“The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.” - Sir John Lubbock Ideas count. Innovation matters. Creativity pushes us ahead. Nowhere is this more important than in our schools. Teachers need to be able to develop curriculum designed for their particular students. To light that fuse, to inspire children to learn. But in today’s challenging economy, school budgets cannot always accommodate innovation. We start where school budgets leave off…. Foundation 153 is a not-for-profit organization aligned with School District 153 that allows teachers to see their ideas to fruition. We fund creativity. We help teachers introduce programs that are relevant and meaningful to children. Field trips, reading programs, visits by authors, technology and equipment – whatever tools and materials a teacher needs to best serve the students. Through fundraisers and donations, we gather resources to create opportunities for our children. Opportunities that will last them a lifetime.
“Teaching is the greatest act of optimism.” - Colleen Wilcox
