Wealthy Elementary | East Grand Rapids Public Schools

There are many ways to offer your support of our students. Please read here about how you can get involved. The PTO has created a new Parent Quick Links Dashboard on Google Sheets to consolidate shared links in one place. Organized by grade level, these view-only sheets will be updated weekly with class party sign-ups, volunteer opportunities, and other school-related links. We hope this makes it easier for parents to access important information throughout the year.

What a Night! EGRSF Awards Dinner Was an Amazing Event

Thank you to everyone who made last week's sold out East Grand Rapids Schools Foundation Awards Dinner such an amazing event!

Cadence co-founder Susan Lovell, our Community Service Award honoree, was clearly thrilled with her award. Our tribute to Distinguished Alumni honoree the late AJ Birkbeck, EGRHS class of 1978, was inspiring. And the remarks from Distinguished Alumni honoree Dr. Nii Addy, EGRHS class of 1996, about growing up in East Grand Rapids and his life’s work as a neuroscientist, were as fascinating as they were informative.

If you know someone who should be considered for the Community Service or Distinguished Alumni awards, you can nominate them on the East Grand Rapids Schools Foundation's website, egrsf.org.

A special thank you to the high school students in the string quartet who played during our social hour, our Madrigals choir for their uplifting performances, and to our EGRSF student board members, Caleb Rapoport ‘27 and Lucy Custer ‘28, who presented our Excellence in Teaching and James and Georgia Nicholas Endowed Awards for 2025 and 2026 to Heather Carlson, Andrea Dudley, Kailey Faris, Kristen Borak, Adam Horos, and Corey Kapolka.

You can watch the video about AJ Birkbeck on our YouTube channel.

At the East Grand Rapids Schools Foundation, we support our schools. Thank you for being part of the we!
