With the Elkhorn Public School District being the fastest growing district in the state, the Foundation’s Elkhorn Kids Campus program projects continued growth and demand for high-quality childcare for Elkhorn students. The Elkhorn Kids Campus program currently provides before and after school care for over 1,100 elementary-aged students at 12 elementary sites. In recent years, the Foundation has seen incredible growth in new scholarship offerings, added new fundraising events, and created a formalized alumni program.
“We continue to work hard to fulfill our mission and support the Elkhorn Public Schools and the Elkhorn community. One of the many long term goals of the Foundation has been to own its own office space, eliminate rental expenses, and create a long lasting ‘footprint’ within the Elkhorn community. It’s exciting to take this next big step!” shared Stacey Falk, Executive Director of the Foundation.
