ISF LOVES Parents, Donors, Students and Teachers! Thanks for partnering with us. You’re the reason for letters like these…

Thank you for funding the lab materials and textbooks for forensics class. Because of your donations, I have been able to explore a potential career interest and am considering studying it (Forensics) in college. Because of this class I am learning to keep an open mind and to think critically, which are skills that I will use throughout my life.

Hi, my name is Shanni. I am one of the fortunate students from Apollo Elementary. Do you like golf? I like golf. Do you like to relax and have a sweet time? I do and golf is the perfect description (sp). Did you know that me and my friends learn to drive. Actually, you might think of me driving a car but it’s golf driving, so please don’t call the police. We are lucky children because we have the opportunity to learn golf!
