This month, Sherri McKeen, had a chance to connect with each of our New Albany Floyd County Consolidated School Corporation high school athletic directors for our September Legacy Ledger issue. It is definitely worth checking out!

The September Legacy Ledger is in your inbox this morning! 📬

This month we're catching up with two 1991 NAHS grads, Shawn Garmon and Matt Brown, friends since elementary school who now lead our two NAFCS high school athletic programs. It is a must-read edition.

Plus, check out all the details on the upcoming Blessings in a Backpack 5K & 1M Fun Run on October 24th.

$66,546 invested in student mental health. 💜

In 2026, the NAFC Education Foundation awarded funding for 40 Mental Health Grants supporting students and educators across New Albany Floyd County Schools.

These grants are helping schools create supportive environments, strengthen student connection and belonging, and provide resources that address the mental health needs educators are seeing every day.

Thank you to the educators who brought forward thoughtful ideas and to the donors who make this funding possible.

Another $47,924 in Great Classroom Grants hit NAFC classrooms this September, funding 65 projects at 15 schools! From speech therapy tools and CPR supplies to math manipulatives and expanding classroom libraries, these grants are putting resources directly in the hands of New Albany Floyd County Consolidated School Corporation teachers and students.

Thank you to our donors for making it happen. That brings our total for the 2026-27 school year to more than $102,700 so far!

🍎Thank you to our Give for Good Louisville donors!

Thanks to our community, the NAFC Education Foundation raised $23,245 during Give for Good Louisville, surpassing our $20,000 goal.

That total includes $13,245 given by 49 generous donors, plus $10,000 in matching funds from our two Matching Gift Partners, First Merchants and a generous anonymous donor. Their support doubled the impact of every dollar given that day.

Maybe the best part: 17 donors gave to the NAFC Education Foundation for the first time. Welcome to the family. We're so glad you're here.

These gifts support Great Classroom Grants, Mental Health Grants, Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, Blessings in a Backpack, and First Year Teacher Gifts throughout the year.

Thank you to everyone who gave, shared, and supported NAFC students and teachers.
