Education Foundation Hosts Center Stage 2008
Awards ceremony
to showcase some of the school district's talented youth
From
staff reports
On Friday,
April 25 at 6:30 pm, the Compton Education Foundation will host Center
Stage 2008 at the Carson Community Center.
This event’s purpose is to showcase the talents of some of the
Compton Unified School District’s students and honor the corporate
sponsors, community partners, and district staff members who have made
the greatest impact on implementing the foundation’s goal this
year.
This year’s honorees include the Target Corporation, the Mr.
Holland’s Opus Foundation, Dramatic Results and Mr. Cleveland
Palmer. This formal dinner will also include performances by the Compton
High School Jazz Ensemble and Ronnie Laws, world renowned jazz artist.
The Compton Education Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation
established in 2003 to raise funds for all 39 Compton public schools
serving approximately 31,000 students. The foundation’s focus
was and is restoring the visual and performing Arts (VAPA) in the schools. Its
goal is to assist the Compton Unified School District in providing
comprehensive arts instruction throughout the entire district.
Under the administrative leadership of Executive Director Tami Foy,
the foundation is well on its way to making that goal a reality. In
2003, she was able to help the district secure $100,000 each from The
Game, a Compton High School graduate, and 50 Cent. As a result of those
gifts, CEF was able to award over $13,000 to the Music Department of
Centennial High School in 2007.
