Thank you, Salesforce for your $10,000 donation to the LEF - Loudoun County Public Schools Backpack Coalition Program and for delivering the 2,000 weekend meal bags to our students and families!

Yesterday we held our annual Pro-Am Golf Tournament at Creighton Farms! On World Teacher's Day, golfers played according to COVID guidelines to help raise money that supports teachers within LCPS.

During the tournament, our Executive Director, Dawn Meyer, shared the following words with attendees: "Going from hands-on learning to virtual learning teachers are working as hard as they can and under tremendous pressure to meet the educational needs of their students. By being here today, you and your company are saying that providing funding for Teacher Grants is important, making sure families that are food insecure have food is important, providing funding for STEM education for students that are from low-socio-economics is important, providing funding for programs that address equity in education is important, helping students that are struggling with mental health and wellness is important, and making sure that all students have access to connectivity is, especially during distance learning, important."

Thank you to everyone who made yesterday so successful and safe!

[09/10/20]   Our Making a Difference Teacher Classroom Grant application is open! This year, we will be collecting applications virtually. The deadline for the Fall 2020 cycle is Tuesday, October 13th. For more information on how to apply and application criteria, visit our website here: https://buff.ly/3m4DWnj
