DAVENPORT SCHOOLS FOUNDATION NAMES
NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The Davenport Schools Foundation recently named Julie Fieldler, Davenport, Ia,
as its new executive director. The Davenport Schools Foundation works to enhance the Davenport Community Schools educational environment by helping to fund programs that support students in reaching their full potential.

Originally from Albia, Iowa, Ms. Fieldler graduated with a BA in Communication from Central College in Pella, IA. Immediately prior to taking the position with the Davenport Schools Foundation, she served as the Director of Alumni Services at Missouri Western State University. In that position, she managed all aspects of alumni services from coordinating events, programs and service projects to developing a marketing and communication plan for the Alumni Services office and Alumni Association. She also coordinated the creation of an Online Community for alumni to network and reconnect on MWSU’s website. Earlier in her career, she worked as program coordinator for Northern Arizona University and as a Heart Initiatives Specialist for the American Heart Association here in the Quad Cities.

The Davenport Schools Foundation was chartered in 1987 and operates independently, but in cooperation with the Davenport Community Schools. They are actively involved in raising funds from private and corporate sources which support scholarships and enrichment programs throughout the District, including the Great Minds curriculum-based program for providing students unique learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom.

The Foundation’s Scholarship Program awards over $20,000 annually in college scholarships to graduating seniors; distributes financial assistance to elementary students for use in summer enrichment activities; and recognizes outstanding achievements by students of various ages in the arts and sciences.
