GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (GRPS) -- Sibley Elementary School has been selected to receive a $10,000 Meijer Team Gives award from Bridge Street Market in recognition of the strong partnership between the school and the neighborhood grocery store.
The award was presented at Bridge Street Market after Sibley was nominated as a community partner and chosen through a vote of Meijer team members. The recognition highlights the relationship built between the school and Bridge Street Market through Sibley's Kent School Services Network (KSSN) Coordinator Sara Scott, helping connect scholars and families with resources and support.
Sibley Elementary leaders plan to get input from scholars, families, and staff about how to use the donation to benefit the Sibley community.
"We are incredibly grateful to Bridge Street Market and the Meijer team for this investment in our school community," said Sibley Elementary Principal Faith Fugit. "This partnership has helped strengthen the support available to our scholars and families, and this generous gift will create even more opportunities for our scholars to succeed."
“Bridge Street Market team is part of the Sibley Familia and we love coming up with new ways to partner,” Scott added. “This donation is a huge investment in our school community that will impact us for years to come.”
