D300 Foundation for Educational Excellence Unveils 2018 Notecards

For Immediate Release

ALGONQUIN – The School District 300 Foundation for Educational Excellence has released the 2018 edition boxed sets of all-occasion note cards that feature unique original works by District 300 art students.

Priced at $10 a pack, the blank note cards are an ideal way to express yourself in an eye-catching way while supporting Foundation-supported innovative art and education programs in District 300. The notecards also make great gifts for family, friends and colleagues this holiday season. A pack contains 15 note cards, each specially designed by individual D300 art students whose works were among those displayed in the Foundation’s Cultural Arts on the Fox event earlier this year.

All proceeds from sales of the notecards support the Foundation’s mission to enhance and extend learning opportunities for all students in Community Unit School District 300 by funding innovative grant projects. Notecards ordered online by District 300 families will be delivered to the designated child's school one week after payment is received. Orders placed by other community members can be picked up at the D300 Central Office at 2550 Harnish Drive in Algonquin during regular business hours. (receipt and id required)
