"There is no easy way
to create a world where all children receive as much education as
their minds can absorb. But if such a world can be created in
our lifetime, it will be done by people of good will.
"
~The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
NEF Partners with Groupon and
Amazon
The Nixa Education Foundation (NEF) has been
chosen to be among the first to participate in an exciting new
program that will generate money for our schools - the "Create
Excitement for Public Schools
Initiative."
Through this
initiative, NEF is partnering with a nonprofit (Create Excitement)
to give back when you shop through Amazon, Groupon, and other great
companies (which offer incredible deals and is an easy way to
discover the city around you at a great price). By
doing nothing more than redirecting your online buying, you can
help raise money for our schools:
1. Register by clicking HERE: Create Excitement. Once you
register you will receive a daily email with the Groupon deal of
the day and the links to Amazon. These companies will also offer
premier deals specifically for the Nixa Public Schools and periodic
specials so check your email every day.
2. If you already have a Groupon account,
please note that it is important that you buy through this link
rather than the one that you are currently receiving directly from
Groupon. The deals are the same, but the Foundation only benefits
if you click through the Nixa Education Foundation
email.
The
Foundation will receive a portion of the proceeds based on the
amount of purchases by our supporters. We can increase this amount
tremendously if you forward this email to everyone you know and ask
them to register. They will automatically receive the Groupon for
their area of the country and the Foundation will receive a
percentage of their sales. Please send it to all of your friends on
Facebook.
Schools are at the heart of every community, and community is at
the heart of every school. This is especially true in Nixa. For
generations the community and schools have served one another
remarkably well. The Nixa Education Foundation has been established
to ensure this relationship continues to thrive for the many
generations of eagles to come.
The foundation truly is an
investment- it is an organization formed exclusively for the
purpose of generating financial resources to meet the needs of Nixa
Public School's students, faculty, and organizations. The Nixa
Education Foundation secures financial resources to support quality
education through innovative programs, creative opportunities, and
imaginative approaches. These programs enrich the curriculum,
inspire students and staff, and expand the community's involvement
in public education. Teachers throughout the district can apply to
the NEF for grants, which are awarded by the board of directors
based on need and value to the community educational vision. In
this way, the NEF is a long-term, community supported solution for
the varied short-term financial needs of Nixa's classrooms and
curriculum.
Please explore the site to learn
how grants from the NEF have already helped the schools of Nixa and
how you can become a donor.
