Connecting financial and volunteer resources to the Olathe District Schools to recognize and enhance educational excellence.
The Olathe Public Schools Foundation, founded in 1997, is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization providing grants, scholarships and recognitions for the teachers and students of the Olathe School District. The Foundation brings students, parents, alumni, small businesses and corporations together to create opportunities to support continued excellence in Olathe schools. The Foundation works to build supportive relationships between our schools and the business community through many cooperative events and programs.
Olathe students benefit when their teachers apply for OPSF classroom grants. Their innovative ideas pave the way for learning excellence. Teachers identify ways they can help students learn and grow including helping elementary students understand math concepts, DNA testing materials for middle school students, opportunities for high school artists to work with new materials, and indoor farming supplies, incorporating traditional embroidery with modern digital photography, exploring cardio drumming as a form of exercise.
With 1 in 3 students in Olathe living at or below the poverty line, the Olathe Public Schools Foundation focuses significant efforts on supporting their unique needs. Through the following funds, the OPSF ensures that every student has what they need to be in class, ready to learn: Student Health Emergency Fund, Student Care Fund, School Supply Drive/Backpack Program, Homeless Outreach Fund, Families in Need (meals) Fund, BackSnack Food Program (weekend meals), and College Now (credit earned while still in high school) Scholarships through the A.L.L. Fund.
Students in the Medical Professions Academy and the Sports Medicine and Exercise Science Academy (housed at Olathe North High School) are able to experience hands-on virtual learning with a new Anatomage Table. The virtual dissection table was purchased through grants from the Barton P. and Mary D. Cohen Charitable Trust and the Olathe Public Schools Foundation. The Anatomage Table provides students a life-like cadaver learning experience. Anatomy is presented as a fully interactive, life-sized touch screen experience.
