Osakis school and community members,
We are in the process of organizing a Silverstreak Foundation Advisory Committee and need your help steering interested individuals to this cause! We are looking for 5-7 committed members willing to play a key role in getting a foundation off the ground so it can begin benefitting our school, students, and community by building an additional funding source that we hope leads to more non-local dollars coming into our school and community.
We are proposing to have an initial meeting with those interested sometime in early April. At this point, the expectations of potential committee members would be to begin the formation of the Foundation by working with West Central Initiative, Superintendent, Board Chair, and one of our staff members who has expertise in the area of foundations and nonprofits. West Central Initiative has helped a number of school districts in our region establish foundations that contribute to the school for a variety of purposes. By partnering with West Central Initiative, the Foundation will have 501c3 status, which can aid in receiving donations, estate planning for large donors, administering fundraising efforts for school groups, and involves an Advisory Committee to guide both fundraising efforts and fund disbursement. It's important to mention that the Foundation is not run by the school or school board, it is at the direction of the Advisory Committee. This independence allows more flexibility for donors, offers options for creative fundraising endeavors, and engages the Advisory Committee in allocating funds in alignment with the mission of the foundation.
We are looking to our Advisory Committee Members to provide insight and guidance as we put together the Silverstreak Foundation in partnership with the West Central Initiative. Once the mission, formal documents, and operating procedures are completed, the Advisory Committee will focus efforts on building a plan for fundraising, appropriating funds, and eventual disbursement of funds for causes that support our school, staff, and students. We would likely have no more than 4-8 meetings per year.
If you are interested in being a part of this initiative, please complete https://forms.gle/9zp5ZuYB82sqVh4A9 and we will be in touch about the next steps.

Congratulations to the Silverstreak Wrestling Team on their Section 6A 2nd place finish! We are proud of all of you!
The 7th graders had their first lab in the kitchens today. They made some very delicious smoothies. Parents of these kids, please know they do a great job of cleaning and doing dishes. I’m sure they’d love to help you more at home. 😁
