In March 2023, we had the pleasure of delivering a grant to Bethany Scroggs, a teacher at Lincoln Elementary School in Morton, Illinois. She had big plans to start a classroom business in order to teach her students math and communications skills, as well as how to work together as a team. Missed it? Read all about it here.
In October 2023, Pride Pals was born. Read about it's opening day here. Throughout the school year, Lincoln students visited the school store, where they could find items like pencils, sunglasses and keychains. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of students and their leaders, school social worker Molly Winkler and occupational therapy assistant Amanda Bunting, Pride Pals finished its inaugural year with a profit of $1,218!
Learn more about Pride Pals in this video, where we hear from a few of our Pride Pals, including Brooklyn, who may have a career in either sales or movies in her future.
