    The D54 Education Foundation is grateful for its long-standing partnership with the Rotary Club of Schaumburg/Hoffman Estates who for years has made a donation to support financially struggling families in our schools. Today, club members and Foundation trustees were welcomed to Keller Jr. High by student ambassadors and staff to present a $10,000 check. The donation will be used to support the Foundation's Crisis Fund and District 54 Food Pantries, including the one at Keller. #BetterTogether
