Foundation
The PGE-Enron Foundation announced today it has
awarded the Jefferson Dance program a one-time only
grant in the amount o f $45,508 to ensure the continuation
o f the nationally acclaimed dance program into the 1998-
99 school year.
Due to cuts in school funding and a renewed commit
ment to academic excellence, the Jefferson principal re
cently announced she had no other recourse than to cut this
outstandingprogram arts program. Afterieadingaboutthe
situation. Foundation chair Gwyneth Gamble Booth
proactively approached interim superintendent Diana
Snowden about finding a solution to Jefferson’s dilemma.
Ibe Foundation’s grant will restore the program to its
full potential while allowing Jefferson time to find stable
funding in the future. Students and parents have vowed to
seek additional funding to support the celebrated program
beyond the upcoming school year.
“Thisgrant does more than savea unique diince program
for gifted dancers," says Gwyneth Gamble Booth, chair of
the PGE-Enron Foundation. "It helpscontinuethescnseof
pride the Jefferson Dancers have instilled in the school, the
community and the state. It would be a shame to lose it due
to lack o f funding.”
Jefferson has agreed to maintain their F l E instructors
while the Foundation’sgrant will provide funding to cover
production costs, costumes, and costs associated with
touring.
“The PGE-Enron Foundation has come to the rescue o f
the Jefferson Dancers,” said Diana Snowden, interim
superintendent for Portland Public Schools. ‘"Their gener
osity has given as some breathmgnx>m to work with parents

program.”

improving the quality oflife for all Oregonians by support

and revitalize Oregon communities. Since Enron and
