Since 2010, the Annual Green & White Gala has served as the main fundraising event. Held once a year, the funds raised through the Gala are used to support many of the educational enhancements for Shen students. Contributions range from the cost of an individual ticket to the Gala, to a tiered sponsorship ranging from $500 to upwards of $10,000. Grants distribution and projects include:

• Innovative technology purchases for numerous classrooms

• Professional development for teachers

• Innovative classroom furnishing as a pilot

• Anti-bullying program (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports-PBIS) 

• Robotics team (Rocketeers)

• Music and art programs

• Rock walls to support our student’s physical well-being

• Districtwide Random Acts of Kindness program

• Support of parenting class at Cheryl’s Lodge

• Jump-start of the Bountiful Backpack program

• Construction of a Little Free Library for academic enrichment at Okte Elementary  

The most notable and visible endeavor of the Foundation is the preservation of the bells from the various one-room classrooms that comprised the district before being centralized in what is now the Shenendehowa Central School District. Those bells are preserved in the Carillon Bell Tower located in front of High School East.  The Gala has also served as the venue to recognize distinguished Shenendehowa alumni.
