We’re excited to share that Crocs, the Broomfield-based maker of innovative casual footwear, has committed to providing a new pair of Crocs shoes to every student, educator and staff member within the Boulder Valley School District.

The outpouring of support from the community is uplifting to see, and we’re incredibly grateful to the 800 donors that helped us raise $500,000. The funds will directly support the immediate needs, long-term recovery, and mental health of BVSD students and staff.

So far we’ve raised over $200,000 from over 400 supporters through our Critical Needs Fund. These dollars are already being deployed to fund the distribution of backpacks, headphones and school supplies to nearly 600 students at 22 affected schools in BVSD.

Students and educators need mental health support, targeted tutoring, and access to academic opportunities. Here’s a look at how we invested in public education this year.

This program will provide low-income BVSD high school students with workforce readiness skills, training, and leadership development to help prepare them for post-secondary success.

From school-based tutoring to RTD bus passes to an online math software, our Academic Opportunity Fund provided $100K in grants to meet Boulder Valley School District student needs this fall.

Attendees gained a deeper understanding of the School District’s strategic direction, the role of Impact on Education and the ways that other parent groups are supporting their schools.

BVSD School After Care supervisory staff will receive six hours of professional development in Calming Kids Mindfulness and Yoga to help them manage student mental health needs and their own.

From the beginning of the pandemic we knew the disruption to student learning would be disproportionate and could have a profound impact on the long-term success of students.
