Osseo Area Schools Community Education

You can create exceptional opportunities for scholars in our schools by supporting District 279 Foundation. District 279 Foundation helps to fill the gaps that may exist and serve the needs of the teachers and scholars in Osseo Area Schools. Your investment will provide access to grant-funded educational experiences that inspire scholars and spark deeper learning. Together we can help scholars achieve their dreams, contribute to the community and engage in a lifetime of learning. District 279 Foundation’s grants program provides learning opportunities for scholars in Osseo Area Schools by funding programs, projects and other opportunities that are not currently funded through the district's budget. Any district employee, school volunteer or community member can apply.
