Here’s How:

Teachers should have the resources they need to create engaging learning environments. We serve as a direct resource hub for teachers and students.

  • Classroom Grants
  • Assist individual fundraising efforts
  • Literacy support
  • Student and Educator scholarships

When students’ basic needs are met, they have a better chance at success. We are the go-to for fundamental resources:

  • Angel Funds
  • Food Insecurity Programs:
    • BackPack Meals
    • Food Pantries
    • Munch Machine Mobile Food Program
  • Homeless Student Fund

Public education is a vital resource for the entire community. We connect and engage the community with the district.
