The Foundation began during the 2000- 2001 school year to raise, manage, and distribute scholarships for seniors from Fort Osage High School. Since that time the foundation has expanded its efforts to provide support for teacher grants, student grants, academic recognition, and special projects. The Capital Campaign has brought together the parents, community, staff, board of education and businesses to help fill a need for the students in our district. Together we have raised approximately $359,000. It is members of the Fort family who have made this renovation possible. We have had a number of significant contributors come forward during this campaign. On behalf of the foundation and the district we would like to thank: Bedsworth Family Carol Marcks Connie Truelove David and Janie Gates David and Joann Shrout Dennis and Cindy Vanarsdall Dollin Tools Fort Osage Athletic Booster Club Fort Osage Education Foundation Jackson County Electric Jan Spencer Jason & Jodi Snodgrass and Family Jim and Signa Lynch John Mueller McBee Custom Homes McDonalds M.L. Crose Foundations Nancy Tracy Pat and Rita Farrell Rods Sports Ryan and Darci Schartz Smokey Dyer And a number of anonymous donors. Without your support we would not be here today. We are still accepting donations to reach our goal of $400,000. We know that working with businesses, alumni, community members, and other Fort Family members we will raise the additional funds needed. The expansion is well underway and is expected to be open for student use in early August. Look for more information on a ribbon cutting and your chance to tour the Multi-Purpose building.
