Testimonial
"We are beyond grateful for community stakeholders who understand the importance of contributions and donations that help reinforce the progress we are working to achieve in the district. We truly thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity to our schools."
"The F&P guided reading books will be used for years to come. They will make such a positive impact for our students! Thank you for your generosity!"
"Thank you so much for the Chaffee Family Foundation’s support of our virtual STEM programming during a particularly challenging school year. With your support, we served over 2,500 students from Title I schools with virtual field trip experiences."
"Thank you to the donor who made our field trip and Big Science Show possible. The Science Center field trip for 3rd graders has become a tradition for our students. In fact, last year our trip was just weeks before the world shut down. You made the 3rd grade class so happy that they were not 'skipped' for this year."
"Dear Chaffee foundation, thank you for getting us the books. You were so kind. You are really nice. They are so helpful. The books help us read and learn. We want to be authors like the ones who wrote the books! Have a good day."
