We're always proud of our graduates, but it is especially gratifying when their accomplishments are recognized by others. One of our recent graduates, Kilby Bronstein '06, has been chosen Outstanding Youth Philanthropist of the Year by the Buffalo chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals. She was nominated by both EFS and Roswell Park Cancer Institute and is featured in today's Buffalo News. Kilby will be honored at a luncheon at the Adam's Mark Hotel on November 18th. Her involvement at EFS includes being a committed caller on behalf of the Annual Fund and a speaker at our annual Upper School Information Night, where she shares her perspective on the preparation she received in our 5th through 8th grade program that led to her success at Buffalo Seminary - this year's Information Night will be on Thursday, November 19th at 5:45pm. Kilby's passion for giving back to EFS follows in the footsteps of her mother, Jennifer Prince Bronstein '74, also one of our most devoted and tireless volunteers.
In addition to all the good she does in the community, Kilby serves as a perfect roll model for Elmwood Franklin's growing service learning program. Committed to teaching our students the value of service to the community and the power that even our youngest students can have in Buffalo, Western New York, and beyond, we are developing meaningful service projects connected to the curriculum at each grade level. My October 22 post (Real World Lesson) is an example of how kindergarten students can learn new skills and help others at the same time.
Congratulations, Kilby. Your Elmwood Franklin family is exceedingly proud of your accomplishments.
