Make An Impact for Students!

A Night of Impact, our annual Foundation gala, will be held on Saturday, October 26th, 2024. This event is presented by Orlando Health and gives guests a premier experience while raising funds to support amazing programs in Seminole County Public Schools. Funds raised are used to support school and district programs in the areas of STEM, scholarships, visual and performing arts, essential supplies for students, and more!

We invite you to join over 300 community leaders and school district leadership in supporting our students. This is the best opportunity to show your support while also enjoying an evening with an exciting silent and live auction, networking, dinner, and a look into the programs in our schools.

Community Supply Drive

The start of school is right around the corner! As we gear up for the new school year, we will be hosting a supply drive during Tax-Free Weeks to collect essential school supplies and classroom materials for our Tools 4 Seminole Schools program.

We are inviting our community to participate in this supply drive! Your donations can make a significant difference in the lives of our students. From July 29 – August 9 come by our building and drop off new supplies in our bin in the front lobby. No time to shop? Donate online and we’ll purchase the supplies! Your contribution of any amount can make a huge difference.

Rotary Club Establishes Scholarship

Over the spring scholarship season, the Rotary Club of Seminole County South donated $50,000 to establish an endowed scholarship fund. This generous contribution will create the “Rotary Club of Seminole County South Legacy Scholarship” an annual scholarship that will continue the club’s legacy of supporting college scholarships. It will be awarded annually to a Lyman senior who is committed to service – in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Thank you for this wonderful addition to our scholarships available to high school seniors!

Have You Heard?

Last Friday, The Foundation and Superintendent awarded Altamonte Elementary, Spring Lake Elementary, Greenwood Lakes Middle, and Lake Howell High the Closing the Gap Award!

This award recognizes schools that made significant learning gains with students. Each school receives $2,000 from The Foundation to be used for staff appreciation and support continued student achievement.

The Foundation is proud to support Seminole County Public Schools new Student Success Express! The Student Success Express is a converted school bus that is equipped with mobile hotspot technology, a student reading nook, and a variety of district-wide resources for families across our great county.

The SSE’s mission is to bring SCPS’s diverse resources directly into communities to enhance and expand connection to families.
