In Kearney School District, we understand that it takes a community-wide effort to provide the support our students and families need to thrive. Our staff members are grateful for the many ways our stakeholders go above and beyond on behalf of our students. That's the drive for our Team KSD Pay-It-Forward Campaign. This is an opportunity for KSD employees to donate directly to the Kearney School District Education Foundation with designated payroll deductions. Our foundation provides extraordinary services and support in a variety of ways that complement what we already do in KSD. Together, we create a network of support that benefits our entire school system.
As educators, we know the impact small acts of generosity can have on our students, our classrooms, and our community. That's why we. invite you to join the Pay It Forward program through automatic payroll deductions. By contributing to the KSD Education Foundation (KSDEF), you're investing directly in the success of our district—benefiting yourself, your fellow teachers, and Kearney students. Every dollar stays here in KSD, funding scholarships and grants that make a difference in our schools.
Your donations benefit KSD staff and students through programs like the Pay It Forward Scholarship, Classroom Grants, and New to Teaching Grants. Starting this year, the foundation is sponsoring the Teacher Internship Real World Learning program at KHS, growing future public educators among our Bulldogs! Every little bit helps; whether it's $5 or $20 per month, your contribution makes a tangible impact.
$5/month → 10 comfort wear coupons (hello, joggers and jeans), KSDEF Post-its + pen, and a chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card
$10/month → Everything above plus a KSDEF t-shirt (you know you want it!)
$20/month → Everything above plus a $25 Amazon gift card
Bonus: The building with the most new sign-ups gets coffee and donuts or muffins on us!
You can also give via credit card, PayPal, Venmo, or check. Visit the KSDEF donation site, pick the amount you wish to give, select "Pay It Forward," and choose your preferred method.
