A Plus Foundation honored for $1.29-per-student gift to West Aurora USD 129
Summary
Board recognized the A Plus Foundation’s annual "129 Day" giving and a raised gift level of $1.29 per student; foundation leaders accepted certificates and thanked district staff and donors.
On Feb. 18 the board honored the A Plus Foundation for the West Aurora Schools for its ongoing support and for increasing the foundation’s annual "129 Day" gift to $1.29 per student.
The nut graf: The A Plus Foundation’s donation supports building-based initiatives across Aurora West USD 129 and district leaders credited the foundation with funding classroom and programmatic projects that extend beyond base district resources.
During the recognition, the board called forward members of the A Plus Foundation to receive certificates. Speakers from the foundation and the board emphasized that the district’s staff and the foundation’s donors enable the program. A foundation representative said the district’s staff and more than 600 teachers and staff who give to the campaign are the reason the foundation could increase its per‑student gift from $1.00 to $1.29.
Those recognized included foundation leaders and volunteers identified in the meeting as Sunny Hergett (proxy for Tom Hergett), Randy and Debbie Steinheimer (directors of recognition), Ingrid Roni (executive director), Keri Prochko (vice president) and Scott Boris (president). Board members, including President Kearns, presented certificates and posed for a photo with foundation representatives.
Ending: The board paused for a photo opportunity and thanked the A Plus Foundation for its continued support of student and staff programming across the district.
