Over the last six years, the Sikeston Public Schools Foundation has funded over $150,000 in classroom teaching grants. In addition to funding classroom grants, the Foundation financially supports other educational opportunities such as the Junior Class ACT Exam, scholarships for young women to attend Missouri Girls State, and a yearly trip to the St. Louis Symphony for our senior music students.

This year, our fundraising abilities have been greatly impacted by Covid-19 due to our inability to host in-person events, such as our 2020 Homecoming Tailgate. However, the Foundation’s dedication to our students, teachers, and community is as strong as ever.
On behalf of the Foundation, I am asking you to please consider making a monetary gift to our nonprofit organization to ensure that we are able to continue funding educational opportunities for SPS students. Your donation will make a difference in the education of our students. The Foundation exists solely on the generosity of our patrons. We are extremely thankful for all of the financial support that we receive from individuals, educators, and local businesses.
