The Student Fund at all three District 215 campuses provide resources to students facing food insecurity. In 2019 the Executive Board of the Thornton Fractional Teachers Union AFT/IFT Local 683 under the leadership of President Joe Stephan initiated a dual purpose fundraising endeavor with the creation of Trivia Night 2019. In addition to raising money in order to provide scholarships to District 215 graduates who want to become teachers, Local 683 also donated a portion of its proceeds to the student fund at each of the district's three campuses in order to help the schools' social workers provide food and resources to students in need before the holidays. Plans for a second Trivia Night were canceled due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, however, Local 683 donated the money it had budgeted for its annual holiday party to the district's student fund in December of 2020 thus continuing its commitment to students facing food insecurity. While other donations have been made by Local 683 over the years, the Executive Board authorized the creation of the IFT Local 683 Education Foundation NFP to better assist the students of District 215 on an annual basis. If you would like to donate to the Student Relief Fund please reach out to Maria Chavez at maria.chavez@local683ef.org for more information. All money raised for the IFT Local 683 Education Foundation NFP's Student Relief Fund will be donated to the District 215 Student Funds at T.F. North, T.F. South, and T.F. Center so the district's social workers can assist students facing food insecurity or need access to hygiene products.
