This Week’s Trivia Question: In the fall of 2021, the Foundation funded a $26,408 grant to purchase some eponymous equipment named after The March King. What was the equipment? (No Googling! First to email Jay Forstner the right answer gets an EGRSF merch prize). Last week’s question was, “In the movie, ‘American Pie,’ what was the restaurant based on Yesterdog called?” The answer was Dog Years. Annie Stormzand was our winner.

Have a great week! You + the Foundation make our schools even better together. Thank you!
