Thank you to Florida State Senators Danny Burgess and Senator Ed Hooper, and Paul Burns and Peggy Aune of the Florida Department of Education, for supporting the School District Local Education Foundation Statewide Matching Grant Program for the 2026-2027 fiscal year.

That support makes a difference in classrooms across Pasco County by helping bring programs like New River Elementary’s Movin’ and Groovin’ Project to life and giving educators the tools and opportunities to help students thrive.

We’re grateful for the continued investment in our schools, educators, and students.

Sugar Darlings is celebrating the one and only Dolly Parton with a special tribute cupcake pack. A portion of the proceeds will support the Foundation's Take Stock program! What a special treat! ✨

Grab a pack, enjoy a little Dolly magic, and help make a difference for Pasco students! 💖🧁🎀

Dolly Parton has always been someone who reminds us that kindness, generosity, and simply caring about others can make such a big difference. Her music has brought so much joy to so many people, and her heart for children and education is something we truly admire.
So, we wanted to create something that felt just as sweet!

Wise Supplies 🤝 Take Stock in Children Pasco County!

We’re proud to celebrate a meaningful collaboration between two of the Foundation’s programs! 📚🎒

This partnership helped provide 500 school-supply items to Take Stock families who requested them, ensuring students have the tools they need to walk into the new school year feeling prepared, confident, and ready to succeed. 💙

Together, we’re not just providing supplies; we’re creating opportunities and investing in brighter futures. 🌟

And we’re just getting started! Your support can help keep this momentum going throughout the school year and allow both Wise Supplies and Take Stock in Children to continue making a difference for students and families across our community.💙
