Over $109,000 will soon be making its way to our Classroom Grants Program, benefitting classrooms all across the district, thanks to our sponsors, golfers, and volunteers of our 2021 Golf Classic! We continue to be amazed at the generosity of our community and its commitment to education in Ogden. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
We are thrilled to announce the winners of the 2021 Telitha Lindquist Greiner Excellence in Teaching Awards! One teacher selected by their peers from each school who exemplifies and excellence and best teaching practices is chosen to receive the award. Winners were given a $500 prize, a gift card to Union Grill, and will be recognized in our newsletters throughout the year. These educators truly exemplify the high caliber of teaching throughout the Ogden School District and we are honored to be able to present them with this prestigious award.
We had to cancel in 2020, but we are excited to bring back our Night at the Raptors Event for 2021! Mark your calendars for Friday, August 27, and plan on joining us for a fun night to celebrate the start of the 2021-22 school year.
Recently, the Ogden School Foundation received a $100,000 donation from an anonymous community partner to make sure that students in Ogden had access to food and hygiene items, ensuring student health to facilitate better learning. We are so appreciative of this generous donation, which will be used to help stock the new Marketstar Student Resource Center with supplies to help students and their families (be watching for more info on that to come!). These funds were also used to deliver healthy snack options to every classroom in the district that teachers can utilize throughout the school day to help reduce hunger and fuel student learning (we delivered over 647 cases of granola bars!). In addition, we were able to provide "meal in a bag" kits for Ogden School District families, and also supply hygiene kits to be distributed at maturation programs in our elementary schools. This generous donation is reaching every student in every school!
"Thank you so much!" said one elementary principal. "This is a great time to have (these classroom snacks) since testing is upcoming and kiddos are hungry and anxious during this time of year." One of our high school principals agreed, saying, "We are so excited to use these snacks during testing! We distributed them to every classroom!" And a 1st grade teacher at another school added, "Our students are so excited! The kids definitely get hungry throughout the day, and this will make a big difference. We appreciate your generous donation and we know the kids do too!"
