To kick off the 50th Anniversary of Gifted Education in Missouri, the Phelps Center had something big to celebrate: a big check.
On Aug. 22, the Phelps Center for Gifted Education received a $50,000 donation to establish a long-term endowment fund to support gifted education in Springfield Public Schools. The 來福 Lái Fú Fund for Phelps Center for Gifted Education was made possible by the generosity of Peter Lai and Jackie Fu, long-term supporters of public education.
“We established this fund to make a positive difference in the community we live in and to provide ongoing resources to support the needs of the Phelps Center for Gifted Education,” shared Peter Lai and Jackie Fu. “As past beneficiaries of the Gifted Program, we would like this fund to help the gifted program grow so future gifted students can develop and flourish to their maximum potential.”
Gifted Education Director Dr. Lenae Lazzelle celebrated the gift at Phelps’ Open House event. Surrounded by her staff, Dr. Lazzelle accepted the check to the Foundation for Springfield Public Schools on behalf of gifted learners in Springfield, past, present and future.
“Peter and Jackie, your support will have a long-term, profound impact on the gifted students we serve and help us continue to work toward our vision of being the statewide leaders in gifted education,” said Dr. Lazzelle. “This contribution will enable us to expand our programs and create lasting positive change. We are deeply grateful for your belief in our work and your commitment to making a difference. Your generosity inspires us and reinforces the power of philanthropy to transform lives.”
