As I step into the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors for The Foundation for Seminole County Public Schools, I bring a perspective shaped by my career in construction: every great structure begins with a strong foundation.

In Seminole County, our public schools are the foundation upon which our community’s future is built. A strong school system does far more than educate. It strengthens our local economy, prepares our future workforce, and creates opportunities for families across our region. When we invest in our students and teachers today, we help ensure that Seminole County remains a resilient, thriving community for generations to come.

The Foundation serves as a catalyst, transforming good educational opportunities into extraordinary ones. We do this through three vital pillars:

  • Grants for Great Ideas: Providing direct funding to teachers for innovative, hands-on learning experiences that inspire students in the classroom.
  • Take Stock in Children: Creating pathways to higher education for deserving students through dedicated mentorship and college scholarships.
  • Tools 4 Seminole Schools: Equipping teachers and students with essential classroom supplies at no cost, ensuring that a lack of resources never stands in the way of learning.

Creating and building a brighter future for our students is a team effort. It takes all of us business leaders, parents, alumni, educators, and community members working together to give our schools the tools and resources they need to excel.

I invite you to join us this year as a donor, volunteer, mentor, or partner. Your involvement can make a lasting difference in the life of a student and in the future of our entire community.

Together, let’s build a stronger foundation for Seminole County’s future.

Sincerely,

Rick Bundy Jr.

Chairman, Board of Directors
