Hillsboro Schools Foundation Facilitates Grants Benefiting HSD Schools

The Hillsboro Schools Foundation (HSF) is always on the lookout for donations and grants that could benefit HSD students. Here are some recent ways those efforts have paid off.

Nike Grant for PE Equipment
Thanks to a generous $23,000 grant from Nike, Free Orchards and Eastwood Elementary Schools will each be receiving new PE equipment this school year. With budgets tightening all around, external infusions of cash for the purchase of new, durable PE equipment are needed and very much appreciated!

Weyerhaeuser Grant for Picnic Tables
Last spring, the Weyerhaeuser Giving Foundation granted HSF $1000 to facilitate the construction of wooden picnic tables for students at Ladd Acres Elementary School. Glencoe High School Construction students built five full-sized and two smaller wooden picnic tables with the materials they bought with grant proceeds. The tables were then delivered to Ladd Acres by HSF staff and volunteers.

HSF Program Manager Laurie Schmidt commented: “I love this grant and the community building it represents. Plus, I think the Glencoe Construction program is amazing with all the great projects they do.”

Many thanks to HSF and their amazing donors for making projects like this a reality!
