The North Platte Public Schools Foundation is thrilled to announce the continuation of a successful partnership with Fat Dogs and Wilkinson Development for the second year of the “REACHing One Classroom at a Time” initiative. This unique collaboration aims to support and uplift local educators by surprising a deserving teacher each week with grant funds to enhance their classroom experience.
For 21 weeks during the school year, the North Platte Public Schools Foundation, alongside generous matching contributions from Fat Dogs, will provide grant funds to teachers in the North Platte Public Schools District. These funds are intended to empower educators to implement innovative and creative projects that will positively impact their students and enhance the overall learning environment.
The “REACHing One Classroom at a Time” initiative aligns with the Foundation’s mission to enrich the educational experiences of students within the North Platte Public School District. By partnering with Fat Dogs and Wilkinson Development for the second consecutive year, the Foundation aims to build on the success of the previous year, fostering a culture of support and appreciation for the dedicated teachers who make a difference in the lives of students every day.
“We are excited to once again join forces with Fat Dogs and Wilkinson Development to make a lasting impact on the education of our students,” said Terri Burchell, Executive Director. “This initiative not only provides much-needed resources to our educators but also highlights the importance of community partnerships in shaping the future of our students.”
Fat Dogs and Wilkinson Development share the Foundation’s commitment to education and community development. Their continued support exemplifies a shared vision of investing in the growth and success of local schools and, by extension, the broader community.
“We are honored to be part of this initiative for the second year and to contribute to the educational enrichment of North Platte classrooms,” stated Clarine Eickhoff, Chief of Operations “Empowering teachers directly translates into empowering our students, and we look forward to witnessing the positive outcomes of this collaboration.”
The North Platte Public Schools Foundation expresses its gratitude to Fat Dogs and Wilkinson Development for their ongoing commitment to education and for making “REACHing One Classroom at a Time” a transformative and impactful program for North Platte Public School educators.
