2026: Celebrating 30 Years of Excellence

in the OleyValley

The Oley Valley Community Education Foundation is celebrating its 30th ANNIVERSARY in 2026, and we are celebrating this momentous occasion with our first Academy Awards of Excellence GALA event on Friday, March 27, 2026. 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 silent auction and raffles that guarantee to have everyone talking! We will also hold a Fund-A-Need live auction to raise money to assist financing much-needed sound and lighting upgrades to the Oley Valley High School auditorium. The auditorium is used by students and our community through our music and arts programs.

We hope you will consider supporting our 30th Anniversary celebration by choosing one of our sponsorship packages and joining us at the gala.
