Lincoln County R3 Education Foundation

🎉Congratulations to Ms. Owens on the success of her 2025 Education Foundation Grant! 🌟

"Thanks to the LCR3 Education Foundation, our students have had access to sensory supports that help them stay focused, regulated, and ready to learn. Tools like noise-cancelling headphones and individualized sensory items have made a meaningful difference for students who need extra support throughout the day. We are grateful for the opportunity to better meet the diverse needs of our learners and create a more inclusive environment for all." - Ms. Owens

This is the direct impact of the generosity of our sponsors and donors at work. Thank you for making these classroom grants possible!

We’re excited to share that we recently received a $2,500 Spark Good grant from our local Walmart! These funds will be used to support innovative classroom projects across the LCR3 District!

Thank you, Walmart Troy - Highway 47 E, for believing in our mission and investing in our students! We are proud to spark good in our community!

🎉 Grant Impact Spotlight! 🎉 Congratulations to Ms. Mix at Claude Brown Elementary on the success of her 2025 classroom grant!

"Claude Brown Elementary is excited to share that this past school year we received a grant to create a CORE room, a low-stimulation space designed to support students’ social-emotional and sensory needs. This calming environment offers tools to help students regulate their emotions and refocus for learning. This opportunity allowed us to better support student well-being and create a safe, inclusive space where all learners can succeed. We are incredibly grateful to the Education Foundation for their generous support." - Ms. Mix

Programs like these are made possible by our incredible community partners and donors. Thank you for helping us fund tools that make a meaningful difference for our students every single day!

We want to extend a special THANK YOU to Community Opportunities for partnering with us to fund three classroom grants this year! We are incredibly grateful for your continued support of our educators and students and can’t wait to see these grants come to life next school year!

We are so excited to highlight our Gold level sponsor CMS Homes! Looking for space to grow? Check them out!

Thank you CMS Homes for continuing to support the Education Foundation and the LCR3 District!

A lot of people start their CMS Homes journey on a Sunday.

Usually from the couch.
Coffee in hand.
Scrolling listings.
Wondering if building sounds stressful.

That’s why our website is built to answer real questions:
• What does semi-custom actually mean?
• Do I need a construction loan?
• Can I build on my own land?
• How much customization is possible?
• What communities are available right now?

The process matters just as much as the home.

Start here:

Then come see us in person Monday through Saturday at our display homes in Orchard Grove.
