Board accepts donations including endowment grants and adaptive bikes for elementary schools
Summary
The board accepted gifts and donations including $5,000 endowment grants to two college-advisor programs, a $10,200 gift to provide four adaptive bikes, and multiple smaller donations for athletics and weekend food programs.
The Port Huron Area School District Board voted Dec. 15 to accept a package of gifts and donations to district programs and schools. Member Murphy moved—and Member Totty supported—the motion to accept the gifts as presented; the motion passed unanimously (Yeas: 6 Nays: 0).
Major items in the gifts list include $5,000 from the Port Huron School's Endowment Fund through the Community Foundation of St. Clair County to the Port Huron High School College Advisor Program and a separate $5,000 to the Port Huron Northern High School College Advisor Program. The endowment fund also donated $10,200 to provide four adaptive bikes to Woodrow Wilson and Garfield elementary schools to support the CI program. The Community Foundation of St. Clair County's Community Assistance Fund donated $3,640 to weekend food programs at Port Huron High and Woodrow Wilson. Other donors and corporate sponsors provided several thousand dollars in support for athletics and student programs.
The minutes record donor names and amounts (for example, "Serenity Salon Escape LLC donated $1,000.00 to Port Huron Northern Athletic Boosters" and donations from individual and corporate sponsors). The board directed that letters of appreciation be sent to donors on behalf of the board.
