Link Up! With Carnegie Hall - In partnership with the Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra, Link Up! is an innovative music education outreach to the youth of Northwest Florida. Fourth graders from across the district will learn and perform select songs by participating in fun classroom activities that culminate in an interactive concert with the NFSO.
Teacher of the Year and Educational Support Person of the Year Awards - The Foundation is a proud sponsor of the Teacher of the Year (TOY) and Educational Support Person of the Year (ESPY) awards. Each year winners receive a $100 donation and the two runners-up receive $25 each.
Volunteer - Our schools frequently rely on parent volunteers for a variety of help, from special projects to fund-raising to helping out with art or music programs and so on. Our volunteers have enriched the school experience for thousands of our students, enabling us to offer opportunities that would never have been possible without their help.
