The Melvin Douglas and Victoria Kay Ivester Foundation recently committed $100K to enhance the learning commons at East Hall and North Hall Middle and High Schools.
Each location will receive $25K for improvements.
Once completed, each of the four new spaces will be named, The Victoria Kay Ivester Learning Commons, in honor of Kay Ivester.
"I feel certain that the new learning commons being installed at the various Hall County Schools will enhance the learning and enjoyment factors for all students,” said Melvin Douglas Ivester. “Kay has always been a voracious reader of all forms of media…books, magazines, cookbooks--to fiction, to history…almost any written material. Sponsoring the learning commons at these schools is a natural fit for the Ivester Foundation and something that is very close to Kay’s Heart.”
“The boys and girls of the Hall County School District continue to be the benefactors of the Ivester family’s generosity,” said Superintendent Will Schofield. “The Ivesters believe in the power of education, they are unwavering in their support of teachers, and they are clearly invested in the Hall County Community. We are grateful for their partnership.”
