Happy Foundation Appreciation Day!

Today, we’re celebrating 21 years of the NAFC Education Foundation supporting students and educators across New Albany Floyd County Consolidated School Corporation.

To mark the day, cookies are being delivered to every NAFCS school and work location as a small thank-you to the teachers, staff, and administrators who do so much for our students and our community.

A special thank-you to the amazing NAFCS Food Services/Culinary team for making today’s treats!

Thank you for allowing us to be your partner in supporting NAFCS students and educators for the past 21 years. 💙

Happy Dolly Day! Today, September 25, is a playful nod to 9 to 5 and a chance to celebrate everything Dolly Parton's Imagination Library stands for: helping every child Dream More, Learn More, Care More, and Be More.

Today we want to hear from you. Share a photo of your child enjoying their Dolly Parton's Imagination Library book, or tell us in the comments why reading together matters to your family.

Join us tomorrow in celebration of Dolly and her legacy of the Imagination Library!

We hope you’ll join us tomorrow, 9/25, on Dolly Parton Day, as a portion of all of our sales for the day will be donated to the Floyd County chapter of her Imagination Library.

Ice Cream, Books, and Dolly Parton, all great reasons to smile. 🩷

This month, Sherri McKeen, had a chance to connect with each of our New Albany Floyd County Consolidated School Corporation high school athletic directors for our September Legacy Ledger issue. It is definitely worth checking out!

The September Legacy Ledger is in your inbox this morning! 📬

This month we're catching up with two 1991 NAHS grads, Shawn Garmon and Matt Brown, friends since elementary school who now lead our two NAFCS high school athletic programs. It is a must-read edition.

Plus, check out all the details on the upcoming Blessings in a Backpack 5K & 1M Fun Run on October 24th.

$66,546 invested in student mental health. 💜

In 2026, the NAFC Education Foundation awarded funding for 40 Mental Health Grants supporting students and educators across New Albany Floyd County Schools.

These grants are helping schools create supportive environments, strengthen student connection and belonging, and provide resources that address the mental health needs educators are seeing every day.

Thank you to the educators who brought forward thoughtful ideas and to the donors who make this funding possible.

Another $47,924 in Great Classroom Grants hit NAFC classrooms this September, funding 65 projects at 15 schools! From speech therapy tools and CPR supplies to math manipulatives and expanding classroom libraries, these grants are putting resources directly in the hands of New Albany Floyd County Consolidated School Corporation teachers and students.

Thank you to our donors for making it happen. That brings our total for the 2026-27 school year to more than $102,700 so far!

🍎Thank you to our Give for Good Louisville donors!

Thanks to our community, the NAFC Education Foundation raised $23,245 during Give for Good Louisville, surpassing our $20,000 goal.

That total includes $13,245 given by 49 generous donors, plus $10,000 in matching funds from our two Matching Gift Partners, First Merchants and a generous anonymous donor. Their support doubled the impact of every dollar given that day.

Maybe the best part: 17 donors gave to the NAFC Education Foundation for the first time. Welcome to the family. We're so glad you're here.

These gifts support Great Classroom Grants, Mental Health Grants, Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, Blessings in a Backpack, and First Year Teacher Gifts throughout the year.

Thank you to everyone who gave, shared, and supported NAFC students and teachers.
