🎶 The wheels on our bus go round and round…

Through DEF’s shared ownership, clarity and a consistent momentum to ‘drive our DEF bus’, DCS students will have greater access to exceptional learning projects and enriched learning experiences, unlocking the highest potential of every learner!

How do the Mission, Vision and Values born from our first DEF Strategic Planning Retreat ignite our next steps? DEF board members at the October Quarterly board meeting designed specific tactics to actualize our 5 ‘big ideas’ into 5 strategic goals.

The end goal of this exciting collective work? DEF is set to have greater impact within our DCS learning community this year and into our future!

Good things deserve an encore.

At @hopewell_elementary_dcs , teacher Mick Broderick’s idea gave students a chance to explore guitar together, with no prior experience or instrument of their own required.

An initial Dublin Education Foundation grant helped provide guitars for the club. This spring, a second grant supported replacement strings and supplies, helping those instruments stay in students’ hands.

That support creates opportunities to learn chords, practice alongside classmates and experience the satisfaction of trying something new. It also gives students a place to connect through a shared interest.

Thank you, Mr. Broderick, for bringing this idea to life and continuing to make room for music at Hopewell. DEF is proud to help good ideas get started and keep growing.

✨ FIVE YEARS OF GLO, AND WHAT A NIGHT! ✨

We’re still smiling from all the fun we had celebrating 5 years of gloMD! 🥂💛

From the amazing people, laughter, giveaways, and celebrating our incredible Glo Getters to everyone who came out to support us — our hearts are FULL!

We are so grateful for every patient, member, friend, and supporter who has been part of our journey. You are the reason we get to do what we love every day, and we couldn’t have reached this milestone without you. 🤍

Five years down, and we’re just getting started! Here’s to more glowing skin, more confidence, more memories, and many more years together!

With love and gratitude,

We are excited to see Dublin Scioto High School's Purple Star Club featured in the October/November issue of Dublin Life Magazine.

The “Students in Service” feature celebrates the work of social studies teacher and club advisor John Witt and Scioto’s student leaders, who create meaningful ways to recognize, remember, honor and support veterans and military families.

During the 2024 to 2025 school year, DEF provided a $500 grant to support the club’s Veterans Experience project. The walk through display shared the stories and journeys of more than 70 veterans, helping students and the community learn from their service and experiences.

We are proud to help fund meaningful ideas like this and honored to play a small part in work led by dedicated DCS staff members and students.

Congratulations to John Witt and the Purple Star Club, and thank you to Dublin Life Magazine for sharing their story.

Meet Tyra Galloway, a member of the Dublin Education Foundation Board since 2022.

Tyra has supported Dublin City Schools as a parent volunteer, scholarship judge and educator. After teaching in Columbus and Florida, she returned to the classroom and now teaches at Hopewell Elementary.

Her firsthand understanding of the work teachers do brings an educator’s perspective to DEF’s mission of supporting meaningful learning opportunities across the district.

Thank you, Tyra, for sharing your experience and your commitment to Dublin students and educators.

At Eli Pinney Elementary , intervention specialist Caroline Barrie recognized that Clicker Connect could make writing more accessible for students and applied for a DEF grant to expand access. The program allows students to build sentences using symbol supported words, phrases, and pictures, giving them more ways to participate in writing.

DEF awarded $2,525 for iPads and program access, supporting greater participation and independence.

DCS educators, do you have an idea that could help your students? DEF grant applications are open through October 6. Learn more and apply at dublineducationfoundation.com/grants.
