Donors, Julie and Rusty Fry, make a difference at Gull Lake Community Schools

12/7/2020

 
We are thankful for the generosity of donors, Julie and Rusty Fry. The Frys recently donated $500 for COVID-19 Relief, which was matched 5x by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, where Julie is a retiree. This donation spurred the GLCS Foundation to create a special fund to provide educators with grants for items, such as online teaching resources and supplies, necessitated by this unpredictable school year. Awards to date have totaled over $5,000 to 30 teachers.

​When asked about their incredible support of the Foundation, Julie said, "We have had three generations go through the Gull Lake Community schools. Both our grandparents moved to the Gull Lake area in the mid 40s. We raised our two daughters here and enjoyed being a part of their sports careers with the school. So it was important to us to continue to support our great school system in any way we can."

 
Thank you Julie and Rusty! We couldn’t do it without you!

November 2020 COVID-19 Relief Grants
This unpredictable school year required a different approach. After consulting with educators, the Foundation quickly adjusted its process to be more flexible and help overcome challenges to providing quality online educational content and delivery.  Already this year, over $5,000 to 30 teachers has been awarded for that purpose.   In return, these lovely thank you notes were received from the Ryan Intermediate staff.

November, 2020 update from Jake: "Last summer I worked for the United States Attorney's Office - Western District of Michigan and had an absolute blast. I do not know for sure what I will be doing next summer, but I am hoping for good news after my interviews with the Department of Justice and Navy Office of General Counsel. 

As far as school goes, MSU Law is great. I am a staff editor for the Michigan State Law Review and a member of the Sutherland First Amendment Moot Court Competition Team. I'm also part of the Michigan Leadership Initiative, a small MSU law cohort that develops leadership abilities in select students."
