Every day, you make a difference simply through the choice you’ve made to serve children--investing your talents in creating the best learning environment possible for our children. For that, we thank you.

We respectfully ask that you consider taking your investment in their future one small step further, with a contribution to the Olathe Public Schools Foundation through the Annual OPSF Staff Campaign—Payroll Deduct.

It’s simple, really. Consider making a contribution of at least $5 per pay period, for eight weeks beginning mid-September. For about the price of a case of pop, you can help the Foundation touch the lives of our students, our teachers, and our community.

It’s your choice. You choose how you want your contribution split between three options.

1. Wimmer Student Care Fund: Help Dr. All reach the district’s most vulnerable students by providing funding for the emergency needs of students and their families to get them back in school and ready to learn.
2. Grow Our Own: This fund provides scholarships for aspiring teachers (youth or employees) who pledge to return to Olathe to start their teaching careers, and who plan to teach hard-to-fill content areas.
3. Unrestricted Donation: An unrestricted gift to the OPSF supports summer school scholarships, mini-grants, Educator Excellence Awards and other programs.

The Staff Campaign runs April - May 2010 for a Fall 2010 deduction.

For more information on how you can make a tax-deductible donation through Payroll Deduct or through a one-time donation, contact foundation@olatheschools.com or call 780-8222.
