Time and time again, without hesitation, Jacobs has served as title sponsor of our Annual Sugar Shindig and been a top donor over the years, contributing to the success of many FBEF events! In fact, their generous support contributed to the success of this year’s Sugar Shindig, which netted an estimated $58,000 to support the Education Foundation’s Grants to Teachers and Schools Program! We appreciate Jacobs for connecting with us and raising the bar in all that you do! For those reasons, we are honored to call Jacobs a valued partner!

Madden Elementary kindergarten students are learning proper letter formation! Teacher Ruth Schmalz used her grant to purchase sets of Trace & Write magnetic boards for students to use in the classroom literacy stations. Students place an activity card, showing an upper- or lower-case letter, on one side of the board and trace the letter with their finger. They then use the stylus to write the letter on the board’s writing surface. They erase the letter and practice repeatedly before advancing to the next activity card. The students enjoy working independently while improving their literacy skills!
