Macomb Educational Foundation

Macomb Educational Foundation Since 1992, the Macomb Educational Foundation has supported the children and educators of WHY SUPPORT AN EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION?

A sound education for our young persons remains one of the most important investments we can make in our community, our nation, and our future. Providing our children with a sound, well-balanced education helps ensure the type of work force we want to employ, the caliber of leadership we must have for success, and the level of committed citizens we need for tomorrow. A good education today is expe

nsive. Many worthwhile projects and programs fall through the funding cracks of our educational system. The Macomb Community Unit School District #185 Educational Foundation was created to help fill some of those cracks. The idea for the Foundation came from a 1992 panel of concerned Macomb citizens interested in the success of our school system. Established as a non-profit corporation (501c3) in 1992, the MACOMB EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION seeks to raise and distribute funding for educational opportunities which otherwise might not be experienced because of budgetary constraints.

Mrs. Coupland (2nd Grade) and the Lincoln Staff are thrilled to receive an MEF grant for the sensory room. "The MEF is making make our sensory room even more amazing, and thanks to them, our teachers feel continued support for educational activities and materials that could not be provided by other sources of funding! They truly are AMAZING and deserve this recognition!" The Sensory Room upgrade included a bubble wall water fountain, bubble fish light tube, liquid floor tiles, balance beam, and squeeze seat. This makes the sensory room an inviting place when students need a little break.

We are so incredibly thankful to the Macomb Education Foundation for their generous support of our classroom! 💙
Because of your kindness, our students now have new sensory and classroom organization items that will make a meaningful difference in their daily learning experience. From tools that help with focus and regulation to materials that keep our supplies organized and accessible, every item will be put to great use.

Your investment in our classroom is truly an investment in our students. We are grateful for your continued commitment to supporting teachers and creating positive learning environments. Thank you for helping us make our classroom an even better place to learn and grow! 🍎✨

Mrs. Larid, Mrs. Doll, and their students from Macomb Middle School, are very excited about their new podium. When the old one broke, they were all sad. The new one is even better.

Two of their students put it together in Science class as an engineering lesson. Thank you boys. You did a great job. They learned skills on how to read instructions and use the provided tools.

The students love presenting their work on the new podium.
