Classroom Grant Program

The Foundation’s signature initiative provides competitive grant funding for teachers across all grade levels. These grants support hands-on learning tools, STEM resources, literacy enrichment, arts and music materials, and classroom innovations that would not otherwise be possible through school budgets. Every donated dollar directly helps create stronger, more engaging learning environments for students.

We provide resources that directly enhance teaching, learning, innovation, and student success. Since 2024, the Foundation has awarded nearly $45,000 in classroom grants, supporting teachers with the tools they need to deliver enriched, high-quality instruction.

Summer Music Camp

Each year, the Foundation hosts a performance-based summer music camp for students ages 7–17. The camp is open to all area students — public, private, and homeschool — and introduces participants to vocal performance, rhythm, movement, and stage presence in a fun, collaborative setting.

In 2025, the camp featured themes from Schoolhouse Rock!, brought to life through partnerships with McCluskey School of Music and Heirlooms Fine and Performing Arts. Campers spend the week learning musical selections, developing confidence, and building teamwork skills that culminate in an end-of-week public performance for families and the community.

Community & Business Partnerships

The Foundation actively cultivates partnerships with local businesses and civic groups that believe in advancing public education. These partnerships expand resources available to students and help strengthen the long-term support network surrounding our five schools.
