East Grand Rapids Schools Foundation logo

As we look forward to high school graduation May 22 and the Middle School Promotion Assembly and the last day of school May 30, we decided to do some math. 

In their time in East Grand Rapids Public Schools since they were in kindergarten, the Foundation, thanks to our donors, has contributed:

  • More than $2.8 million to the education of this year’s 5th graders
  • Almost $4 million to this year’s 8th graders
  • And more than $5.5 million to this year’s high school seniors

Thank you all for contributing to the Foundation and supporting our students, our schools, and our community! Together, we provide opportunity!
