Professional Theatre
productions in the
schools and at the
Thrasher-Horne Center
for the Arts, along with
visiting authors, and
classroom libraries for
entire grade levels are
all activities funded by
the Foundation with the
goal of enriching the
learning
experiences of
our
children.

When there
are no other resources, the
Foundation works with social
workers, schools principals and
the Clay County Health
Department to help students in
need of hearing aids, dental
visits, doctor appointments,
etc. The Foundation, for
example,
recently donated funds
to purchase lice kits to a
school where the problem was
greatly
affecting attendance.

The Shoe Fund
began several years ago when a
Foundation Director discovered
that some children did not have
decent shoes to wear to school.
Thus far, the Foundation has
donated more than 1,000 pairs of
shoes to school nurses and
social workers to give out
as
needed.

Students
cannot learn if they do not have
the basic supplies.
Ever sensitive to preserving the
students' dignity, the
Foundation provides school
supplies at the beginning of the
school year to those in need.
