SPENCER COUNTY – The Susan Grundhoefer Memorial Fund, held by the Spencer County Community Foundation, recently awarded a $700 grant to Nancy Hanks Elementary School to update literature and posters in the school building to reflect student diversity.
The fund was established in memory of Susan Grundhoefer by husband, Bernie Grundhoefer, and children: Amber Wetzel, Tara Thacker, Denise Scott, and Seth Grundhoefer.
“We are extremely grateful for the Susan Grundhoefer Memorial Fund. This year, this memorial will be helping Nancy Hanks create a more inclusive environment for all students. Our goal is to add more visuals and reading materials that represent students with different races, ethnicities, and disabilities. We believe that creating an environment for all students to feel welcome and included is important. We look forward to growing in this area for our students and community.” said Mrs. Jody Schmitt, Nancy Hanks Elementary Principal.
