This Week’s Trivia Question: This spring, the Foundation will help send drama students to the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. In 1972, a Stratford actor gave a sports score in the middle of “King Lear.” What sport was it? (No Googling! First to email Jay Forstner the right answer gets an EGRSF merch prize). Last week’s question was, “This fall, the Foundation funded 30 grants, including one that will help fund math software for all elementary students. What’s the name of the program?” The answer is IXL. Our winner was Shannon Soltysiak.

Have a great week! We’re making our schools even better together. Thank you!
