I am pleased to announce I have joined the Haysville Education Board as its new Vice President. Recently, the Foundation became a standalone entity with a new mission, new Board of Directors and the ability to fundraise and distribute funds. The organization is dedicated to the opportunity to foster innovation in the classroom and offer assistance to the students of USD 261.
Former Sedgwick County Commissioner Tim Norton and Dr. Susan Norton have taken on the administration and leadership of the Foundation on a volunteer basis, until it is sustainable and has met the goals of its recent strategic planning session. The Foundation is in the process of developing a signature fundraising event for this fall and writing grant applications to major donors.
Social media platforms are being developed to supplement the recent launch of the Foundation website. Communication of progress, outreach to patrons and alumni and the telling of individual success stories will be critical to keep people informed and build a following.
