Panther Foundation

The check is BIG; the impact is even BIGGER!

Panther Foundation board members were to deliver this BIG CHECK to the June School Board meeting. This symbolic check for more than $133,000 (!!) represents the total amount granted across 23 projects in the Spring Lake Park Schools community this school year. (And we have one more board meeting next week, so we'll probably be able to add to this year's total...yippee!)

Panther Foundation grants touched every corner of the district this year, thanks to your generous support. A few highlights included:

- $25,000 towards replacing the Grand Piano in the Fine Arts Center (and special thanks to the Spring Lake Park Lions Club #00584 for their contribution to this project too!)
- Milestone Moments t-shirts for students in K, 5th & 9th grade to welcome them to their new schools.
- Go Panthers! We proudly funded "fan buses" for State Championship games for Football and Girls Hockey.
- Senior Signs for the 7th year, boosting awareness and community pride. This year SLP celebrated its largest graduating class to date, with 500+ students in the Class of 2026.

At our April board meeting, the Panther Foundation awarded more than $42k in grants across the Spring Lake Park Schools community.

We're -ly supporting Destination Imagination, DECA and HOSA students competing in international competitions; funding summer programs and enrichments for students in need of extra supports; honoring American Indian Education Powwow dancers; purchasing playground stencils to add fun outdoor recess options district-wide; and even helping secure a new grand piano for the Fine Arts Center. Whew, that's a lot of Panther Pride for just one board meeting!

We're so grateful for our Panther community; after all, it's your support that turns these hopes and dreams into real-life experiences.

And, we love hearing about projects in our SLP community in need of financial support. Got an idea? Email us at [email protected] to get the conversation started.
