Each spring, educators in both District 87 and Unit 5 are invited to submit a written grant application which describes the project, the method of implementation, a cost estimate and the value of the program to students. The selected programs are implemented in the following school year. Parents cannot leave a better legacy to the world than well-educated children. The Foundation is committed to educational excellence in the core academic areas, the arts and humanities, sciences, and technology. All age levels and areas of study are considered.
All work is accomplished by volunteers who serve without salary as the board of directors.
Annually the board elects officers and directors, reviews policies and practices, evaluates the funded projects and conducts a financial audit. Education will never become as expensive as ignorance. The Foundation is a group of private citizens, and is not part of either school district. Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly or it vanished. Thanks for helping expand our writing program.
