Teacher Appreciation Week is a time to recognize the incredible dedication, compassion, and hard work of our teachers. Supporting educators is what we do best at the iMaGine Foundation, and we are proud to help lift up the important work happening in our schools every day.

As a reminder, our mini grant application is now open. We are here to help Hastings Public Schools teachers get the items and resources they need as they head down the stretch toward summer.

If you are a Hastings Public Schools teacher, we encourage you to fill out a grant request today! imaginehastings.org/mini-grants

Thank you for all you do for our students and community! 📚✏️🚌

🎁 Happy Wrappy Hour is back! 🎁
Join us at Dugarel's Bar on Wednesday, December 10 from 4–8 PM for our biggest fundraiser of the year to support the iMaGine Foundation!

This fall alone, thanks to your generosity, we’ve already fulfilled $4,813.17 in Mini-Grants for Hastings Public School teachers—funding classroom needs that would have otherwise come out of teachers’ own pockets. These grants benefit hundreds of students across our district, and we’re just getting started.

We love doing this work, and with your help, we can fulfill even more grants in the new year. So come enjoy a super fun night at Dugarel’s while supporting an incredible cause!

🎉 It’s been a busy (and fun!) couple of weeks for the iMaGine Foundation — we had the joy of writing out checks to support the end-of-year carnivals at Kennedy, McAuliffe, and Pinecrest PTAs, plus the Hastings High School All Night Grad Party!

We’re proud to help lift up these amazing efforts and bring a little extra celebration to the end of the school year. 🎓🎪

Wishing all the students, staff, and families a joyful and memorable wrap-up to the year!
