On July 27, 2026, the Seminole County Chamber hosted the State of our Schools event in partnership with Seminole County Public Schools and The Foundation for Seminole County Public Schools.

This event highlighted the accomplishments of SCPS during the 2025-2026 school year and looked forward to goals for the current school year. The Seminole County Chamber donates a portion of the proceeds to the Foundation and this year we were excited to receive $6,000 to support teacher and student programs.

This event highlights the importance of partnership between the business community, School District, and Foundation!

The Foundation is proud to share our feature video on WESH 2 News during their Project CommUNITY: Community Champion segment!

Our Tools 4 Seminole Schools free teacher resource store was highlighted, showcasing the meaningful impact it has on Seminole County teachers, students, and classrooms.

We invite you to take a moment to watch the segment and share this post with your friends, family, and colleagues. Your support helps us raise awareness, engage new supporters, and continue making a difference in our schools and community.

A program is helping Seminole County teachers get free classroom supplies, and now a mobile store is bringing the resources straight to schools.
