Clayton Education Foundation

Clayton Education Foundation Administrative Assistant Stephanie Mullee brings extensive experience from both large corporations and small businesses to her role. She splits her time between the Foundation and the School District of Clayton's Communications Department. She and her husband Chris recently welcomed their future Greyhound, daughter Madilyn, to the family.

The Catalyst Program offers an innovative, advanced, entrepreneurial approach to education that is designed to give high school students hands-on, real world experience in global business and entrepreneurship. Funding from the Clayton EducationFoundation supported the CHS pilot class that now has grown to a regional program including students and teachers from Clayton, Brentwood, Ladue and University City High Schools. Students learn from business professionals and develop an idea for a new business they pitch in a competition like TV’s Shark Tank. Just another example of the innovative learning experiences our donors make possible! Donate today at www.claytoneducationfoundation.org.

It is with great sadness that we report the death 2020 Clayton Alumni Hall of Fame Honoree Jack Tuholske ('72). As reported in The Missoulian, the former CHS Swim Team Captain lived unrelentingly for more than 17 months after his cancer diagnosis. He was one of the country's finest public interest environmental lawyers and tireless defender of public lands, wildlife and waters. We're proud that he was #AlwaysAGreyhound.

Help support your fellow District families in need by donating to the Annual Food Pantry Fundraiser. This new District-wide event is sponsored by the PTO Council and the Clayton Education Foundation. There are two ways you can help fill the food pantry at each building: 1) Make a tax deductible cash donation through the Clayton Education Foundation from Oct. 9 - 25. Go to https://www.claytoneducationfoundation.org/FoodPantry.... 2) Drop off non-perishable foods, toiletries and other items from 9 a.m. until Noon on Saturday, Oct. 24, at school buildings in the District. See https://www.claytonschools.net/domain/50 for a list of needed items, each school's drop-off instructions and more! One of our Clayton community's greatest strengths is its generosity. Thank you in advance for helping us fill the food pantry!
