Programs and Scholarship

§ Computer Classes
Each fall and spring the OVCEF funds computer literacy classes such as Word, Excel, Access, etc. for residents, staff, and alumni of the Oley Valley.  Instruction is free with attendees paying a small fee for the text.

§ Teacher Grants
In January, teachers submit ideas for learning opportunities beyond the core curriculum and the Foundation awards a grant enabling teachers to implement new ideas in the classrooms.

§ In Service Education
The Foundation sponsors an agricultural education day each year for teachers to experience life in the Oley Valley and become aware of the environment in which they are teaching.

§ Alumni Database
A special committee has been established to research class lists of Alumni since the formation of the Oley Valley School District.  This committee is seeking to establish a list of fifty percent of graduates in order to contract with a company who will then research the remaining Alumni and publish a book available for purchase by Alumni.
