The Goddard Education Foundation is excited to announce a 5-Year ‘All Blue’ Partnership with Credit Union of America (CUA). As students journey through Goddard Public Schools, partnerships with local businesses help enhance the educational experience for both students and educators. Each year, Credit Union of America provides grants that help support educators' classroom needs, gifts, prizes, and swag (like the backpack featured in the video) for USD 265 staff, as well as countless meals for staff throughout the year to show their appreciation.

 “Credit Union of America values partnerships, and we are proud of the long-standing and impactful relationship we enjoy with the Goddard School District and the Goddard Education Foundation. As the Educators’ Credit Union, CUA is dedicated to positively impacting both educators and students. Our various initiatives with GEF and the Goddard Schools have successfully furthered this mission. We are excited to launch the new ‘All Blue’ partnership, which will strengthen our relationship and deepen our impact on future leaders and the exceptional educators who inspire them. We anticipate that the rollout and execution of ‘All Blue’ will be both enjoyable and rewarding.” Bradley Dyer, Credit Union of America Sr. Business Development Officer. 

Many milestones are accomplished and celebrated during a student’s educational journey through Goddard Public Schools. The Credit Union of America backpack symbolizes the collective impact that the 1,200+ educators and a community can make on ALL 6,300 students of Goddard Public Schools. Each educator adds lessons, relationships, memories, and confidence to the student's backpack along this journey. Just as every educator has poured into supporting this generation, the backpack is passed on to inspire the next generation of students and future educators.

"As President of the Goddard Education Foundation, I am thrilled to celebrate this landmark 5-year, All-Blue partnership with Credit Union of America. Their unwavering support and generosity have significantly enriched the educational experience for our students and educators. We look forward to many more years of collaboration and shared success." Jacque Grant, President of the Goddard Education Foundation
