This Year's Project: Classroom Mini-Grant Fund
About Our Organization
The overall mission and goal of the Cardinal Educational Foundation (CEF) is to enhance the tax-funded education by creating additional opportunities for students through philanthropic means. CEF is a catalyst for community-wide support of public education, bringing individuals, local businesses, and nonprofit partners together with the SSC Community Schools through consistent fundraising and volunteerism to provide important programs and resources that keep our community strong. Now more than ever, we must invest at a local level in our teachers, our students, and their families to uphold the community's long held belief in the power of education to create a strong civic culture, build a thriving economy, trained workforce and provide equal opportunity for all.
Current Project: Classroom Mini-Grant Fund
Please help advance and build our Classroom Mini-Grant Fund. The Cardinal Education Foundation (CEF) would like to offer teachers more Mini-Grants to benefit the students of the South Sioux City Community School District. This Mini-Grants Program provides small grants to teachers for equipment / programs / activities / supplies that go beyond the school district’s limited budget. The primary focus of this program is to enhance student learning by providing new and innovative educational experiences. By putting resources directly into the hands of teachers, we hope that it allows them to go above and beyond the regular classroom curriculum.
Overall, small classroom grants empower teachers to go beyond the limitations of school budgets and provide high-quality, innovative education. They contribute to a more equitable and enriched learning environment, fostering creativity, student engagement, and professional development.
Phase II of the Cardinal Activities Project
Project Details
Construction on Phase I will wrap up soon. The new turf measures 120 yards by 65 yards wide and be marked for Soccer & Football. The District is depending on a fund-raising campaign to enhance other aspects of the complex, so the scope of Phase II will depend on the generosity of our donors. Phase II features include visitor seating, concession stand, pavilion, plaza area, improved entrance and storage.
We are depending on YOU for Phase II
Donors who contribute at a donor level over $1000 will be recognized on the Cardinal Wall of Honor. Show YOUR Cardinal Pride... DONATE TODAY! Thank you!
