2022 CHALLENGE GRANTS

One of the highlights of every year is the chance to celebrate the hard work, passion, and ingenuity of USD266 staff. The first Challenge Grant this year was delivered in a surprise presentation at Complete High School Maize where Caitlyn Gregory and Adam Melichar received a $4,100 grant to create a wilderness expedition program for CHSM students.

At this year's Spring Convocation (the first since 2019), MEF board members took the stage and awarded 6 more Challenge Grants.

2022 SPRING BREAKFAST

Thank you to all of this year's sponsors and donors who helped raise more than $17,500 at this year's Spring Breakfast.

One highlight of this year's event was the amount and amazing quality of work that our students are performing. Culinary students cater events and run pop-up cafes. Industrial Arts students custom-design and manufacture a range of high-quality products such as this year's lighthouse centerpieces.

Broadcast and media students write and produce award-winning videos just like the video that OneMaize Media produced for this year's Spring Breakfast. Watch it now.

STEAM EDUCATION

Earlier this year, MEF kicked off a funding initiative to provide resources for the district's elementary school STEAM labs. The effort aims to create equity among the K-4 students in the five schools to ensure they all have the same opportunity to explore the hand-on learning methods STEAM education can provide.

We still need to raise $40,000 to complete this goal and need your support. Your contribution will have a huge impact on our students as they embark on the path to discovering and reaching their potential.

ANNUAL GIVING

This spring, MEF launched an Annual Giving campaign as a way to partner with area businesses in support of the Maize School District.

Based on the donor's level of giving for the year, MEF is offering a range of benefits that will be honored in the next school year.

If you or someone you know would like to participate - or have questions - please contact Travis Bloom at 316.350.2029 or tbloom@usd266.com.

We truly appreciate your support and are excited for the opportunity to partner with you!
