A February Full of Heart & Impact 

This February, we are reflecting on what makes our Division so special: you! Your generosity is the heartbeat of our work. At the Edmonton Public Schools Foundation, we’re grateful for the kindness and generosity that surround our students year-round. Thank you for being part of a caring community that helps students feel supported, valued and ready to thrive.

Here’s what some of our Foundation Board members had to say about love and gratitude:

A Note of Gratitude to Our Donors

This Valentine’s Day, we’re sending our love and appreciation to the donors, partners and community members who make our work possible.

Whether you are a long-standing partner like Kingsway Mall or a neighbor hosting a Haunted House fundraiser in Malmo Plains, your kindness creates a ripple effect of change. You ensure that every student feels supported, valued and ready to thrive.

Thank you for choosing to love our schools.

Thank you for Spreading Sweetness: The Cookie Gram Success

Our hearts (and stomachs) are full! This Valentine’s season, teachers and staff across the Division shared the love through our Cookie Gram fundraiser.

With the help of our friends at Confetti Sweets, over 900 treats were delivered to colleagues and friends. Together, this initiative raised over $4,500!

While the numbers are impressive, the true magic lies in the smiles shared between colleagues and the lasting impact on classrooms. The Foundation extends their deepest gratitude to everyone who participated—thank you for leading with your hearts and for helping to support students, one cookie at a time!

February 17 was Random Acts of Kindness Day!

Still looking for a way to keep the love going? A donation can transform a student’s day:

  • $20 can fuel 30 students for a day with fresh fruit.
  • $100 can spark imagination by providing 10 new books for a classroom library.
  • $250 can connect a student in need with a new Chromebook.

At the Edmonton Public Schools Foundation, we see every day how generosity can transform a student’s educational journey. A simple donation can help provide a nutritious snack, a new book or extra support in the classroom, giving students the building blocks they need to thrive.

This Random Acts of Kindness Day, we invite you to continue that tradition of compassion. Every act counts, and your support helps shape a brighter future for students.

Help us continue the momentum: the impact of monthly giving

Every gift makes a difference, but monthly giving creates lasting impact.

When you become a monthly donor, you help consistently support students throughout the year. Your generosity can mean new books, essential technology or mental health resources for students who need them most. Month after month, you are supporting students to have what they need to succeed.
