[PHOTO] Clark Education Fund's Annual Fundraiser a Huge Success

This release was received from the Clark School District.

The Clark Education Fund held their annual International Wine Tasting and Microbrew Extravaganza on Friday evening, April 5th, at the Gran Centurions in Clark.  Money raised via the fundraiser is all donated back to the school district via mini-grants made available to teachers and staff members for innovative instructional programs and practices.  The fundraiser was a big success, with the largest attendance in recent years, as a total of 179 individuals attended the event.  A number of attendees were teachers, staff, and administration from the Clark School District.

 In the photograph above, a number of Clark elementary and middle school teachers at the event pose for a picture with Fund President Bob Brede.
