It takes patience, creativity, and a steady hand—and our students are putting all three to work!

What an inspiring day at the John Deere Classic’s Women’s Leadership Day!

The Galesburg Public Schools Foundation was proud to be represented by Laurie Aten, who was joined by Galesburg CUSD #205 leaders Jennifer Hamm, Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations, and Deb Cratty, Director of Special Education.

The event brought together women from Birdies for Charity beneficiary organizations and women leaders from across the region for a day of learning, connection, and inspiration. Participants heard from incredible keynote speakers, including Olympic silver medalist Sarah Wells, and enjoyed an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the John Deere Classic.

We are especially grateful that the Galesburg Public Schools Foundation is one of this year’s Birdies for Charity recipients. Their generosity helps create more opportunities for the students and staff of Galesburg CUSD #205!
