District 58 is proud to celebrate its hard-working teachers and staff during American Education Week, Nov. 18-22, 2024.

In honor of American Education Week, the Education Foundation of Downers Grove District 58 invites families to thank a special teacher or staff member with a donation to its Green Apple Award Program.

With each Green Apple donation received, the Education Foundation will send a specially designed Green Apple Award card to the teacher or staff member the donation is honoring, with a custom message from the donor. Green Apples are hand-delivered by the superintendent or school principal.

All donations will support the Education Foundation’s programs, which include the Teacher Grants Program, Distinguished Service Awards, Select 58, Sneak Preview, New Teacher Luncheon, The Reading Games and more. 

Green Apple donations and messages may be submitted online by visiting www.58foundation.org and clicking the "Send a Green Apple" button, or directly here. After completing the donation form, you will receive a text message to complete the submission. 

While the Green Apple Program is open year-round, if you would like your Green Apple Award to be delivered before winter break, please submit your donation by Friday, Dec. 13.

Thank you for supporting the District 58 Education Foundation!

American Education Week annually encourages Americans to celebrate public education and the most influential teachers and staff members in their children’s lives. Please consider celebrating this special week with a Green Apple Award for a favorite teacher or staff member!
