The annual Claremont Educational Foundation (CEF) fall kick-off reception “Stars in Education” will be held at the home of Beth and Ivan Misner (located at 3752 Hollins Ave., Claremont) on Friday, November 16 from 6 to 9 p.m.

This annual event will include the Misner’s challenge to the community to match their annual $10,000 contribution with gifts pledged or given that evening. 

“This event provides an opportunity to celebrate the work of CEF in our community,” according to CEF President, Ken Corhan.  The event will welcome the new Claremont Unified School District Superintendent, Dr. James Elsasser and feature the principals and teachers that are the recipients of CEF funds for educational projects that benefit students in the classroom.  Teachers will be on hand to share the results of CEF funds put to use to enhance arts and technology projects made possible by the generous contributions of the Claremont community. 

There is no charge to attend this adult-only event and it is open to the Claremont community. Guests are encouraged to RSVP by email to info@Claremont EducationalFoundation.org or by calling 399-1709.
