Chatham Education Foundation

We are so excited to welcome Heather to our growing team! She is already bringing ideas that will have a big impact on our Chatham kids! https://lnkd.in/dz27wJFX

During this season of giving, we hope you'll remember the students of Chatham County Schools and consider a gift to the Chatham Education Foundation. CEF provides funds for critical programs like AVID. “With AVID, I was able to establish a strong presence that made me a distinctive college applicant,” Emmanuel said. “Along with connecting me with other like-minded students, AVID gave me access to a wealth of resources that let me pave the road for a brighter future–including scholarships, programs and much more.” – Emmanuel Hernandez, Jordan-Matthews High School ’24 Read more about Emmanuel at our website.

Today the Chatham Education Foundation staff and board members had a great opportunity to learn about our #AVID national demonstration school - Chatham Central High School. We heard from school leadership about how the magic happens, saw the many many college acceptances, and spoke to students like Pacey (final photo). No one anywhere in her family tree has gone to college and she's already been accepted to three! She's waiting to hear back from a couple more before she makes her final decision about where she wants to study pre-law. She plans to be a prosecuting attorney. ???????????? Thank you to Chatham County Schools for supporting this incredible program across the district and to all the CEF donors who make it possible! #OneChatham #BearDown

Thank you to the Chatham Chamber of Commerce for highlighting our schools at this morning's #StateOfChatham event and to Chris Poston, Executive Director of Excellence and Opportunity at Chatham County Schools for making sense of the data and being such a champion for our students and teachers ???? #OneChatham

“My parents modeled the behaviors they wanted to instill in their children,” Charlie said. “And when we moved to Chatham County in 2014, we knew we wanted to do something for the local school system. Superintendent Dr. Anthony Jackson convinced us that AVID met our criteria.” We are humbled by and grateful for this gift from Charlie and Renee, supporting such an impactful program. #AVID Chatham County Schools #philanthropy https://lnkd.in/ewZtiE_z

We are grateful for the support of RTI International. This grant will help us expand tutoring programs for our #AVID students. #OneChatham Chatham County Schools https://lnkd.in/eqrjnvKQ

Research shows that the number one way to improve the reading achievement of children from low-income homes is to increase their access to print. Chatham Reads, a program of the Chatham Education Foundation and Chatham County Schools, is all about getting books into the hands of children of all ages. #readtoachieve #ChathamReads #backtoschool #literacy #OneChatham Campaign for Grade-Level Reading ??

Welcome back teachers and staff of Chatham County Schools!! Thank you to our community of friends and donors helping make sure they have all they need for #backtoschool2024! ??????????????????

Thank you to the Women of Fearrington for helping us expand our work! "The added benefit of giving away books at the Nature Trail is that the children live in a close-knit community and will be able to share books over the summer. Suddenly the five books they selected become 10, 15 or 20!" #TheNatureTrail #bookaccess #summerreading #bilingualeducation #bilingualkids Chatham County Schools #FearringtonVillage https://buff.ly/46tMmfB
