Welcome to SCCF!

The Southern Columbia Community Foundation (SCCF) supports Southern Columbia students' academic programs. We are a not-for-profit foundation of alumni and friends, and invite you to join us in creating outstanding experiences for our students at all grade levels. We want to provide new programs, broadened opportunities, and meaningful learning events for Southern Columbia students.

A great education is the best gift we can give to school-aged children, providing opportunities to explore their individual interests and develop their unique abilities. Educational gifts are investments in our students and also in the shared future of our community and country.

Reading Program GrantThe 4th grade teaching staff received a magazine subscription from Storyworks, a monthly publication that provides enrichment stories to the ELA curriculum. 

Stacey Hockenbroch, 4th grade teacher, commented, “The kids are loving having the opportunity to learn from the magazines. They are able to relate to them because they are current topics on their level.  Many of my students have been enjoying the online components in class and at home. I love how motivated and excited they are to learn. 

"We are currently reading a story about pizza and how it became popular in the world! The students seem to get excited when they see that new magazines are delivered to the class. We are certainly very lucky to have received the grant to bring this opportunity to our classrooms!”

To see more about the grants we've provided, see "Grants Awarded."
