The Fountain City Community is coming together to support Gresham Middle School in the pursuit of academic excellence, through the establishment of a 501(c) 3 charitable Foundation. Each year students from Inskip, Fountain City, Ritta, Shannondale, and Sterchi enter thedoors of Gresham Middle School, where they are guided and challenged by an exceptional staff whose goal is to help our children to achieve their greatest potential. This is quite a job, particularly when funding from the county is limited. The Gresham Middle School Foundation (GMSF) will strive to bridge the gap between what Knox County allots to Gresham and the needs our school and GMSF sees as essential to provide our children with an optimal learning environment. GMSF will consist of dedicated parent volunteers, as well as Fountain City community members who are vested in the success of Gresham Middle School and Central High School – our Fountain City community schools. GMSF’s primary focus will be to: (a) support academic excellence, (b) support staff development and retention, (c) expand technology resources, and (d) improve the historic campus of Gresham Middle School. Without volunteers, this Foundation will not succeed. If you are interested in serving in some capacity on the Gresham Middle School Foundation, please let us know. If you have any questions about the emerging Foundation, please feel free to contact us via email at [email protected] or the school office at (865-689-1430). Also – SAVE THE DATE – Saturday, April 5th – for our first GMSF Spring Soiree! (Stay tuned for details.) Please join us in Honoring The Past, While Stepping Into The Future!
