We are a week away from “GivingTuesday” - a day that encourages people to do good, unleashing the power of radical generosity. The East Prairie Educational Foundation is one example of a local organization doing good and making a difference right in our own community. The Foundation strives to supplement traditional educational funding and ensure the highest quality educational experiences are available for children in the community. Since May 2000, the Foundation has awarded over $250,000 to our school for programming and equipment. This quarter of a million dollars worth of generosity has funded: programs in science, reading, and the arts, as well as, field trips and cutting edge technology for our school. Additionally, the Foundation sponsors the Plotkin Scholarship Fund, awarding a $1,000 college scholarship to a Nile North senior every year.

For many reasons East Prairie is a truly special and unique school community - thank you for the care, support, and kindness you share to help make that the case. We wish you and your family a very restful, safe, and happy Thanksgiving!

We will be having an open house for alums and community members on November 1 to tour the building, connect with one another and raise some money for the Plotkin Scholarship!

Hosted at East Prairie School, we plan to hold a tour of the new school building and offer opportunities for East Prairie alums to connect about the school.
