The School Foundation recently received a $5,000 donation from Monster Worldwide Inc., the parent company of Monster, an online job recruitment and careers resource.
The funds will be used to enrich LEAP (Florence School District 1’s Language Enrichment Acceleration Program), a pilot program founded in 2005 which originally supported intensive reading programs for all first-graders in three district elementary schools. Because of its success, all elementary schools in the district have implemented the program. LEAP is the first grant given by The School Foundation.
Monster announced in late June it plans to invest $28 million and create 750 jobs over five years through its new customer service center in Florence. Officials from Monster and local dignitaries gathered Dec. 2 to break ground for the center at Pee Dee Electric Cooperative’s Touchstone Energy Commerce City.
The School Foundation promotes educational excellence in Florence School District 1 through grants for innovative and high impact programs designed to benefit all children.
