ROCHELLE — The David Crawford Foundation will be having its annual Pancake Day on Saturday, March 10 from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Rochelle Middle School. Funds generated from this annual event help the Rochelle Elementary School District to acquire additional resources for teachers and students.
The David Crawford Foundation was established in memory of David Crawford, Superintendent of Rochelle Elementary School District 231 from 1941 to 1972. Its’ purpose is to provide support for enhancing the quality of education consistent with the principles he espoused.
These principles include: A commitment to quality educational opportunity for all children, regardless of background or ability; respect for, and appreciation of the diversity of the school community; instilling the basic values of citizenship, cooperation, fairness, and service to school and community; ongoing improvement in teaching through creative innovation of methodologies and technologies.
All monies raised by the David Crawford Foundation go directly to teachers and students in the school district. In past years teachers have received funding to purchase supplemental classroom materials, such as math activities, games, literature, and incentives that enhance the quality of education provided to the students.
