SIMPSON FOUNDATION

The Simpson Foundation had a busy September! We celebrated the 6th grade as the winners of our grade level challenge with an ice cream and popsicle party and a chick-fil-a gift card. We've also been able to fund many exterior improvements- a huge thank you to Bright Campos Landscape for their partnership. Your donations have allowed us to fund school grants, including support for the Homework Club, VR charging cords for the science and math departments, physics instruments for hands-on instruction, sending our music teachers to the Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic, and more! To date, we've raised over $8,000 for our Family Investment Campaign. We will happily accept funds throughout the year, so please keep those donations coming. Donate Here.
