Edina Education Fund

On Monday, February 22nd, the Edina Ed Fund will host its Annual Show & Tell Luncheon at St. Patrick's Church. The event raises both awareness and funds to support the work of the Edina Education Fund.
The Edina Ed Fund is looking for a Normandale parent to act as the Table Host for the Normandale Elementary School table at the luncheon.  The volunteer would attend the event and fill 7-8 seats at the table with friends, neighbors and colleagues who represent Normandale Elementary School, want to learn more about the Edina Education Fund, and might be willing to support the Fund's work by making a donation. Coordination is very simple, with plenty of support from Edina Ed Fund staff.

If you're interested in hosting, please contact Jen Haenel.  Click here for more information on the Edina Education Fund
