2nd Annual Foundation Golf Outing
2nd Annual Foundation Golf Outing
The Education Foundation had a very successful 2nd Annual Golf Outing in August 2025 at the Sleepy Hollow Golf Course in the beautiful Bedford Metroparks. Pictured are some of the approximately 100 golfers who had a great day of golf and, through their support, helped the Foundation continue its mission of offering scholarships to high school seniors, classroom grants to teachers, and helping GH students in the community. Stay tuned as information will be shared very soon about the Education Foundation’s 3rd Annual Golf Outing this summer. All proceeds go towards providing scholarships to selected high school seniors and supporting teacher classroom grants for educational activities. Thank you to all golfers, sponsors, and volunteers who helped to make this year’s event a fun and successful activity! Stay tuned for upcoming information on next year’s event.

🎉👏 Congratulations Mrs. Smith! 👏🎉
Thank you to the Garfield Heights Education Foundation for generously funding two mobile whiteboards and dry-erase markers for Mrs. Smith’s math classroom. Thanks to your support, students are on their feet several times each week, collaborating around the room to analyze problems, share strategies, and deepen their understanding. Your investment is helping create an engaging, hands-on learning environment where every student can actively participate and succeed. 🌟💡
🎉👏 Congratulations Miss Stacey 👏🎉
Through the Teacher Grant program, classroom iPads and interactive Osmo learning systems have been added to support hands-on, engaging instruction. These devices allow students to combine physical learning tools with digital activities that strengthen literacy, math, and critical thinking skills. By integrating technology in a meaningful way, students are actively involved in lessons while building foundational academic skills in a fun and interactive environment. 🌟💡
