🎉 BIG NEWS FOR PIERCE MIDDLE SCHOOL! 🎉

The Grosse Pointe Foundation for Public Education is thrilled to announce that we have received a $15,000 grant from the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Legacy Funds at the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan!

This incredible award will support the fundraising efforts of the Pierce Middle School PTO as they work to transform the outdoor field space at Pierce with a brand-new outdoor obstacle course!

Designed for students ages 10–14, this course will:
• Promote student wellness, teamwork, and healthy habits.
• Support PE curriculum-aligned instruction and fun, unstructured play.
• Build confidence, resilience, and social-emotional learning through movement.

Combined with a $10,000 grant previously awarded by the GPFPE in December, this project is well on its way to creating a vibrant, active environment for our students and the broader community to move, grow, and thrive.

Thank you to the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan and the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Legacy Funds for investing in the health and future of GPPSS students!

The Wilson Legacy funds, which the Community Foundation manages, focus on regional caregiving, design and access to public spaces, youth sports, and the Grosse Pointe communities. The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation established the funds to support issues that were important to the late Ralph C. Wilson, Jr., a Detroit native, former Grosse Pointe resident, and the founder and longtime owner of the Buffalo Bills football team.
