Our Mission At Work

GOWER GALA

We raised $35,000 to support the purchase of new music risers and performance acoustic panels at Middle School. Additionally, we supported West School with a budget for outdoor play spaces, including basketball hoops, soccer goals, and a marked walking path.

READ-A-THON

Our annual Read-A-Thon is designed to foster a love of reading while making the experience fun and engaging. This year, we successfully raised $5,400 to support reading enrichment and provide essential supplies for both West and Middle schools.

This year, we funded the purchase of birthday books for all students, hosted several author visits, and organized various grade reading challenges with incentives. Each year, the Foundation supports the purchase of materials for the West Book Club and provides Bluestem, Monarch, and Caudill books. Additionally, we donated over $2600 in books to classroom libraries.

PROGRAMMING

Our Celebrating Differences program provides 4th grade students with enrichment by exposing them to visible and non-visible disabilities.

We offer Junior Achievement to all K-4 students, focusing on financial literacy programming. In 7th grade, the Foundation hosts The Reality Store, where students engage in real-world budgeting scenarios, enhancing their confidence in financial literacy.
