WHERE OUR PROJECT MONEY IS USED
"Students were so excited to have additional motor capabilities for their robot designs in the Robotics 2 class at Denfeld. Sincere thanks to the Greater Denfeld Foundation for helping make this possible!”
“I would like to note that this was the first year running the Robotics 2 class, so we did not have many students who had already gone through the Robotics 1 class to take it yet. This expansion to our robotics kits will be an ongoing benefit to the class, and will impact many more additional students in future years. Thank you so much for the help providing students with things they need, not just for my class, but for all the classes you provide funds to assist!”

Overall, your support significantly impacts our ability to provide quality education, and I am grateful for your consideration of my request. Thank you for investing in our students' learning experiences and helping us create a productive and well-equipped classroom.”

The impact of the practice room sound panels has made practicing music more enjoyable. The rooms are much quieter than before. This will impact future Hunter band members for years to come! Thank you so much for offering these grant opportunities. Your organization has been a great help to the band program at Denfeld, as well as other school groups. Thank you.”

“We had much success. We were able to provide the time, space and equipment for 60-75 kids to use their free time at lunch in a positive and healthy environment. Every single donated ball was used every day, to the point of some of them already wearing out by the end of the year.”
I’m paraphrasing assistant principal, Tanya Jackson. “It’s so fulfilling to see the kids just having fun being kids.” (Referencing the positive impact a break like this has on their school day.)
