2015 was a remarkable year for our school districts and I am very proud
of how our community came together to provide key resources to aid in
their success. We are committed to work hand in hand with all stakehold-
ers to increase support for our education community.
The Schools Foundation’s purpose is to bridge community leaders,
the business community and our schools. We accomplish this through
providing enhanced professional development and learning opportunities
for our principals and teachers which directly impacts student success.
These opportunities are made available through this community’s out-

2015 was a remarkable year for our school districts and I am very proud
of how our community came together to provide key resources to aid in
their success. We are committed to work hand in hand with all stakehold-
ers to increase support for our education community.
The Schools Foundation’s purpose is to bridge community leaders,
the business community and our schools. We accomplish this through
providing enhanced professional development and learning opportunities
for our principals and teachers which directly impacts student success.
These opportunities are made available through this community’s out-
standing philanthropic support. In 2016, we will continue to broaden the

lic awareness, commitment and engagement for our schools.
