It’s also back-to-school time for our LIFT recipients. Here are a few more LIFT recipients who stopped by the SEF offices this summer. These outstanding individuals are starting their fall classes as they work toward certification! We’re thrilled to have them as part of Salina Public Schools - that’s what the LIFT program is all about! We are very grateful to donors like YOU, who help make these programs possible. For more information about the LIFT program, please visit our website.

Another big thank you to our friends at United Capital Management and all those who contributed socks for our students at their annual ice cream social. Your support is greatly appreciated!

The Salina Education Foundation wishes everyone a fantastic 26-27 school year! We're looking forward to seeing lots of 'first-day-of-school' pics over the next few days. Thank you to our donors for helping add outstanding experiences for our students & staff!

Today will be a perfect day for some ice cream! And I know the perfect spot! Join our friends at United Capital Management for their annual ice cream social - today from 4-6pm. We'd also really appreciate it if you would donate socks that will help many of our USD 305 students!

Thank you to UCM! Your support knocks our socks off! See you next week!

Join us for our United Capital Management Ice Cream Social on Tuesday, August 11, from 4:00–6:00 PM at The Sullivan!

Enjoy a complimentary scoop of ice cream, spend time with our team, and help us make a difference in our community.

This year, we're partnering with the Salina Education Foundation to collect new socks (all sizes, toddler through adult) for local K-12 students. If you're able, bring a pair (or two!) to help students start the school year with confidence.

We can't wait to see you for an afternoon of sweet treats, great conversation, and giving back! ❤️
