Amanda Geissler Memorial Foundation

04/15/2026

Recently, the kindergarten students and teachers at Thorp Elementary received a meaningful gift—a donation of books that carries a special legacy, inspiring dreams and fostering a love of learning among our students.

This generous gift is provided by the Amanda Geissler Memorial Foundation, a heartfelt tribute to a truly exceptional young woman whose impact continues to inspire. Amanda was a dedicated student and athlete at Thorp High School from 1998 to 2002. She was known for her passion, perseverance, and kindness. Wearing jersey number 10, she made a significant impact on the basketball court, helping her team reach their first-ever trip to the state semifinals. Amanda’s resilience and enthusiasm motivated everyone around her to aim higher and believe in their potential.

The Amanda Geissler Memorial Foundation actively supports educational opportunities for women and children and promotes kindness through various acts of generosity. Their support includes contributions to local organizations such as Beaver Creek Reserve and the Open Door Free Clinic, scholarships for Thorp High School students, and sponsorship of youth activities like the WHIZ kids basketball program.

Amanda’s love for reading and learning reflected her bright personality. She envisioned a world where others could experience the joy of reading and discover new possibilities. In her memory, the Foundation has generously provided funds to enhance our kindergarten classrooms, allowing us to offer each student their own books and enrich our teachers’ libraries. Their goal is to increase access to books for more children, fostering a lifelong passion for reading and helping to build hopeful futures.

Each child was able to select special books to take home—gifts thoughtfully provided by the Amanda Geissler Memorial Foundation, representing her enduring legacy. Every book includes a sticker that says, “Dream Big, Read,” serving as a reminder of Amanda’s inspiring spirit and her belief in the transformative power of education and dreams.

We invite everyone to honor Amanda’s memory by embracing curiosity and reading often. Because through books, we open doors to endless possibilities—just as Amanda would have wanted us to do.

We sincerely thank the Amanda Geissler Memorial Foundation for sharing Amanda’s love of reading with us and inspiring us to believe in the magic of dreams.💙

En este Día Internacional de la Mujer, reconocemos la historia, la lucha y los logros de millones de mujeres en el mundo. En Perú, como Micaela Bastidas, María Elena Moyano, Clorinda Matto de Turner y Kina Malpartida.
Que este Día 8M nos recuerde la importancia de respetar, apoyar y valorar a cada mujer. Queremos saludar a todas las mujeres aquellas que, con esfuerzo, dignidad y valentía, construyen cada día un futuro mejor para sus familias y comunidades. Aquellas que trabajan, cuidan, emprenden, educan y no se rinden ante las dificultades. Su fuerza silenciosa sostiene hogares, inspira a nuevas generaciones y transforma la sociedad. Agradecer a todas los colaboradoras de nuestra red que hacen posible nuestro trabajo.

Dream Big, Read 📚✨

We got to share the love with Ladysmith, Cornell, Thorp, and Chippewa Falls (Stillson Elementary) this year!

We are beyond excited to get more books into students hands. Amanda was an avid reader and we love being able to share Amanda's passion for reading with so many children!

We are on a mission to get 100,000 books in students hands!

Thorp Elementary School is pleased to acknowledge the generous donation from the Amanda Geissler Memorial Foundation, which will enable us to provide books to all kindergarten students and in both kindergarten classrooms.

Amanda Geissler's love of reading and learning inspired her to share her passion with others, and her foundation's support continues her legacy. Last year, the foundation supported second grade students by supplying books for individual use and classroom libraries. This year's contribution will allow us to purchase personal books for each kindergarten student and expand their classroom libraries, fostering a love of reading and discovery.

We are grateful to the Amanda Geissler Memorial Foundation for their ongoing support in enriching our students’ educational experiences. The motto "Dream Big, Read" serves as a reminder that this gift is a tribute to Amanda’s inspiring spirit and her enduring belief in the transformative power of education and dreams.
