The Oley Valley Community Education Foundation is commemorating its 30th ANNIVERSARY in 2026, and we are celebrating this momentous occasion with our first Academy Awards of Excellence GALA event on Friday, March 27th! The impactful programs we have implemented in each of our schools and the community are because of our many donors, sponsors, trustees, and supporters over those 30 years.

In addition to celebrating our 30th anniversary, we will honor Gary Weller, a graduate of Oley Valley High School and long-time resident of our community. Gary is also a founding member and Trustee of the Oley Valley Community Education Foundation, and the former owner of Rolling Rock Building Stone.

The Academy Awards of Excellence GALA will raise monies to fund annual scholarships and teacher education grants within the Oley Valley School District through a live auction, silent auction and raffles that guarantee to have everyone talking!

The Oley Valley Community Education Foundation (OVCEF) is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation formed in 1996 and administered by an independent board of community volunteers. Designed as a flexible link between the community, businesses, and the Oley Valley School District, the Foundation is a vehicle for channeling private dollars and support into a broad range of programs for residents and students of the Oley Valley.
