The Foundation for Seminole County Public Schools has received a generous donation of $25,000 from the 7th Annual Sanford Porchfest! This significant contribution is set to make a lasting impact by supporting various Foundation art initiatives that will benefit our students, teachers, and high school seniors.
Reinvesting in the Future of Local Arts
The proceeds from Sanford Porchfest will be reinvested into our community, fueling the creativity and artistic potential of Seminole County’s youth. These funds will specifically support three key initiatives:
- Philharmonic Field Trip for Fifth Graders
This fall, all fifth-grade students in Seminole County will have the opportunity to experience the wonder of a district-wide Philharmonic field trip. This immersive experience will introduce students to the world of orchestral music. - Grants for Great Ideas: Mini-Grants for Teachers
Through our Grants for Great Ideas program, educators will have the resources they need to foster artistic expression and innovation in the classroom. Teachers will receive mini-grants to bring their most creative, hands-on art projects to life. - Florida Prepaid Foundation 2-Year Jump Start Scholarships
Six SCPS seniors planning to major in the Arts will be awarded Florida Prepaid Foundation 2-year Jump Start scholarships. These scholarships will provide crucial financial support as these talented students embark on their journey toward a career in the arts.
A Heartfelt Thank You to Sanford Porchfest
We extend our deepest gratitude to Sanford Porchfest for their unwavering commitment to the arts and their generous support of our community. Their donation will not only enrich the lives of our students and teachers but also ensure that the arts continue to thrive in Seminole County for generations to come.
