Last year, Getreu's family

donated four laptop computers to high school seniors who had demonstrated

excellence in math or art. This year Getreu has added a $1,000 gift to

J. C. Booth Middle School to benefit the school's Science Olympiad team

and technology program.

"I picked the computer

program because I am a computer nerd by trade. I also know that the Science

Olympiad team always needs money to help offset costs for all of the training

that they do throughout the year," Getreu said.

Getreu said she plans to continue

making donations to education to honor her parents for as long as she

is able to do so.

"I'm trying to do good

work with the inheritance that my parents left me. They were big believers

in education and I can't think of a better way to honor their memory."
