Children offer such a sense of hope for the future. Through the eyes of a child, we can see the world around us in a brighter light. Our students are why our organization matters. The financial assistance The Learning Academy of Teton Valley is offered through the generosity of donors through The Community Foundation’s Tin Cup Challenge matter to us for so many reasons…
The Opportunity…
Educating the whole child means focusing on each piece of what makes our students unique individuals. Their interests, friendships, interactions with adults, opinions, talents, strengths and difficulties in learning are all part of the education we offer at The Learning Academy. Some students need to be with us because they have struggled to achieve in another setting, some because their learning trajectory has set them on a different course. Other families have endured tremendous hardship. Whatever the reason, offering scholarships and financial aid to Teton Valley families so that their students may attend our school is one of the most important uses of our funding from the Tin Cup Challenge.
Curriculum, Supplies, Space to Learn and Create…
All are vital in developing a learning space that suits student needs and allows them to achieve their best in a comfortable, safe environment. The fact that the Community Foundation allows such a broad use of funds gives The Learning Academy the chance to use our Tin Cup funding in a flexible way, offering as many learning tools and opportunities as these funds can create.
We have deep gratitude for our valley and the people who live in it. The Community Foundation is a shining example of the generosity and sense of community that has been cultivated here. The Learning Academy thanks each donor and each person who works for and with the Community Foundation of Teton Valley. We will continue to share these values with our students so that they may be the next generation of givers and doers.
