Look at the joy on these faces! 💦🎉 Gray Elementary celebrated an epic Attendance Blast, but the real highlight is the academic excellence behind the fun. 📚🎓

Thanks to donors funding FSPS's grant program, educators successfully incentivized consistent attendance and positive behavior. The result? 🥁 Gray Elementary ended the year with its highest attendance rates ever and skyrocketing academic performance scores! 📈🌟

We’ve just received the next round of fall grant applications, and educators have submitted incredible ideas! 💡 But to say "YES" to these innovative projects across the district, we need your help RIGHT NOW. ⏳

We must raise $300,000 by August 31 to fully fund this cycle.

The Foundation for SPS is proud to host the Pick-a-Project campaign – Ready. Set. Supply! – to ensure students and teachers have the essential tools they need for academic success. 📝

✏️ This project supports students district-wide, with a focus on schools where most students qualify for free or reduced lunch.✨🤝

Two ways to help:
• Make a donation online to help fund the purchase of supplies for schools across the district. 💖
• Drop off physical school supplies directly at a specific school.🌈

100% of all funds raised go directly to purchasing supplies for Springfield Public Schools! 💯🙌 Help a student start the year strong. Every pencil, notebook, and dollar makes a massive difference. 🖍️💪

🚀 Thanks to our wonderful donors, over 300 virtual students are Launching Into Kindness through a unique initiative at Launch Virtual Learning 💻✨

Because these students attend school online, finding creative spaces to foster social-emotional growth is vital. This grant funded "Kindness Kits" mailed directly to students' homes—packed with paint, brushes, and stickers—so everyone could participate in hands-on service. 📦🎨

The impact is making a big virtual world feel much closer:

🪨 Zoom Painting Parties: Students gathered online to paint kindness rocks, brainstorming places to hide them in their hometowns to brighten a stranger's day.

💬 In Their Own Words: One student shared that their favorite parts were “the activities and how we get rocket boosters. I like how we got to do breakout rooms and how we share about helping our family.” 🥰

This creative project proves that a screen is no barrier to empathy, excellence, and true belonging. 💚

Want to help us deliver connection directly to more students? 🌟
