Foundation for Educational Excellence Notecards Fundraiser Showcases Original D300 Student Artwork
All-occasion notecards perfect for holiday gift-giving
ALGONQUIN –Just in time for holiday gift-giving, the School District 300 Foundation for Educational Excellence is selling boxed sets of all-occasion note cards that feature unique original works by District 300 art students.
Priced at $15 a pack, the note cards are an ideal gift for loved ones and colleagues this holiday season. A pack contains 15 note cards, each specially designed by individual D300 art students whose works were among those displayed in the Foundation’s Cultural Arts on the Fox event earlier this year.
All proceeds from sales of the notecards support the Foundation’s mission to enhance and extend learning opportunities for all students in Community Unit School District 300 by funding innovative grant projects. Notecards ordered online by District 300 families will be delivered to the designated child's school one week after payment is received. Orders placed by other community members can be picked up at the D300 Central Office at 2550 Harnish Drive in Algonquin during regular business hours. (receipt and id required)
