The 26th Annual Autumn Breakfast held on November 3 at the Embassy Suites Olathe was a tremendous success, thanks to the support of local businesses and partners who celebrated our achievements as shared by Superintendent Dr. Brent Yeager in his State of the District Address.

The more than $230,000 raised will significantly and positively impact the lives of our students and the staff who work tirelessly to support them. With these funds, the Olathe Public Schools Foundation brings innovation to the classroom, and provides essential classroom materials for educators. In addition, the Foundation offers rent assistance, weekend meals, and life-saving medicines such as EPI pens and rescue inhalers for our most vulnerable students. Attendees and sponsors of this event are instrumental in improving the lives of others, and their partnership in our mission to connect these vital resources with the Olathe Public Schools community is deeply appreciated.

Our emcee for the morning was our very own Fox 4 reporter and Olathe resident, Matt Stewart. Guests enjoyed two stellar performances from the district wide cast of Frozen: The Broadway Musical. Funding from the Olathe Public Schools Foundation and the OPSF Women’s Giving Circle played a critical role in bringing this opportunity districtwide to Olathe students.

With the record proceeds from the event, the Foundation FLASH FUNDED more than $20,000 in grants on the DonorsChoose.org platform. Across the Olathe district, teachers received e-mail notifications that their projects had been funded and materials are on the way! 

The Annual OPSF Autumn Breakfast continues to gather the very best support from area businesses, representatives of our city and county governments, higher education, retired staff, and engaged community members who celebrate the great things that happen in our Olathe schools.

The board and staff of the Olathe Public Schools Foundation shares their deepest gratitude for this support.
