Community Report 2020

Sylvania Schools Foundation The Sylvania Schools Foundation is a growing organiza- tion that is the culmination of a merger between the former Sylvania Academic Excellence Foundation and the Sylvania Schools Athletic Association. Since the merger in the fall of 2019, the Foundation has awarded over over $5,500 in teacher grants, $23,550 in Fitkin Memorial Staff Professional Development Scholarships, and $22,500 in student scholarships. Sylvania Alumni Association The newly formed Sylvania Alumni Association will launch a robust website in 2020 allowing alumni to join as a member, professionally network, and reconnect with classmates. It is exciting that classes from Burhnam, Sylvania, Northview, and Southview will have this space to announce reunions and share their stories.
