"Creating Opportunities for Our Children
District 62 Education Foundation Opens Online Store
 Funding District 62 student educational projects and programs just got easier for donors with the introduction of the District 62 Education Foundation Store. The store, which is accessible by clicking on the District 62 Education Foundation Store icon at the right, will offer shoppers a variety of giftware and clothing for men, women, and children. Revenue from the sale of T-shirts, mugs, bibs, and other items will not only provide funding for the foundation, but buyers will have an opportunity to select gifts and clothing displaying the District 62 Education Foundation logo.
Maxine Hubbard, Foundation Co-President, announced, “We are so excited to offer the Des Plaines community this online shopping source. Anyone can support the work of the Foundation 24 hours a day by clicking and shopping. During the 2007-2008 school year, the Foundation funded 21 educational programs totaling $12,000. In the future, we hope to fund many more educational opportunities like these. The revenue from our new store will allow us to do that."
The Des Plaines School District 62 Education Foundation exists to provide a continuing organization outside the public school system to preserve and enhance educational opportunities for all children attending a Des Plaines Community Consolidated School District 62 facility.
Questions regarding the online store, donating to or volunteering with the Foundation may be directed to Co-Presidents, Maxine Hubbard, 847-824-9556, or Betty Murphy, 847-824-1388.
