Family members, local ministry and village representatives, teachers, students, and friends all gathered in excitement to watch over 100 students graduate from our Spitler Schools. This was the 10th graduation ceremony for the Spitler Schools, and the Spitler School Foundation could not be more proud of their accomplishment.

To help ensure success as they start middle school, SSF has made it a priority to equip our graduates with a new school uniform, school supplies, and a bicycle. SSF would not have been able to send off our students with these items every year without the gracious gifts of our donors.

While many donations contributed to our graduation ceremony, SSF would like to specifically thank: Wei Lingand her friends and family in Malaysia; Thomas and Daniela Lackner; the students from Florida International University; and Richard Tan. Their consistent dedication to our graduating classes has directly helped remove any impediment to our graduates continuing their education.

Finally, we recognize the hard work and organizational skills of Chea Sarin, the school staff, and the community for planning such a wonderful ceremony to honor these young graduates. It was such a big event that Cambodian National Television (BTV) featured the ceremony in its nationwide broadcast.

Well done!

The Spitler School Foundation is appreciative of the generous support from two long time donors. Cornerstone Cabinets has been supporting SSF for over 10 years with its annual gift. For the past four years we have received an annual gift from the Kalian Family Fund at the East Bay Community Foundation. These donations have a direct impact on our students and teachers by providing teaching salaries, school supplies, sturdy desks, and a safe environment to learn and play.

By their willingness to commit to multi-year annual donations, we are able to more effectively plan and budget. We are very grateful for this ongoing support.

A few months after a group from Biogen visited the Spitler School in 2013, they notified us that they would like to donate several boxes of used laptop computers to the school. This donation was the beginning step of our IT program, which has grown each year and provides students with vital computer skills. Six years later, Biogen has stepped up once more and has provided a generous donation of 60 laptops. We will also share these computers with Stephen Mazujian Middle School, which will provide additional computer time for hundreds of students.

We send our sincere thanks to Biogen’s Thomas Lackner for initiating the idea and to Romy Born and Claude Lutringer for working out the logistics that led to the delivery of these much needed computers.
