The Foundation awarded 2nd grade teacher, Tori Ratti, funds to purchase the Flat Stanley series for her class. We received pictures of their presentation and this wonderful note from Mrs. Ratti:
"We are so thankful you allowed us the opportunity to do this project! We really enjoyed every part from the writing, addressing mail, and even geography lessons! We have been able to make school a fun place to be and learning exciting!"

Next round of grant applications are now open and close on May 31.

Attended the East Side Art Show last night and wow—what a display of talent from our little Lancers!
🎨 Your Education Foundation was honored to support the materials and supplies to help make this happen.
It was fun to see families participating in the interactive art tables and showing off their creations.
Grant cycle opens for the start of the 2026-2027 school year in May!

Great to see another philanthropic partner-The Edinburgh Delta Sigma Chapter of Tri Kappa-there, too!
