Annual Meeting Monona Grove Education Foundation 30 September 2026

Thank you to Laurie & Mark Rundle for returning this year as a Fellow Level Sponsor of the Cares Campaign! They have made a big impact since 2023 when they worked with the MGEF to establish the Starting Line Fund - the basic idea is that every student should have an equal opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities or clubs. Access to equipment or needed items should not be a barrier to trying a new endeavor. For example:

· A student who wants to try band, but cannot afford the rental fee

· A student who needs a backpack – we have some on hand from a previous request

· A student who needs materials for an art project

The Starting Line Fund will help fund the needed items or materials, so the student makes it to the Starting Line.

The MGEF Weekend Snack Pack Program helps address weekend food insecurity for students in our district.

𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪? 📦

In the 2025–2026 school year, our volunteers packed and provided 5,924 Weekend Snack Packs to Monona Grove students!

That’s nearly 6,000 bags packed, organized, and sent home over the course of 37 weeks.

A huge THANK YOU to every volunteer who gave their time to make that happen. Every bag represents a community coming together to support our students. 💙
