Who are we?
The Gull Lake Community Schools Foundation was founded in 1983 by a group of caring, committed members of our community who wanted to find ways to help our schools, teaching staff, and students. Today we are an organization of business people, parents, community leaders, neighbors, and friends. We are from all walks of our community’s life, yet our goal is the same: educational excellence.By working together, we will help bridge the financial gap between equipping our children for their world and the public funding our schools receive. We enable our schools — our teachers, administrators and students — to be the best they can be. |
