Today, CEF board members delivered 484 donuts to celebrate every employee of the Canby School District.

It’s a small gesture, but a heartfelt thank you to the people who make learning meaningful—and a little sweeter—every day.

**Special thanks to Cutsforth’s for the incredible donuts and their generous discount!

And thank you to my extra morning helper! 🤗

Literacy is the foundation for every student’s success—opening doors to learning, confidence, and opportunity.

At our April meeting, CEF approved grants to fund the purchase of 976 new books for students across the Canby School District—creating 976 more opportunities for students to discover the joy of reading, build critical skills, and explore new worlds.

Access to books matters. When students have the resources they need, literacy thrives—and so do our kids.

Thank you to our community for helping make this possible. Together, we’re investing in brighter futures, one book at a time.

Today at CHS, we celebrated the exciting next chapter for the Class of 2026!

"Graduation marks the culmination of years of learning, perseverance, and growth. For many students, the transition out of high school carries excitement alongside uncertainty. A dedicated celebration provides students with validation, closure, and encouragement as they move forward, regardless of whether their next step is college, career training, military service, or entry into the workforce," CHS Counselor, Carly Vermillion, wrote in a grant request.

We were honored to help make this meaningful celebration possible. Congratulations to the Class of 2026—we’re cheering you on as you take what comes next!

Thanks to Mrs. Gingerich and Mrs. Kauffman for applying for a grant from CEF! Now first graders at Eccles have raised garden beds in their courtyard! This hands-on space will serve as a living classroom where students can explore science, nutrition, and environmental stewardship while planting, tending, and harvesting their own garden.

It’s a great example of learning that grows beyond the classroom!
