From
its beginnings in 1987, the Foundation has stood for excellence in
public school education. During
its first decade, the Foundation grew from a fledgling organization
with $12,000 in seed money into one of the most successful public
school foundations in the nation with over $2 million in assets.
Since the early 1900s, the
Foundation has awarded hundreds of mini-grants to enrich existing
curricula or to help pilot new opportunities in Grand Forks Public
Schools that would not have been funded through other local means.
The Foundation provides critical support to our educators and
students in the exciting endeavor called “learning.”
The mission statement of Grand Forks Public Schools is, “To
Provide Opportunities for All Students to Develop Their Maximum
Potential.” On behalf of
all associated with our school district, I express sincere gratitude
and appreciation to the Foundation for the support in achieving our
vision!
