Gratitude Report2017-2018

Helping all Students Succeed!

Our MissionThe Foundation of Monroe County

Community Schools engages community support to inspire learning, enrich teaching, and enhance educational opportunities for

all MCCSC students.

Education Changes Lives!To reflect on the 2017-2018 school year I pulled out a folder from my desk filled with grants, evaluations, and notes I received from teachers and students throughout the year. As I reread these texts, I began to feel a deep sense of gratitude embedded in their words. One teacher shared her story of an unexpected result that will forever change a child’s life.

Her grant was a simple request for $500 to purchase 40 library books about spiders, bats and snakes -

“One of my fourth grade students is always coming into the library for reading materials. He has some behavior problems that he is learning to manage and he really likes to read stories. To expand his interests, I have been challenging him to read more non-fiction materials. After purchasing these titles he selected the book Anacondas. I asked him to tell me one important fact he learned about them on his next visit the library.

Later that week he moseyed into the library, dropped his book in the return bin, and proceeded to tell me how the anaconda can distend their jaws to swallow animals three times larger than they are. The delight in his voice when he used the word “distend” told me he was fascinated. He asked where to find another snake book. He was intrigued by the topic but even better he was hooked on reading and that is life changing.”

As you read our annual impact I hope you can feel this child’s excitement and our gratitude to you for generously changing young lives!
