Foundation 205 Elmhurst

Thank you once again to all of the local businesses who sponsored our 3rd annual golf outing! We appreciate your passion for our mission of elevating education in Elmhurst!

This week, our staff and board of directors had the honor of awarding 25 Foundation 205 Thiems grants totaling $174,795 to staff and educators throughout District 205! We’re excited to see these innovative ideas and projects come to life for our students during the 2024-25 school year. For a complete listing of grant winners from this year and years past, head to www.foundation205.org. We hope you’ll enjoy a few snapshots from our “prize patrol” yesterday - congratulations to all of our winners!

The last total solar eclipse that was able to be seen from the United States took place in 2017 and won’t happen again until the year 2044! 🌓 That’s why Foundation 205 thought it was important to provide solar eclipse glasses to every student and staff member in D205! Thanks to your generous donations, 10,500 pairs of glasses were purchased so that we could all experience this incredible moment together during the school day. We can’t wait to hear what the kids have to say about this event!

Western suburb friends, Early bird pricing for the Foundation 205 golf outing ends this Friday. Foursomes and select sponsorship opportunities are still available. I hope to see many of you on May 20th at Arrowhead GC! https://lnkd.in/gqEBPg_M
