Foundation News
Foundation would like to thank each and everyone that bought and sold cookies for our Ham ‘N Goody’s Cookie Drive for STEM. We raised $4905 for our S.T.E.M. program at Shannondale. It should be pointed out that we are one of two Knox County Elementary Schools that provides S.T.E.M. for all students K-5th based on parent and community partner support.
Our Skate-4-S.T.E.M. has been hugely successful. Our 2022 dates are February 3rd and March 24th from 5:30-7:30. Come out and skate with us on these nights.
Our next fundraising event will be the 2022 Online Auction and Gala. You will see more details in the next few weeks, but the general information is to save the date for February 26th from 6:30-10:00pm at On Broadway Events for the in-person gala. We will offer the Online Auction beginning the week before the Gala. We will be looking for Event Sponsors, Auction Items, Live Auction Items, and Attendees for the Gala.
Thank you for your continued support of all great things that are offered at our school.

SOUPER BOWL
The "Souper" Bowl is a competition amongst our feeder pattern of schools during January and leading up to the Super Bowl. The thought is to have each school collect canned soups. Once the drive ends, we will count up the items donated at each school and divide that by the total number of students to determine the winner of the Fountain City Souper Bowl.
