My name is Betty Kort and I come to the HPS Foundation with the goal of making the Foundation a stronger and more resilient means of support for the children and youth in the Hastings Public Schools. In these economically stressful times, the students in our schools need enrichment programs that are, for the most part, beyond the means of the school district. This is where I believe the HPS Foundation can make a difference.
My own experience with Hastings Public Schools as a teacher of English and Art for twenty-five years gives me a wide-ranging perspective of the possibilities for enhanced learning. In addition, I have many years of development experience as a long-time board member and later as the executive director of the Willa Cather Foundation. I look forward to working with the HPS Foundation Board and the staff of HPS. Together I know we can enhance learning, but we need your help. Rest assured that your present and future contributions to the HPS Foundation will be well managed and used wisely to expand learning in the Hastings Public Schools.
Thank you for any support you may be willing to provide. I encourage you to explore our Foundation web pages and learn more about us. If you have questions or just want to talk about the future of the HPS Foundation, please feel free to contact me in the Foundation Office.
