This school year marks the last year in a three- year commitment by the Ford Family Foundation of up to $10,000 for the Sisters pro- gram. All new donor con- tributions that are received prior to June 30, 2016 will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000. “We are excited to be able to announce this match- ing grant opportunity,” says Rob Meeter, director of the Community Schools Program at Sisters Park & Recreation District. “This program affords parents and caregivers some additional time where they know their child is well- cared for while they finish their work day.” In addition to the main program hosted at Sisters Elementary School there are also periodic classes at Sisters Middle School. Those classes have included cook- ing, archery, enrichment time, ‘biz kids’ and more.
