JEFFCO SCHOOLS FOUNDATION has been a proud non-profit partner of JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS since 1983!
In 2019-20, Jeffco Schools Foundation provided support and partnership to more than 80% of our schools through its programs.
Art Shows
|
Jeffco Schools Foundation is honored to support Jeffco Public Schools student artists and annual art shows.
During a year that saw instruction both interrupted and shifted to remote and hybrid environments, Jeffco students have persevered and created. In this year that recognizes 50 years of Jeffco Public Schools' outstanding student Art Shows, Jeffco Foundation, district employees, teachers, students, and the community have made possible the continuation of this amazing tradition. Thanks and recognition go to our forever Jeffco Arts Heroes, Joe & Betty Wetherbee (pictured), for their enduring legacy of investment in Jeffco arts. |

Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative
Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative (COSI) is Matching Scholarship Funds for Jeffco Graduates.

The Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative seeks to couple tuition assistance and student supports to ensure that every Colorado student has affordable access to postsecondary opportunities, and can complete a degree or certificate necessary to enter their desired position in Colorado’s workforce. Jeffco Schools Foundation is a COSI recipient and partner, with nearly $1M in available combined resources to provide scholarship support in 2021 and beyond.
Jeffco Schools Foundation partners with Red rocks Community College, Front Range Community College, University of Colorado Boulder, Metro State University, and other postsecondary partners to leverage COSI investments to support Jeffco Public Schools graduates on their paths toward their bright future. |
Costume Connection
|
The Jeffco Costume Connection is an educational theater resource available to all students, educators, and families in Jeffco. All costumes are free to check out, much like a library. The Costume Connection is filled with costumes, clothing, and special event wear (for special occasions like graduation or prom, or even Halloween!)
Special recognition and thanks go to Jane Gilmore (pictured) for her leadership and volunteerism to bring the Costume Shop resource to so many Jeffco students. |
