On April 6th, the Goodhue Education Foundation will host its annual Spring Auction from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM, featuring a silent auction, live auction, kids’ carnival, and great food. This highly anticipated event is more than just a fundraiser - it’s a celebration of the unwavering support our community provides to Goodhue Public School and its students.
Each day, 57 teachers, 835 students, and numerous staff and volunteers step into our school, working together to overcome challenges, create innovative solutions, and provide unique learning opportunities. Much of this work is supported by the Goodhue Education Foundation, whose generosity continues to enrich our students’ education.
Goodhue is a special place. With Pre-K through 12th grade under one roof, we offer big-school opportunities in a small-school setting, where teachers can truly connect with and impact students every day. But what truly sets us apart is our incredibly supportive community, and the Goodhue Education Foundation is at the heart of this support.
How the Goodhue Education Foundation Makes a Difference
Over the years, the foundation has funded numerous projects that have directly benefited our students and staff, including:
Outdoor Classroom: This hands-on learning space allows students to analyze, experiment, and explore the natural world, bringing science and environmental education to life.
STEM Program Support: With traditional budgets providing less than 80 cents per student per year for STEM education, foundation contributions have been essential in expanding resources and opportunities in this critical area.
First Grade Science Curriculum: Donations enabled the purchase of butterfly habitats and a classroom set of Balance Birds, helping young learners grasp scientific concepts like balance, counterweights, gravity, and stability.
Family and Consumer Science Enhancements: New technology and equipment were funded to keep culinary and early childhood education programs relevant and engaging for students.
Goodhue School Forest: This incredible outdoor space is now thriving thanks to the foundation’s support, providing an immersive, hands-on experience in environmental education.
One of the most appreciated aspects of the Goodhue Education Foundation is its simple and accessible grant application process, which encourages teachers to pursue innovative ideas that enrich students' learning experiences.
