The Pontiac District 90 Education Foundation is starting a new fund drive.

The “Alumni and Friends” drive will benefit mini-grant funding for the district. The foundation has raised and awarded more than $300,000, which has helped purchase things like computers, smart boards, books, band instruments, sound equipment and calculators.

This event has been planned in lieu of the annual golf outing.

With any questions or to donate, contact any one of the District 90 Education Team. The deadline is November 1.
