New Albany-Floyd County Education Foundation

Welcome to the NAFCS family, new teachers! 🍎

We're a few days late in sharing this, but we couldn't let it pass without a shoutout. We got to welcome our 40 new teachers last week, and thanks to our generous supporters, each of them will receive a $100 Amazon gift card to help get their classrooms ready.

Here's to a great first year, and thank you to everyone who makes moments like this possible!

Great Classroom Grants help bring educator ideas to life.
Across NAFC schools, these grants have supported books, science tools, music supplies, sensory supports, career-focused materials, outdoor learning, classroom resources, and so much more. Each project looks different, but the impact is the same: students gain access to learning experiences that are meaningful, hands-on, creative, and connected to what they need.

NAFC educators, the 2026-27 Great Classroom Grant application is now open. The first round of applications must be submitted by August 3, 2026. After that, applications will be reviewed on a rolling monthly basis.

Because great ideas for students deserve support.

A Great Classroom Grant can look like a lot of different things.

Books. Science materials. Guitars. Culinary supplies. Theatre materials. Student magazines. Sensory supports. Outdoor learning tools.

The common thread is simple: educators know what their students need.
Great Classroom Grants help turn those classroom ideas into real learning experiences students can read, build, test, create, perform, and remember.

Celebrate the educator. Support more classroom ideas.

NAFC Educators apply by Monday, August 3, to be considered for the first round of funding: https://tinyurl.com/Great-Classroom-Grants-26-27

Learning comes alive when students can build, test, create, and explore.

Through a Great Classroom Grant, students at Greenville Elementary had the chance to engage in hands-on STEM learning that encouraged creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving.

This is what Great Classroom Grants are all about: turning educator ideas into meaningful classroom experiences.

The forecast may have looked questionable, but the weather cooperated beautifully. Not a single drop of rain fell at Champions Pointe all day!

We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors, golfers, volunteers, and everyone who helped make the 18th Annual Play FORE! Education Charity Golf Classic such a success. Your support helps the NAFC Education Foundation continue investing in NAFCS students, teachers, and schools.

What a perfect evening to kick off the 18th Annual Play FORE! Education Charity Golf Classic!

The Vista at Origin Park provided a beautiful setting to gather with so many friends and supporters of the NAFC Education Foundation. Guests enjoyed delicious food prepared by NAFCS Food Services, along with wine and bourbon tastings hosted by Starlight Distillery.

A special thank you to Wold | VPS Architects and Engineers for sponsoring the reception and helping us begin this year’s event in such a memorable way!
