It is time again for what has become the social event of the year in Fort Thomas – the annual Fort Thomas Education Foundation Dance. Â The event this year is on Saturday night February 26th at the Syndicate in Newport. Â The theme this year is “incognito” which basically means you can dress up as anyone without the restrictions of a generational theme.
Tickets are $30 but soon to be $40 if you wait too long to purchase and the event features a good local band – the Karate Girls (formerly named the Naked Karate Girls – I guess the name was limiting their booking capabilities). Â You can visit their website (linked above) and order tickets online.
The education foundations is a critical component of what makes our school system successful in the face of a funding formula that penalizes the district (for background see my recent post about the school systems budget). Â Proceeds from this event benefit our teacher grant program. To date we have been able to award over $337,000 in technology, books, equipment and programs to our schools through our teacher grant program.
If you have never been to a foundation dance it is truly an experience – local celebrities, all different backgrounds, and no one is afraid to loosen up and have a good time. Â Sign up now for a good time.
