Greetings from the Cut Bank Education Foundation and Alumni Association:

What an incredible summer! Happy 100th Birthday to the City of Cut Bank! Though Cut Bank has been celebrating its birthday all year long, the big birthday shindig was highlighted during this past summer’s Lewis and Clark Days event. Think of it, for over one hundred years Cut Bank has been in existence. And, for one hundred-plus years our city’s schools have been educating our children and sending them into the world well-prepared to make their mark.

As you know, in small rural communities like Cut Bank, the schools are the centers of the communities. Our schools here are excellent and provide a top-shelf education, and our mission here at the Cut Bank Education Foundation and Alumni Association (CBEFAA) is to assist the school district in keeping it the best it can be. Everything this organization does to keep our schools first rate has a direct and positive impact on the entire community. For its century birthday, help us give Cut Bank a memorable present by increasing the commitment to the schools through the CBEFAA.

We are pleased to have you visiting our website to see what the CBEFAA is up to and how you can help. We want to keep all of you up to date with what is going on in the Cut Bank schools and with the Alumni Association. For those of you who have not yet registered at our website, we encourage you to do so. Please register here today! For those of you who have already registered, please keep your record up to date with any address changes.

We recently mailed out our annual campaign to all of the alums for whom we have mailing addresses in an effort to provide Cut Bank Alumni the opportunity to assist the CBEFAA in financially supporting the Cut Bank Public Schools and to develop, foster and encourage excellence in education. We hope that you will choose to make the CBEFAA one of the organization you contribute to annually. If you did not receive our mailing you can still help by either providing us your mailing address or by making a donation online. The left banner lists where you can go to make that important donation.

We have had several inquiries about how to go about making the CBEFAA part of an estate plan, be it a contribution to the “Legacy of Learning” Endowment, or the establishment of a scholarship to help CBHS students reach their higher education goals. If you have questions on the variety of planned giving instruments that are available, please contact us and we will assist you and your financial advisor in setting up the appropriate gift for your estate.

This past year we were able to provide 16 graduating seniors from the Class of 2011 with $47,900 in scholarships and 15 CBHS alumni students with $13,170 in scholarships. ost of these scholarships have been generously established to honor family members - either through memorials or scholarship funds, bequests, organizations, or by the CBEFAA themselves. These scholarships have a lasting impact on those who receive them and it is very easy to establish a scholarship.

If you are interested in any of these options as a way to give to the Cut Bank Eduation Foundation, please contact me and we can discuss the requirements and remember that all gifts are tax deductible.

Thank you for your continuing support and be sure to keep in touch.
