Hear From Our Schools

Karen Pinckney, Assistant Principal - Pinewood Elementary

Partnering with The Jaysmiles Foundation has been a transformative experience for our school this year. Through their generous Fun Grant, we were able to continue our 'Treat Trolley'—a Friday highlight that has significantly boosted student engagement with our digital learning programs. From the seamless application process to the prompt funding, the Foundation’s professionalism is unmatched. Their commitment to our community through the Student, Classroom, and Teacher of the Month programs has truly fostered a culture of excellence and appreciation.
