Kim Muff, Concordia USD 333
Students and staff at CES, CMS, and CJSHS were all smiles when gifts were delivered to their classrooms just before Christmas. Gifts were purchased with donations from the USD 333 Education Fund, created in 2022 to directly support Concordia public schools, and the school district has received contributions which enhance learning in many ways.
Students and teachers were excited to receive literacy resources, STEM activities, new classroom games, stand-up desks, and compound microscopes. Resources provided from donor funds create a renewed excitement for learning. These donor gifts are in addition to a recent anonymous donor contribution of $20,000 announced at the December USD 333 Board of Education meeting. Those funds will be used to upgrade the video productions software and equipment at CHS, among other classroom resources across the district.
The long-term goal of the USD 333 Education Fund is to provide opportunities to grow funds as a viable option for endowed positions, programming, and facility improvements for decades to come.
The fund is held at the Community Foundation for Cloud County, a 501(c)(3) managed by the Greater Salina Community Foundation. All gifts to this fund are tax deductible.
