It was 1992 when I took Mark Swezey’s intro to drama class at Dr. Todd Dain A throwback Thursday for sure! So grateful to Swez for his impact on generations of @thesmsd kids. I made a gift in his honor…will you join me in honoring an educator who has meant the world to you?

Ohhhhhh, we love hearing a #LeadershipShawneeMission shoutout in here!

Thank you, Mrs. Tate for introducing us to Miguel and so many outstanding students over the years! We're thankful for all you do as an educator and how you support the Foundation!

Celebrate Educator Appreciation Week through a gift to the Foundation! Once you make your gift, we'll let your @thesmsd educator know. It’s like giving them a virtual high-five & supporting important educational initiatives! Win-win! Learn more: smef.org/appreciation

Did you know the Shawnee Mission Education Foundation is led by a board of volunteers? To wrap up #NationalVolunteerMonth , we give a huge THANK YOU to our volunteers that support and live out our mission! We couldn't do it without them!

This month the Foundation hosted Alpha Delta Kappa International, an international honorary organization for women educators. Members toured the SMSDCAA & learned about Imagination Library. One member said, '(I am) very proud of @thesmsd as it surges toward the future needs of our students!'
