Lewis E. Love

        Memorial Science Education Award

                                 Update

At its 50th Reunion, the Class of 1963 (North) announced its

intention to establish an award in memory of Lewis Love, whom many

class members consider to be the best teacher they ever had, as its

class gift to the Great Neck Public Schools. A small committee worked

to make the award a reality.

 

Through 2016, we raised ~$60,000 (~half of which was donated by our

Class of 1960 members) that will fund an Award of up to $10,000 annually,

for at least 6 years, for projects that will advance science education in the

Great Neck Public Schools. Any tenured teacher in the Great Neck Public

Schools will be eligible to apply for the award - s/he need not be a science

teacher. We wanted to establish a system for granting the award that will

continue beyond our personal abilities to manage it, so we have established

a rotating committee of teachers and students who will judge the applications

each year.

 

We continue to seek additional donations. With your help and the help of

the many other people who were touched by Mr. Love's magic in both the

North and South schools, we can extend the duration of the Love Award,

a meaningful tribute to an extraordinary teacher.

 

We are asking you to do two things: make a generous contribution to

the Lewis E. Love Memorial Science Education Award, and forward

this appeal and the donation form and FAQs to as many Great Neck

alumni as you can.   (Click on "Love FAQs & Donation Form" on

the left hand side of this page).

 

You will see on the donation form that all donations must be made by

check to the Great Neck Public Schools and must be accompanied by the

form so that the School District can keep track of and send

acknowledgements to donors. As the check will be made out to the Great

Neck Public Schools, donations to the award are tax-deductible to the

extent of the law.If you have any questions that are not answered by

the attached form or FAQs, please feel free to contact any member of

the fundraising committee.
