Foundation MONROE COUNTY COMMUNITY SCHOOLS Transforming Lives 2014-2015 Annual Report Investing in our children. Investing in our future. President’s Message Dear Friends, Looking back at this school year I am deeply touched by the generosity of the Bloomington Community. The support of our donors and volunteers is creating an impact that will give all children in our public schools opportunities to succeed academically. This past year, the Foundation infused $170,000 into educational programs and resources that will engage and inspire student learning. This funding enabled the Foundation to make significant investments in several academic areas including, literacy, science, technology, engineering, math (STEM), and wellness. As you read about our teacher grants, community partnerships, and fundraisers you will see how the Foundation is fulfilling its mission to the students of the Monroe County Community School Corporation. Highlights include: • Teacher grants totaling $31,000 to 27 educators • Literacy programs and investments totaling $72,000 • STEM Projects totaling $56,000 to enhance curriculum and create dual credit courses • Scholarships and Awards totaling $11,800 and benefitting 39 students. I thank you, our donors, community partners, volunteers, board members, and staff for impacting and transforming lives for our students. Your annual support is essential to providing educational experiences that will engage and inspire learning for our students. As we look to the future, I ask for your continued support to engage students, inspire learning, and create academic success.
