stories

Mrs. Skylar Bruce, Band Director Music Teacher at Franklin County High School  was able to use the money to go towards purchasing a new French horn and a new 3/4 size tuba for her students to play on. Prior to purchasing the French horn, the band did not have one that was playable. Because of this, the band had to borrow a French horn that was not in great condition from another school for her student to play the instrument.

Hydroponics farm at the school
Kim Collins, an innovative STEM class teacher (9-12), began a hydroponics project with her students in the fall of 2022 with grants from Tennessee Valley Authority, Tennessee STEM Innovation Network (TSIN), Battelle (a non-profit company and the Franklin County Educational Foundation for Excellence. Currently, her STEM students are growing and selling lettuce and microgreens supplying Winchester’s Filo’s Tavern. They also supply their Teachers and staff with plenty of leafy greens. Mrs. Collins says a future goal includes increasing production so as to provide their cafeteria with all its greens.

Mrs. Chelsea Hall, STEM Teacher at South Middle School was able to purchase a full aquaponics system (several fish, aquarium supplies, and several types of plants). This initiative will hopefully spark an interest in environmental/agricultural studies and encourage students to go into high school with some prior knowledge of how these systems work.

Our foundation was able to donate 2,900 glasses for all of the elementary students in our district to safely view the total eclipse on April 8th, 2024! Students across the district did lots of learning leading up to their spectacular viewing! We were so happy to help make this happen!

Mrs. Jamie Olsen, Art Teacher at Decherd Elementary was able to buy quality art supplies. Oil pastels, paint sticks, watercolor paints, printmaking supplies, markers, needle felting supplies, etc. With a budget of only $800 for 400 Title 1 students, the Ed Foundation has blessed her with a functioning children’s Art Studio. The purchases have helped her use professional supplies with her students.
