2014 OFEE Inspirational Educator
Oswego Foundation For Education Excellence (OFEE)
2014 Inspirational Educator Memorial Scholarship
Each year at our annual golf outing, the Oswego Foundation For Educational Excellence (OFEE) honors an Inspirational Educator through a memorial scholarship signifying the positive impact they have had on the lives of their students and colleagues. The Oswego Foundation For Educational Excellence (OFEE) has chosen to honor Jo Ellen Kelley Simpson as our 2014 Inspirational Educator. Mrs. Simpson was a loving kindergarten teacher who served School District 308 students at Boulder Hill Elementary School for the past 16 years. She was also committed to lifelong learning. She was willing to share concepts with colleagues and make learning fun and exciting for her students. Mrs. Simpson provided stability, sincerity and a genuine friendliness that served the Boulder Hill Elementary School community.
Mrs. Simpson passed away after a courageous battle with cancer on Monday, July 7. She was very dedicated to her family. She was married to her husband, Bruce for over three decades. She was a devoted mother to Casie, Shanna, and Tara. Their mother encouraged and supported them in various activities and in ways most can only admire, including Girl Scouts, cheerleading and soccer.
In the spring, OFEE will select an alumni from Boulder Hill Elementary school and present them with a scholarship in Mrs. Simpson’s name. The family has also asked OFEE to partner with them in administering a scholarship to be given out each year to at least the next 12 graduating classes. The scholarship will be available to alumni of Boulder Hill Elementary as an opportunity to receive one last gift from Mrs. Simpson.
The scholarship to be given out in the spring of 2015 will be funded through OFEE. If you would like to contribute to the Jo Ellen Kelley Simpson Scholarship Fund, please send a check payable to OFEE with a note directing the funds to the JKS Scholarship Fund to the address listed below or click the link to donate directly through Paypal.
