Education foundation pitches Feb. 14 gala to fund teacher grants
Summary
A representative of the St. Clair County Education Foundation told Argo council members the Mardi Gras Gala on Feb. 14 will raise money to fund teacher grants of $500–$750 and asked for donations to support the program.
Ms. Nancy of the St. Clair County Education Foundation told the Argo City Council during a Jan. 12 work session that the organization will hold a Mardi Gras Gala on Feb. 14, 2026, as a fundraiser to support teacher grants.
The event is intended to provide grants to teachers ranging from $500 to $750 to support classroom needs, Ms. Nancy said, and she urged the council and community members to consider donating. The council did not take a formal action during the work session; the presentation was informational and part of the agenda review.
The council’s attention to the fundraiser came during a review of the regular meeting agenda; no pledge of city funding or formal commitment was recorded in the transcript. The foundation representative requested community support, and the council heard the request as it plans future agenda items and outreach.
The council is scheduled to reconvene for its regular meeting; Ms. Nancy did not provide additional logistical details beyond the event date and the grant amounts.
