End of Year Giving

What a year! 2020 has presented all of us with unprecedented challenges, but what has remained a constant is this community’s support of our students, teachers and The Lion Foundation. In 2020, despite its challenges, we  funded more than $140,000 in programs and projects benefiting Camp Hill School District students that otherwise would not have been funded!

Thanks to your support, the Lion Foundation funded vital technology, safety and educational needs that helped make the district’s transition to remote learning possible. On behalf of the children of Camp Hill, we thank you for your support.

2020 grants:
  • Student Chromebooks and carrying cases
  • K-12 Seesaw Plus Learning Management Program
  • 1st & 2nd grade Reading Academy Literacy Footprints Digital Reader Program
  • K-12 Kami Digital Reader Program
  • Additional outdoor picnic tables for the middle and high school
  • Additional cafeteria tables for Hoover elementary and the middle and high schools.

But our work can’t stop there. With ever-changing needs as our students and teachers continue to navigate this new way of learning, our unfunded “wish list” this winter already includes:
  • USB Instructional Microphones for teachers to use during remote learning.  $1,650 
  • Digital Tablets for middle and high school math teachers to enable them to write out math problems during digital learning sessions. $4,400
  • Classroom document cameras for online and in-class instructional use by teachers. $1,100
  • 3rd grade Wiggle Chairs to help students that struggle with sitting still and staying focused during the school day.  $484
  • Additional hands-on science materials for the 5th grade science program allowing for use in a COVID safe manner. $743 
  • 6th grade online Spelling City program for both hybrid and online learners. $278
While we understand you will have many requests this time of year for your charitable dollar, we ask that you consider a gift to The Lion Foundation. In return, we will assure your donation will go toward much needed programs and projects vital to the success of our students.

CAMP HILL SCHOOLS NEED YOUR SUPPORT NOW MORE THAN EVER!

Each year, The Lion Foundation asks for your support in funding the needs of our schools that cannot be covered through the regular school budget. This year, the pandemic has presented new challenges.

View our Wish List to learn about our new COVID-related priorities for technology and school safety/social distancing needs.
Your donation matters! It is because of your generosity that we are continually able to fund the grants that support our students and teachers. Unfortunately, because of the uncertainty of holding sporting and arts events, we will not be offering athletic and arts passes at this time.  However, what is absolutely certain is that The Lion Foundation will continue its rigorous grant process and its promise to work with the schools to focus your donations on the district-approved priorities of technology, safety, and academic needs so that we can continue to support our children’s educational endeavors.

To Our Camp Hill ​Families and Friends:

Like all of you, our schools have faced many challenges over the last few months in adapting to the new reality that the coronavirus has created for our communities.

We at The Lion Foundation are dedicated to helping.

The school district closed its doors on March 13, 2020, turning our educational model upside down overnight, and requiring our teachers and students to quickly shift to teaching and learning in new ways.

That means remote learning is no longer a luxury for our small, community schools, but a necessity. To help build a solid foundation for this new way of learning, The Lion Foundation recently voted to award a historic $50,000 grant to our Camp Hill schools to help support this need by establishing the new TECH CONNECT block grant.​

This grant has already helped the district begin to address some of its immediate technology needs, including purchasing critically needed hardware and software for teachers and students. For instance, it was used to replace Chromebooks and for a new, web-based K-12 learning management system called Schoology, through which teachers can create assignments, assessments and discussions with students.

But more is needed, and The Lion Foundation is continuing to work closely with the district to determine how we, and you, our donors, can best support our schools. These are difficult times, but together, I believe we can rise to the challenge and continue to provide our students with the excellent education that has long been the hallmark of the Camp Hill School District.

Thank you to all our donors and supporters. We could not do this without you
.

- Lisa Reeves, board president, The Lion Foundation



The Lion Foundation makes a difference in our community, one student at a time.

Camp Hill is a great place to live! Not unlike a scene from a Norman Rockwell painting—complete with parades, family movies on the ball field, athletic events at Siebert Park and Fiala Field, kids walking to school and playing in the creek. 

At the center of all of this is our commitment to our small community schools. But like all towns, we face challenges. However, unlike in many places, Camp Hill pulls together to solve them as a community.
