The Foundation for Seminole County Public Schools has received a generous donation of $25,000 from the 7^th Annual Sanford Porchfest! This significant contribution is set to make a lasting impact by supporting 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:

1. Young People’s Concert Field Trip for Fifth Graders
   This fall, all fifth-grade students in Seminole County will have the opportunity to experience the wonder of orchestral music, opera, and ballet at the Dr. Phillips Center.
2. Grants for Great Ideas: Mini-Grants for Teachers
   Through this 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.
3. 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.
