Loudoun Education Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to engaging our community to invest in critical and innovative programs that foster the success and well-being of LCPS students and teachers. The Loudoun Education Foundation focuses on making connections with individuals, organizations and local businesses interested in supporting educational programs within Loudoun County Public

Schools and identying the programs that need funding. The focus is on identifying and supporting programs that will enhance the educational experience our children receive during their time in our schools and investing in our teachers and administrators as they seek a higher level of educational excellence. Recognition and rewards are a critical component of achieving excellence and as such one of the Foundation’s key roles is to celebrate those individuals when they achieve such success.

This spring LEF stepped into the classroom to see the brilliant work Loudoun County Public Schools teachers are achieving with Innovation in Education grants.

At Blue Ridge Middle School, an LEF grant supported Liz O’Neill as she ran the 8th grade in-house art field trip titled “A Day in Clay.” Students participated in three workshops: wheel thrown pottery, clay birds (handbuilding), and underglaze transfers (a finishing technique).

Because of the LEF grant, O’Neill was able to bring in artists skilled in ceramics to augment the students’ experience.

The next classroom grant window opens in August.

LCPS teachers, we hope you'll apply next school year. Have a wonderful and well-deserved summer break!

CAST (Community and Schools Together) students are a valued part of the Fueled team, showing up each week to support their peers by helping pack and organize emergency meal bags.

What started a few years ago with one high school has grown into a strong partnership with multiple high schools, creating consistent, hands-on opportunities for students ages 18–22 to build workplace readiness, confidence, and independence.

Through Fueled, students work alongside job coaches, transition teachers, and LEF staff to develop meaningful skills in a real community setting.

In partnership with Loudoun County Public Schools, programs like CAST are helping students with disabilities reach their full potential and build fulfilling, independent lives.

🔨Big news!

We are thrilled to share that 100WomenStrong of Loudoun County, Virginia is awarding LEF a $20,000 grant to launch Summer in the Trades, a brand new week-long camp for 8th graders that puts hands-on career exploration front and center.

Led by the LCPS Division of Career, Technical, and Adult Education, the camp will welcome 200 students across two sessions, giving them a firsthand look at eight CTE pathways, from healthcare and construction to culinary arts, agriculture, computer science, and more.

Because the best time to discover what you love is before you have to choose.

Thank you, 100WomenStrong, for investing in the next generation of Loudoun’s workforce! 💪

Fueled’s partnership with the Bainum Family Foundation and Bainum Foundation Farm is about more than fresh produce. It’s a reminder of how powerful student influence can be.

As the Potomac Falls High School family liaison shared, parents were eager for the produce, but students were hesitant. That changed when one student tried the peppers, loved them, and told others. Soon, more students were asking for produce each week.

Sometimes, it just takes one student to spark a shift.

Thank you to our partners at Bainum Foundation Farm, a locally owned and operated farm near Middleburg, for making this possible.

The Loudoun Education Foundation teamed up with Microsoft and Sycamore Sustainable Electronics Recycling to provide 200 graduating seniors from Park View, Dominion, and Tuscarora high schools with refurbished Lenovo ThinkPads and Chromebooks.

Students earned their devices through strong attendance, on-time graduation with the Class of 2026, and a recommendation from a counselor or family liaison.

ACCESS Academy students helped get the laptops ready by installing new operating systems.

Now, these grads are stepping into what’s next with the tools they need to succeed. 🙌

✨ SHINE Spotlight ✨

Join us in celebrating Gretchen Swierczynski of North Star School! 🎉

Affectionately known as “The Closer,” Mrs. Swierczynski has a remarkable gift for helping students reach the finish line—especially those who have faced repeated challenges with the WorkKeys assessment. Through her dedication to literacy and unwavering belief in her students, she rebuilds confidence and empowers them to earn their diplomas and move forward with success.

More than a teacher, she is a mentor, leader, teammate, and a true life-changer. 💫

A special thank you to our partners at Apple Federal Credit Union! Their generous support helped us surprise Mrs. S with a $450 StubHub gift card so she can cheer on her favorite team, the Buffalo Bills, live next season. 🏈💙❤️

Mrs. Swierczynski truly embodies the heart of SHINE—going above and beyond to make a lasting difference.

We're preparing Loudoun County Public Schools grads to enter careers!

Last week, the Loudoun Education Foundation celebrated 14 graduating seniors who are recipients of our Tools for Success Scholarship.

The funds will help cover the cost of tools or course fees for graduating seniors pursuing careers in skilled trades. The students have their sights set on careers in HVAC, electrical, welding, masonry and culinary arts.

A big thanks to our sponsors: HITT Contracting Inc., Loudoun Credit Union, and the Rotary Club of Broadlands, and to all the teachers who supported these students along the way.

Big news! 🤖

LEF was recently awarded a $30,000 grant from the Micron Technology STEM Fund to expand competitive robotics across Loudoun County Public Schools — and the timing couldn't be better.

This weekend, you can see that excitement in action at the LCPS Robotics Showcase at the Academies of Loudoun.

Come watch our students engineer, compete, and inspire.

Big congratulations to the Loudoun Retired Educators Association for being named the Loudoun Cares Outstanding Adult Volunteer Team for 2026 for their volunteer work supporting LEF’s Fueled program.

We like to say this group isn’t really “retired”—because their commitment to Loudoun County Public Schools students never slows down. Week after week, they show up to pack pantry items, fill food bags in the evenings, and lend a helping hand wherever it’s needed (often before anyone even asks).

They come early. They stay late. They connect with student volunteers. And somehow, they always bring the same energy, kindness, and dedication to making sure every student has what they need to thrive.

We’re so grateful for this incredible team and the heart they bring to our work. This recognition is well deserved 💙.
