Stillwater, MN – The Partnership Plan’s annual virtual fundraiser, Pony Up for Kids included an online
auction of 28 items and two days of giving on October 12th & 13th, generating gifts from community members and businesses totaling $65,867.
The focus this year was our 5-year mental health initiative to further develop a framework of proactive and responsive mental health support in our schools. Dollars raised will assure our students’ mental health needs are receiving an adequate, correct, and timely response within all of our facilities. Training provided for our educators, support staff, and administrators will address how to recognize, respond to, and triage mental health issues at all levels.
Since 1989, the Partnership Plan has provided innovative and enhanced learning opportunities to every classroom in the district. Recent projects include teacher grants for all 52 new teachers to District 834 this past fall, a theater residency program for all 5th-grade students, and continued support of the Pathways program at Stillwater Area High School.
Rick Robbins, Executive Director acknowledged, “The pandemic changed many things in people’s day-to-day lives, but it hasn’t been able to slow the determination of The Partnership Plan, its volunteers, and our supporters as the success of this fundraising campaign clearly reflects. On behalf of our Board of Directors, The Partnership Plan wants to thank everyone who supports our mission and Stillwater Area Public Schools.”
