The Founder of the KASD Education Foundation, Dr. Brenda Winkler, our retiring Executive Director after 20 years was publicly recognized during the 2021 Distinguished Alumni Reception. Co-Founder Attorney Robert Grim provided commentary on Brenda’s initiative in creating the foundation’s first board, defining their original mission, and obtaining PA State Approval as one of only three Ed Foundations in Berks County at the time.
In conjunction with honoring the Executive Director’s 20 years of leadership, she and our original founders will be commemorated by a newly created award: “The Founder’s Award”.
This award will be given annually to a graduating senior who embodies the characteristics of thoughtfulness, initiative, and leadership that we associate with our original founders, Dr. Winkler, Attorney Grim, and the late DeLight Breidegam.
