continue our efforts for CCISD. We appreciate your consideration for a Gala sponsorship. If you have any questions or would like more information please contact Jane Sweeney, Gala Chairman at 281-488-4100 or jane@minutemanpress.com,  Gene Hollier at 281-488-3143 or doddholl@aol.com,  or Angela Jenkins, CCEF Coordinator at 281-284-0031 or ajenkins@clearcreekeducationfoundation.org.  Our deadline for program recognition is September 19th.

Thank you in advance for your support of the Clear Creek Education Foundation.

Sincerely,

Jane E. Sweeney
