Thanks to the High Point Community Foundation, students at Penn-Griffin School for the Arts and Fairview Elementary will experience educational trips alongside their classmates.

Through the foundation's High Point Principals' Fund Committee, approximately 20 students at Fairview Elementary received funding to travel to Washington, D.C. on Tuesday as part of the fifth-grade field trip. In addition, several seniors at Penn-Griffin School for the Arts will be able to take their senior trip to New York City in April.

"We are grateful to the High Point Community Foundation for all they do to support our schools, students and principals," said Western Region Superintendent Angelo Kidd. "We never want our students to miss out on educational experiences due to financial restrictions, and we are so fortunate that the High Point Community Foundation continues to minimize these barriers."

Established in 1990, The High Point Community Foundation is a philanthropic organization dedicated to empowering the community for both present and future generations of the High Point community. They achieve this goal by providing multiple financial contributions to schools throughout the school year and by actively seeking new donors.
