Plain Local Schools Foundation and Alumni Association We build & maintain community trust & provide funding for superior, innovative, educational programs.

In 2011 the Plain Local Schools Foundation merged with the Plain Local Schools Alumni Association to provide more opportunities for alumni and the general community to connect with, and support, all 6,000 students of Plain Local. In the last six years, the Foundation has awarded over $100,000 in grants for programming that support the District in their philosophy of educating the whole child around the areas of Character, Wellness, 21st Century Skills, Content Standards and the Arts. Along with the grants, the Foundation awards scholarships to graduating GlenOak High School seniors each year and supports the Plain Local School District through a variety of endowment funds to help achieve their mission of providing a personalized, relevant education to all students of Plain Local. The Plain Local Schools Foundation raises funds in order to provide programming and support that inspires the hearts and minds of the children of Plain Local. With your help, we can continue this mission and help create exceptional learning experiences for all students of Plain Local.

Someone built our schools for us.

Decades ago, members of the Plain Local community made decisions about schools for children they would never meet. They invested in classrooms, hallways, playgrounds, and opportunities for generations they would never know.

They didn’t know our names, they didn’t know our children, and they certainly didn’t know what the future would look like.

But they believed the children who came after them deserved something worth investing in.

Today, those same buildings are showing their age. Leaking windows, aging infrastructure, and costly repairs remind us that the schools built for yesterday’s students cannot meet tomorrow’s needs forever.

And now, the decision belongs to us.

Someday, children who haven’t even been born yet will walk through the doors of Plain Local Schools. Their parents may not even be students themselves yet.

They won’t know who we are and they won’t know the conversations we had, the challenges we faced, or the decisions we struggled to make.

But they will live with the choices we make today.

That’s what makes a community special. We do things for people we may never meet, knowing they may never have the chance to thank us.

Someone made that investment for us.

On November 3, it’s our turn.

Vote YES on Issue 5. 💚💛

Because the future of Plain Local Schools belongs to all of us.
