Greenfield-Central School Foundation

Ginny Brown of the Greenfield-Central School Foundation spoke to Kiwanis about the Foundation and it's programs.   The Foundation was started in 1988 as the Set A Good Example Foundation.  It became Greenfield-Central School Foundation in 2012.   The Foundation became GCSF after recognizing both the need and the opportunity to provide stronger financial support to the school corporation as a whole.

The programs include Enrichment Grants which fund programs like "Girls on the Run", an intermediate school program that helps to empower young women. 

Other programs include

• Wish Upon a Star

• Partners In Education (PIE)

• Educational Enrichment (E2) Grants

• G-C Alumni Hall of Fame

• Awards and Recognition

• Star Power

Some of the grants funds programs such as:

• Archeology Club

• Vex Robotics

• Purchasing books for a classroom library

• Project Arrow, where High School mentors help Junior High students.  Participation in this program increase the likelihood of  participants graduating by 70 percent.

• STEM nights

• Literacy Nights

• Kindergarten 101 for students who did not attend pre-school before Kindergarten.

The major fund-raising event is the Red Letter Gala.   For more information on donating or about the Foundation or it's programs see https://www.gcschoolfoundation.org/
