Letter from the Executive Director


October was a very busy month for The Schools Foundation! We have been working on our upcoming Golden Apple Gala. The school systems recently announced the Teacher of the Year from every school. Our teachers are very excited to be honored at The Golden Apple Gala!

 

Many of our new teachers participated in our second session of ReChargeTeachers who are new to the profession enjoyed hearing from experts in the areas of special education, parent communication, student assessment, mental health wellness, and instruction of English Language Learners.  


I would like to thank our donors for making this program possible!
