Friends,
My family and I have been invested in Aurora for generations! I’m proud that my entire teaching career took place in Aurora, and the legacy continues today as I now have daughters that teach in Aurora Public Schools. It is so satisfying to be part of this beautiful community.
Additionally, I have been an involved volunteer and supporter of the Aurora Public Schools Foundation for many years. In fact, I contribute monthly to the Foundation, which helps administer The Gerkin Family Expository Writing Scholarship for graduating seniors.
I have seen the impact of the Foundation’s work firsthand and I’d encourage you to consider joining me and others in supporting the APS Foundation through a monthly donation. The Foundation’s impact on our students is invaluable as they help in funding critical programs and in making significant partnerships in the community. A simple $5, $10 or $25 gift can make a big collective impact for APS students.
When you enroll or increase your current contribution, you will receive a travel coffee mug and sticker. Most importantly, you will be further impacting the lives of our students!
Thank you for the meaningful work you do!
Debra E. Gerkin
APS Board of Education President
