The annual Fred Paxton Challenge for Charities is in full swing!
From June 1 through August 31 you can donate to our Foundation and know that every dollar directly impacts our students. You can designate your donation to any of our schools, programs, and scholarships in the district via our Foundation.
In its 24th year, the Fred Paxton Challenge for Charities has been instrumental in helping build nonprofit endowment funds. Because of Mr. Paxton's vision and his family's continued commitment, the Community Foundation will match donations raised by each organization up to $10,000. These matching funds support the classes and after school programs at the Paducah Innovation Hub Makerspace, which remain free to all district students.

Clark Elementary’s PTO received a grant and support from several community members to create two amazing playgrounds for our students. The 3rd-5th grade playground is complete; the K-2nd grade playground construction will start in late September and should be ready for children in October. We would like to say thank you to our PTO and the following families and businesses for their support, Jackson Property Maintenance, Meeks family, and Paducah Public Schools Foundation.
Huge thanks to Royal Oaks Chevrolet for stopping by today to present a donation to Clark Elementary School! Through their amazing Drive for Education program, Royal Oaks Chevrolet donates $50 for every vehicle sold to local schools each month. Paducah Middle was the lucky recipient for the month of August, receiving a generous $6050! These funds will make a real difference for our students. We are so grateful for your partnership, Royal Oaks Chevrolet!
