Rahn elementary Food Drive

Thank you to the Rahn Elementary Student Council and 5th Grade for a great food drive in support of BrainPower!


Patty Green Birthday Fundraiser

It’s no secret that Patty loved kids. As as a dedicated classroom volunteer and scout leader in both Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, she got to know the Burnsville community through the eyes of its most curious and youngest learners. She was passionate about unlocking the secret gifts and talents of every child she met and, over the years, changed the lives of dozens of kids who didn’t have a cheerleader like her at home. She was a faithful advocate for children and ended many heated political conversations with, “can we just agree that no child should go hungry?” She meant it!

thank you for your support

We are pleased to acknowledge our BrainPower in a BackPack Supporters. We appreciate our community's financial support to provide hungry relief for weekend food for District 191 students whose families have encountered financial hardship along with families and community members.  If you would like to help support BrainPower please click on Visit the DONATE  area of our Website to see how you can help with a food or monetary donation.

Because of the generosity of our donors, we are able to send children home with two breakfast meals, two snacks, fresh and packaged fruit, two drinks, and two lunch/dinner meals each week along with providing providing a grocery bag of food twice a month to families and a fresh produce distribution during the summer and fall. We are truly grateful for our contributors! 

For this school year, BrainPower plans to send food home with more than 700 children each week and 100 families twice a week.
