Golf Tournament

Each year the Foundation hosts a golf tournament which enables the Foundation to award student scholarships. In June 2018, the tournament was sold out and the field was made up primarily of Circle alumni, parents, administration, faculty/staff, as well as many business partners.

Teacher Grant Program

The Foundation established a Teacher Grant Program to enhance the instruction and learning for the children in USD 375. Grants are awarded annually for projects which emphasize new approaches to teaching and for innovative programs which stimulate thought and expand existing curriculum. Congratulations to the past Grant Winners!
