Seminole Resiliency Community Project

Over the summer, The Foundation worked with school leaders and community-based partners to plan and develop future resiliency and character education programs. This planning was possible thanks to funding awarded by the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations and Florida Department of Education to support the development of resiliency skills in our students.

As a trusted partner of the Florida Department of Education, we are committed to working with the district and the community to infuse resiliency resources in schools through community-based programming and locally driven initiatives to help address rising concerns around youth mental health and well-being. The programs begin this October and continue through the school year and will offer trainings to students, parents, and staff. Thank you to both organizations for helping make this possible!

Disney Donates $25,000

Thanks to the Walt Disney Company, The Foundation received a $25,000 grant that will be used to help expand workforce development and early learning student programs. Funds will support a number of Foundation programs as well as the district’s Public Service Academy at Winter Springs High School.

Thank you Walt Disney Company! Read more.

Thank you Bergeron Framing Inc. for their $10,000 donation to our Tools 4 Seminole Schools program! This program collects and distributes school supplies and classroom materials to help alleviate the financial burden of purchasing school supplies from teachers and low-income parents.

Thank you for supporting a program that means so much to our teachers and students!

Our Take Stock in Children program is still looking for two male mentors! One for a student at Seminole High School and one at Lake Brantley High School.

Just 30 minutes a week provides our hard-working students with the tools to thrive throughout high school, into college and in their future communities. If you're interested, please contact Shannon Rininger.
