The Foundation is:
- a tax-exempt, non-profit corporation chartered in 1987
- managed by a Board of Trustees consisting of dedicated school district residents
- operated independently from, but in cooperation with, the Davenport Community School District
- actively involved in raising funds from private and corporate sources which support scholarships and enrichment programs throughout the District.
Tribute to Teachers
“Teachers teach because they care. Teaching young
people is what they do best. It requires long hours, patience, and
care.” – Horace Mann
A Tribute to Teachers is a new initiative of the Davenport Schools
Foundation to give alumni, families and friends the opportunity to
honor that special educator (past or present) of the Davenport
Community Schools. A tribute can be made to honor any teacher,
principal, coach - any educator who made a difference in their
lives!
By making a tax-deductible gift to the Davenport
Schools Foundation through the Tribute to Teachers program
(suggested minimum of $25 per teacher), donors will not only be
helping students in the district, but will also be letting those
teachers who impacted their lives know exactly what the teacher
means to the donor.
For each tribute received, the Foundation will
present the honoree with a special bookmark and a letter of
appreciation with a copy of the note enclosed. The tributes will be
distributed during Teacher Appreciation Week (held each year in May). Original notes will be compiled and kept in the Davenport
School Museum.
For more information on the Tribute to Teachers or
to make a tribute, download the brochure below! Tributes received by
April 20 will be distributed during Teacher Appreciation Week this
May!
