Gratitude That Gives Back ❤️🖤
We are incredibly grateful to Don “Augie” Deabler for his generous donation to our Industrial Arts and Vocational Pathways programs, and to Pax Patterson for his generous donation of supplies to support our students!
As a veteran, Augie shared that he is especially grateful for the opportunity to give back to his community. He chose to support our school and, specifically, our vocational pathways programs because of his own experiences in that field.
“The more options a young person can explore, the better the chance they can find their strengths.”
Augie believes that providing students with opportunities to explore different skills and career pathways will help them become more successful as they leave home and enter society and the workforce.
What makes this gift even more meaningful is the heart behind it. Augie is deeply grateful for the experiences in his own life that made this opportunity possible, and he wants to help provide those same opportunities for the next generation.
As Augie so beautifully put it:
“This is not generosity, this is gratitude.”
Thank you, Augie, for investing in our students, believing in the importance of vocational education, and giving back to the community that means so much to you. Thank you for helping provide the supplies our students need to learn, create, and grow!
We are truly grateful for your support of our students and their futures! ❤️🖤
