Welcome to the Mt. Lebanon Foundation For Education Website!  Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the Foundation is making a positive difference in the lives of Mt. Lebanon students. Mt. Lebanon Foundation News Whisper Phones Come to Mt. Lebanon MLFE funded the purchase of an entire classroom set of whisper phones for Kindergarten and first grade classrooms in all seven elementary schools through a grant submitted by Washington Principal Mary Kay Davis. (See photo above) Utilizing whisper phones is a researched based strategy to improve reading results, reading fluency, reading comprehension, and raises phonemic awareness. When children are learning to read and write, learners can, without disturbing others, say every word aloud to hear each sound in the word very clearly.  The hands-free style easily allows students to hold the books and participate in writing activities.
