EDUCATION FOUNDATION OF SARASOTA COUNTY
Spirit of Giving | December 2024
AS THE HOLIDAY SEASON BRINGS REFLECTION AND GRATITUDE, WE ARE REMINDED OF THE POWER OF COMMUNITY. For over 35 years, the Education Foundation of Sarasota County has supported nearly 44,000 students and over 5,000 educators across 56 schools in the Sarasota County School District. When teachers are empowered, students succeed—and successful students uplift our workforce, our economy, and our way of life. We believe that by equipping students with essential skills to prepare them for the future, we can help them thrive in school and beyond. That is why we work united with you, our community, to prepare each and every student for life.
MISSION MOMENT: SMA student, Yaritzel Ortega aspired to go to college but didn’t know how to pay for it. She harbored the feeling that, for her family, she “needed to become something.” Student Success Coach, Diana Berris, helped her explore solutions, and today, as part of the Army Reserves, PFC Orgeta is fulfilling her goals to attend college and study law.
