We are saddened at the loss of one of the Foundation's founding members, Linda Chick.  As a founding member, Linda was instrumental in engaging the community in the public educational system.  Gathering others with similar interests, she launched the Foundation for the community to support and promote innovative projects for Lake Forest School District community and students.   Linda’s passion for a quality public education for all students was no less than what she wanted for her own children and grandchildren: a public education that included interactive and inspirational educational experiences within and outside the classroom.  Throughout her life, Linda spearheaded initiatives to improve the lives of children, women, and families throughout Delaware as well as the Lake Forest School District.   

The Lake Forest Community Education Foundation is a grassroots organization that serves students and adults in Delaware's Lake Forest School District. Our foundation values education in the classroom to prepare students for a future beyond graduation. We also support community education opportunities including the arts, athletics, and extra-curricular educational activities. Through partnerships with the school district, community leaders, and businesses, we address educational needs in our beloved rural area.
