33rd Annual Dinner & Auction
A huge Thank You! to our 2018 Annual Dinner & Auction Premier Sponsor, Edward Jones - Jon Hafemann Agency
The 2018 GCSF 33rd
Annual Dinner & Auction was held on Thursday, February 1. This year’s
theme was in honor of the upcoming 2018 Winter Olympics. As
we recognize Olympic champions from around the world, we
also celebrate our own Germantown student champions who are
“Going for the Gold” and beyond to further their educations
and future.
Proceeds from this exciting and
fun-filled evening go directly toward funding 2018
scholarships for students from our community. Last year,
GCSF awarded 96 scholarships totaling more than $139,300 as
a direct result of our fundraising efforts. GCSF also
provides funding for Germantown teacher grants to support
classroom enrichment projects. With your help, we can
continue to support the educational goals of both our
champion students and teachers in the Germantown community.
Of course, we also rely on the
help of our community partners. Thank you to
our Premier Corporate Sponsor and new GCSF Board Member is
Edward Jones Financial Advisor, Jon Hafemann. We
are grateful to Jon for investing in the future of our
Germantown students and community.

Congratulations to all recipients!
Congratulations to our 2017-18 Teacher Grant Recipients
Recognizing the important role teachers have in developing students to become successful in their post-secondary pursuits and due in part to the 3rd Annual U.S. Bank Mud Splash held last year, GCSF was able to award seven Teacher Grants this year. Teacher grant award winners include: Dawn Books Kosanke, MacArthur Elementary School; Lori Herden on behalf of all Amy Belle Elementary teachers; Jeffery Thielke, Kennedy Middle School; and Heidi timm Janel Gliniecki, Mark McClellan and Jeff Schreiber, Germantown High School;
Congratulations, teachers! The GCSF strives to select projects that
enrich classroom curriculum, impact a large number of
students and provide funding for a project that would
otherwise not be included in the school district budget.

High School Students
GCSF created the
Scholarship Planner to help high school students prepare
for scholarship applications. All incoming High School
Freshman will receive a Scholarship Planner with their
registration materials. Finding ways to pay for higher
education can be a daunting task. GCSF hopes to simplify the
process of completing general scholarship applications and
GCSF Scholarship applications by providing students with a
planner designed to record academics, in and out of school
activities, co-op participation, volunteerism, and
employment history. Printing of the Scholarship Planners was
funded by Dental Professionals. Copies of the planner are
available in the Germantown High School Guidance office, at
Dental Professionals and on this Web site.
