Education Foundation reports 8,000+ pounds of supplies for Apple Mart stores, $9,000 in grants
Summary
Dr. Johnson told the board the Education Foundation collected more than 8,000 pounds of supplies for Apple Mart stores, secured over $9,000 in startup grant funding, and raised more than $130,000 at a recent anniversary event.
Dr. Johnson, representing the Education Foundation, reported that the foundation's summer planning produced a school-supply drive that brought in more than 8,000 pounds of materials to stock Apple Mart stores and support teachers ahead of the school year. "We brought in more than 8,000 pounds of school supplies that will go into our Apple Mart stores," Dr. Johnson said, and the foundation also secured more than $9,000 in grant funding to launch the program.
Dr. Johnson provided logistics: supplies will be sorted later in the week, the first shopping day for teachers is Aug. 4, and an online ordering option will replace the Eustace store for some schools. He also previewed the foundation's 20th-anniversary event, which raised more than $130,000 in sponsorships to support district programs and teacher grants. Board members asked a few procedural questions about how influencer donations and links work; no board action was taken.
