Welcome Cut Bank Alumni!

From the Desk of the Executive Director:

I am thrilled to welcome you to our new website! When the Cut Bank Education Foundation and Alumni Association (CBEFAA) was established over twelve years ago, it was with the idea that this organization would serve as the fundraising arm for the school district in an effort to offset the diminishing tax base. In retrospect, the CBEFAA has certainly been able to help the students and school district, but it has also become so much more than the founders could have ever envisioned.

The CBEFAA has three main functions. It is the belief of the CBEFAA that students attending Cut Bank Public Schools should have every opportunity to succeed. Therefore the foundation must first and foremost provide financial support to the school district by funding educational programs, activities and equipment that are beyond the means of the school district's limited budget. To accomplish this goal and to plan for the long range future of the Cut Bank schools, the "Legacy of Learning" Endowment was established to accept qualifying charitable contributions. This endowment is listed as a qualified endowment in the State of Montana and is designed to accept a variety of designated planned gifts.

Second, the CBEFAA promotes and funds innovative classroom mini-grants for teachers throughout the district. Our goal is to enrich the teaching environment by funding the creativeness of our talented teachers. This type of help allows teachers to take ideas for innovative teaching strategies and make them a reality. These strategies will enhance student learning and allow teachers to continue to seek out new and positive approaches for use in the classroom environment.

The funding for the innovative mini-grants comes primarily through the "Shining Stars" program. The "Shining Stars" program allows donors to honor former and/or current teachers in the Cut Bank Public Schools for all they have done to enhance the lives of students over the years.

The third function the CBEFAA provides is as the grantor/administrator of scholarships for graduating seniors and for CBHS alumni. Scholarships have been set up in memory of teachers, staff, students and alumni for the purposes of providing much needed financial assistance to those seeking higher education. Some of these scholarships are one time gifts, others are given on an ongoing basis. Over the past twelve years, the CBEFAA has given and/or administered over $281,900 in scholarships.

In an effort to stay in touch with our loyal Cut Bank alumni, we encourage all of you to register on this website with your most updated contact information. We want to keep you informed on what the CBEFAA is doing and how you can help.

We are in the planning stages of our 3rd All-Class Reunion to be held in July of 2010. Our previous All-Class Reunions have been huge successes and a great opportunity to reconnect with old friends. Mark your calendars and check this site regularly for updates!

Take some time to surf the website and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Enjoy surfing!!
