BUCYRUS – The Bucyrus Elementary School and the Bucyrus Elementary Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) are excited to announce that the PTO has received a $500 grant from the Kohl’s Corporation.
The Kohl’s grant program provides nonprofit organizations with fundraising opportunities. Eligible organizations apply for the fundraiser through the Kohl’s Corporation, providing information on the purpose of the fundraiser and how monies will be used to benefit the non-profit organization’s cause.
“The Kohl’s grant will be used to support the BES Leader in Me program and the Afterschool Program,” said Elementary Afterschool Coordinator Robin Showers. “I am thankful for the support Kohl’s has provided, as well as the guidance from the district’s administration and PTO in applying for the grant.”
Kohl’s Associates-In-Action (AIA), as part of the fundraiser for the PTO, participated in the Afterschool Program’s “Touch A Truck” event during First Friday in Bucyrus on Aug. 4. The Kohl’s associates greeted families attending the event, handed out Bucyrus Elementary School information, event maps and a “Touch A Truck” scavenger hunt activity.
“The Kohl’s volunteers did so much to enhance our ‘Touch A Truck’ event,” said Showers. “They distributed school supplies such as book bags, pencils, stickers, folders and journal books to families who attended the event. It truly was an event that benefited our community thanks to the Kohl’s AIA volunteers.”
The Kohl’s grant will support after-school family engagement nights, community Leader in Me luncheons, family movie nights and family literacy nights as well.
“I want to thank Robin Showers for her work in bringing this grant opportunity to our district,” said Superintendent Kevin Kimmel. “I appreciate the financial support, as well as the volunteers’ time, that Kohl’s and their Associates-In-Action team provided for our First Friday event. It’s this kind of support that helps our students reach their maximum potential for success.”
