Posted on 01/16/2016
This is the image for the news article titled Core Knowledge Charter School Celebrates 20 YearsVerona Area Core Knowledge® Charter School is celebrating 20 years!!!!

founders of school

The school's 20th Anniversary celebration focused on their newly created CKCS endowment fund, with $6,000 being raised leading up to the event, and nearly $7,000 brought in at the anniversary celebration event! Alumni and their families, current families, CKCS team members and their families, and community partners all gathered for a night of memories, celebrations and building a legacy. Attendees enjoyed food and music, speakers of past alumni students, including Solomon Roller shown below, and an introduction of founders that started it all,  with a presentation of the school's new video time capsule. In addition, a basket auction and raffle brought in extra funds and kids even got to enjoy crafts and activities!!

Alumni student speaking

Congrats on building an endowment and a legacy!
