Surprise! Foundation's Prize Patrol Pays D62 Staff Members a Visit
Last week members of the D62 Education Foundation had a fun time visiting different schools throughout the district and surprising staff members with grants they had applied for earlier in the school year.
Board members awarded nearly 40 grants over a two-day period totaling more than $28,000 for the 2024-2025 school year.
The grants will fund field trips, author visits, literacy nights, sporting and musical equipment and support various clubs throughout the schools.
The grant money directly benefits the students in the school district with opportunities they might not otherwise have.
The money is raised through different fundraising events throughout the school year, including a pizza wars event and a popular trivia night held every spring.
Thank you to all who have generously donated to the foundation!
You are making a direct difference in the lives of District 62 students!
