LEAF Receives $10,000 to Support Students Experiencing Homelessness.
The District 742 Local Education & Activities Foundation (LEAF) announced that it has received two $5,000 grants in support of District 742 homeless youth and their families. The grants have been made through the support of the Central Minnesota Community Foundation COVID-19 Response Fund and from the United Way of Central Minnesota COVID Relief Fund.
This year, future problem solvers across the state of Minnesota rallied to make their competition happen! Their competition topic this year was LIVING IN POVERTY.
LEAF SUPPORTS HOMELESS STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES
Every day, homeless students face the daunting task of trying to focus on a quality education while worrying about the basic needs like reliable source of food, clothing and shelter.
Since 2014, LEAF has been supporting District 742 students facing homelessness through our Homeless Student Services Fund. The need is even greater during the COVID-19 pandemic. Can you help us help students in need?
The 2020 LEAF Night of the Stars performances included group, duo and individual performances – even magic! From classical piano and violin solos to Doo-Wop, from elementary to senior high acts our District 742 students showed their talents on the state at the Paramount Theatre.
