The Foundation for Excellence since 1983 has raised and contributed nearly $400,000 to support District 202 students and staff in the form of grants, scholarships and special funding.

The Foundation has also supported special programs including a District Art Gallery, the Great Read community reading program and the 1847 Schoolhouse Restoration.

“For more than three decades, the Foundation for Excellence has proudly worked to help District 202 students, staff and community to excel and grow,” said Foundation Chair Margie Bonuchi.

“We are grateful for the support that we have gotten, and continue to get each year for this important work from our neighbors, friends, business people and families,” Bonuchi said.
