WHEN YOU'RE HUNGRY, IT'S HARD TO LEARN.
Hunger is a barrier to learning right here in District 196. Which is why we partner with local sponsors and Every Meal to provide weekend food for students. Kids are more ready to learn on Monday when they do not come to school hungry.
WITHOUT school supplies, Students cannot fully participate in learning.
The District 196 Foundation puts backpacks, pencils, notebooks, and other school supplies directly into the hands of students who need them most.
EVERY STUDENT DESERVES A CHANCE TO TOOT THEIR OWN HORN.
We know that learning music facilitates learning in other subjects and enhances skills that children inevitably use in other areas. Through the Band for All initiative, we raise funds that allow the district to restore used instruments so more kids can enjoy band and the many benefits of the arts.
