"The LIFT Grant allowed my school the opportunity to purchase robots and we are so excited to start our coding journey. With each lesson, students are able to connect with coding elements (vocab, sequencing, coding careers) in a much more personalized manner. I can not thank you enough for providing us with this amazing experience and for all of your support."

"UCEF is incredibly helpful to schools and students. My school has benefitted greatly from grants, allowing us to create outdoor classroom opportunities and STEM equipment to enhance learning. My family also benefitted personally when my daughter applied for, and earned, a scholarship through the foundation to pursue a teaching degree. We are incredibly grateful for all that UCEF does for Union County students."

"SVHS is very honored and grateful to be a recipient of one of the 2023 GROW Grants. Our school is excited about constructing our new outdoor classroom and appreciate the funding to make it a reality. Union County Education Foundation has such a positive impact on our community. Thanks again!"

"The Union County Education Foundation enabled my school to open a Brain Exercise Lab. In it students can enjoy many different ways to exercise and process all of the great things they have learned in their classrooms. Without this grant, our students would not be able to have this room. Thank you Union County Education Foundation for helping meet the needs of the whole child!"

"The UC Educational Foundation does a fantastic job of supporting our teachers who grow and fuel the young minds of our future. The foundation's outreach to the community is essential to bridge the gap in funding needs so the schools can provide a wider array of educational possibilities. Executive Director, Amy Sperry, has done a fabulous job connecting the board, teachers, administration and community together so we all know the great things happening when we collaborate for the sake of our children."
