The purpose of the St. Joseph Public Schools Foundation is to raise, steward and distribute resources to enrich the education of students in the St. Joseph Public Schools District.

Thank you - donors, administrators, teachers, students, parents, alumni and community members for your support. It's a GREAT Partnership and your support allows the Foundation to award over $600,000 annually back to the district.

Sam Abdelnour, President of the SJPS Foundation noted, "1:1 is a big commitment by the SJPS Foundation in addition to the other grants and projects we fund, but we're all in! All students need robust technology in today's educational climate and it's a critical part of our offerings to SJPS families. We're grateful to our donors who make this happen."

One of the most effective means of improving reading achievement and growing a love of reading is providing students with engaging reading materials. The joy our students exhibit when receiving these books is something special! We have seen the benefits of our summer reading program - especially through the pandemic summer. Our students maintained their reading skills in part because they had books in their hands! We are grateful to the SJPS Foundation for funding this important initiative the last three years!

E.P. Clarke students are eager to start their summer reading!
