Representatives of the Mount Pleasant ISD School Foundation presented a check for $24,595.36 to the Mount Pleasant ISD School Board at last night’s regular MPISD School Board Meeting.  The monies will be used to fund the 23 grants the Foundation will award to District teachers on May 6.

The Mt. Pleasant ISD Foundation will participate in East Texas Giving Day on Tuesday, May 3.

“The funds that we use to award the grants comes mainly from district employees who donate to the Foundation monthly,” said Foundation Executive Director Dr. Judith Saxton. “We also have received donations from area businesses and individuals. We are extremely thankful for all those who have seen our vision and have been willing to financially support us. East Texas Giving Day will allow even more folks the opportunity to give to the Foundation. To find out more about the Mt. Pleasant ISD Foundation I’d invite folks to visit www.mpisdfoundation.org or to give me a call at 903-575-2000. To donate to the Foundation, folks can go www.mpisdfoundation.org/give .”
