District 88 Foundation Activities and Projects

School District 88 utilizes philanthropic dollars from the PIE Foundation to prepare the community’s young adults for success in high school and beyond. Funds raised from donations, individual gifts and inter-school events such as a 3-on-3 basketball tournament have made opportunities like the following possible:

• Support the Addison Trail Freshmen Future Focus Initiative Trip to University of Wisconsin-Madison
• Support the Mindprints Literary Magazine at Willowbrook
• Subsidize Advanced Placement (AP)/college-level tests for students
• Provide financial support for textbooks and summer camps

Additionally, they are able to provide mini-grants for staff to develop enhanced instructional opportunities that benefit students, such as the following:

• Providing Kindles, iPads and other electronic devices to enhance learning for students
• Rewarding students who exemplify positive behavior with a field trip to Six Flags Great America
