WHY DONATE?

Our greatest needs throughout Cobb Schools center around family stabilization, learning interventions, and scholarships for students and teachers. Every student arrives at our schools each day with personal experiences that impact what they already know and do. With community support we can support every student’s journey towards success.

K-5 students are in need of after-school care. For just $10 per day, no other childcare options are more affordable or consistent to a child’s care than that provided at their own school. Decades of research show that the stability of after-school programs help kids learn, grow, and make smart choices, while giving parents the opportunity to work longer hours or more traditional hours.

Dr. Elliott’s family and friends would like to leave a legacy in the field that Kathie loved so dearly. This fund is being established to provide financial assistance to educators who aspire to educational leadership positions. To create longevity, a goal of $25,000, so this scholarship will continue in her memory.

Parents and school leaders are passionate about where their students attend school and often want to support the needs of a local school. Each school principal may choose to share giving opportunities with the families that attend their school and contributions will go directly to support that school – these are Designated Local School Funds. Our greatest needs throughout Cobb Schools center around advancing student potential by preparing them for post-secondary education or careers, providing learning interventions, and supporting family stabilization efforts.

Over $500,000 in scholarships has been awarded to high school seniors since 1999. These scholarships are possible due to the generosity of numerous businesses and members of the community who wish to give back to the school district through a scholarship fund.
