We are excited to announce that we just partnered with LeanStream. LeanStream provides school systems and teachers with a digital platform to promote and fund school and classroom initiatives through charitable giving.
For just $50/month , students and staff have UNLIMITED WiFi access ON THE GO! WAIT...there is MORE! Can you believe that $12 goes back to the Education Foundation per participant every single month? That's right! Once a participant is registered, a small box will come in the mail in 5-6 business days.
A participant simply connects to the HotSpot and has UNLIMITED access at home, in the library and even outdoors!
Just click https://www.leanstreamrp.com/pages/district/26/colbert-county-schools to get started! #LeanStream #TeamColbertCounty
Funds raised will go directly to the classroom through the Education Foundation.

Support the Education Foundation
There have been numerous events to support the Education Foundation; however, the support from the district employees has been very low. As a matter of fact, there was one event which I was the only person from the district to participate.
If you can not make an event, please send someone who loves kids and who wants to support our instructional staff.
Please note: ALL funds raised go directly into the classrooms and media centers.
