Starting Friday, February 14, 2025, educators, parents, alumni, students, and the greater community can participate in the Foundation for Orange County Public Schools’ “Take the $1 Pledge” campaign. Funds raised will support initiatives and programs that invest in OCPS student potential focused on literacy enrichment, access to STEM and the arts, professional development for teachers and school-based staff, college and career readiness efforts, scholarships, and the development of key partnerships.
The campaign will run through the inaugural Give Education Day on March 5, 2025. This day of giving was created to support K-12 schools, districts, and education foundations energizing community champions to build strong neighborhoods, workforces, and communities.
This year, 207,000 students are enrolled at OCPS. That’s 207,000 opportunities to provide enriched education that will fortify their futures.
As a community, let’s create ripples of impact that will last for generations!
