The Olathe Public Schools Foundation is proud to introduce Erin Vader, our new Board President, a passionate community leader who has dedicated years of service to Olathe students, families, and educators.

We are excited to welcome our newest members to the Olathe Public Schools Foundation Board!

These incredible leaders bring passion, expertise, and a heart for supporting Olathe students, teachers, and families. We’re grateful for their commitment to making a difference in our schools and community.

We celebrated our BRAND NEW to the district teachers at KCWine Co. We were so excited to see the new faces and provide a space for them to unwind, hang out with other new teachers, meet administrators, taste some great local food trucks, and win a few great prizes! A fun and energizing way to start the new school year! 

Green Springs Elementary students are starting their NASA resumes early with robotics and coding activities related to NASA missions. These materials are provided through an Olathe Public Schools Foundation grant.

"We hope to integrate the hands-on learning of coding and robotics with real-world disciplines across various categories," said Green Springs Elementary Quest Teacher Genia Deets.

Historically, students with disabilities have had less favorable post-graduate outcomes than their general education peers. This includes their employment status, ability to live independently, and post-secondary education opportunities. The new Olathe Northwest High School Raven Roastery offers students with disabilities the opportunity to develop essential job skills in a supported environment. 

At Oregon Trail Middle School, over 200 8^th grade students are learning science concepts by exploring the Kansas River Watershed with visits to Oregon Trail Pond and Lake Olathe. A group of students visited the Olathe wastewater treatment plant and recorded back on their findings through pictures, video and water sampling.
