The Geneseo Education Foundation recognized Geneseo School District 228 employees and Henry-Stark employees by delivering lunches to all schools in the District.

Representatives of the GEF delivered a total of 285 sack lunches, prepared by Atkinson Hometown Deli.

According to GEF director Sharon Neumann, “The GEF wanted to recognize all of these employees, including support staff and substitutes, to thank them for their efforts. The gesture is a way to acknowledge the dedication and commitment of these educators during Teacher Appreciation Week and to give back to the community. Thanks to the generosity of the sponsors, it is a win-win for everyone involved, and a reminder of the importance of supporting our local schools and educators.”

The Geneseo Education Foundation, a not-for-profit corporation, was established to solicit and receive gift bequests and grants to complement, enrich, and enhance the educational opportunities and experiences for students of the Geneseo School District beyond existing tax support.
