"The  Foundation exists to broaden financial support, promote interest, encourage participation, and create good will for the extra-curricular activities among faculty, students, alumni, parents, and friends of the Storm Lake Community School District."

Storm Lake Community School District Foundation announced the awarding of classroom educator incentive grants in the Storm Lake District for the 2023-24 school year.  These grants were awarded by Mike Porsch, Executive Director of the Foundation.

These grants are intended to support work that cannot be accomplished with current district funds.  These will fund classroom or building projects which will help teachers in accomplishing already determined school improvement goals.   It is the foundation’s hope that this will continue the financial support for the hard working staff in the district and will allow teachers to creatively develop programming that will allow all students to be successful.   The Foundation hopes that this seed money will allow educators to move ahead in a project that might make the crucial difference in achievement for some students.
