THE FOUNDATION | October 2023

See You On Saturday!

Our SOLD OUT A Night of Impact gala will be held this Saturday! This event, presented by Orlando Health, is our annual signature gala that raises funds to support school and district programs in the areas of STEM, scholarships, visual and performing arts, essential supplies for students, and more.

We have many programs and resources set up for our students who are most in need; students who are experiencing homelessness, family financial troubles, difficult childhood experiences, and many more situations that can effect their day to day learning in school. This event gives us an opportunity to raise funds for all of these students, to ensure that they can come to school every day, ready to learn. Didn't get a chance to purchase a ticket but still want to support our students? You can do so by donating online at any time by clicking here.

Lockheed Martin Continues to Support STEM

Thank you Lockheed Martin for their $20,000 grant! These funds will support STEM Career / Technical Education programs at three of our high schools; the Cybersecurity Programs at Lake Howell and Crooms Academy of Information Technology, as well as continued support of the Water Technology Program at Lake Brantley. Thank you Lockheed Martin for having a passion for supporting STEM programs at the high school level!

Have You Heard?

At the beginning of October, in partnership with Cigna and Orlando Health, the SCPS Wellness department had their inaugural Mental Health Matters Event.

The evening created a unique opportunity for employees to enjoy a night with each other to have fun and learn more about mental, emotional and physical energy and had a great turnout!

During Cycle I of our Grants for Great Ideas application process, our committee awarded 19 different projects for a total of $29, 277.97!

This program gives our teachers an opportunity to bring their great ideas into life and the can use funding for a multitude of different things! We can't wait to see how these projects turn out!
