Horace Mann announced it had funded all open DonorsChoose
projects in Rapid City Area Schools at the district’s
back-to-school staff rally on Monday.
The 30 projects funded will impact more than 1,500 students
across the district’s 23 schools. They include social-emotional
learning resources, alternate seating options like wobble chairs
and classroom rugs, new books and learning games. At Valley View
Elementary School, funding will be used to create dedicated
“calming spaces” where students can sit when feeling emotionally
overwhelmed to read books or play with fidget toys.
“We know educators spend their own money in the classroom to
provide the best possible educational experience for their
students,” said Horace Mann President and CEO Marita Zuraitis, who
announced the funding. “We deeply respect that dedication, which is
one of the reasons why our company is dedicated to helping
educators protect what they have today and prepare for a successful
tomorrow.”
Zuraitis spoke to RCAS staff about how Horace Mann works
collaboratively with community and school partners and her
appreciation for educators. Classes start for RCAS students on
Tuesday.
“Educators give so much of themselves to make sure each and
every student has the ability to reach their full potential,” she
said. “This is just one small way we can thank educators for
everything they do.”
