Town of Fishers is “UN”selfie in support of local schools
Mayor Elect, Scott Fadness champions HSE schools!
Fishers, Indiana will proclaim the first Tuesday following Thanksgiving, also known as #GivingTuesday, as Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation Day. This day of giving pairs community based philanthropy with local education to have a powerful impact on students, teachers, and schools.
Leaders with the Town of Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern Schools District have long worked in partnership to best serve the community. Foundation President, Kristi Lowell, comments “We are fortunate to not only live in an area that values education, but also to have leaders who understand the impact strong schools have on economic development, property values and crime rates.”
The specific statements of the proclamation are expected to include:
- WHEREAS, The Town of Fishers recognizes the importance of excellent education institutions available to the children in our community; and,
- WHEREAS, public schools are the linchpin, bringing together adults and children, educators and volunteers, business leaders and elected officials in a common enterprise; and
- WHEREAS, by equipping youth with practical skills and intellectual abilities, schools give them hope for, and access to a productive future for themselves and for our community; and
- WHEREAS, education employees, be they substitute educators, custodians, teachers, bus drivers, librarians, food service or administrators, work tirelessly to serve our children and communities; and
- WHEREAS, the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation supports all of the above by enhancing educational opportunities, inspiring excellence and engaging the community to foster a legacy of achievement.
