What others have to say

Children's socio-economic status is something they are born into and completely out of their control. The effects of this however highly impact their ability to succeed. I believe in doing everything we can to try to even the playing field and doing everything we can to provide the best conditions for learning for all students.

I've seen the Foundation do so much - backpacks full of school supplies, winter clothing, a snack program, and support with camps and activities! Others should support the Foundation because removing barriers for students and families is important! It means that they can focus on learning and are able to have their best school experience.
- Nadia Naufal, Sawmill Creek PS
All students deserve an education and meeting their basic needs should not interfere with that fundamental right. Supporting the Education Foundation of Ottawa means supporting our students. Its going directly to the students we see everyday and making their lives better and ensuring they can focus on learning.
- Rian Bayne, Severn Avenue PS
Definitely levelling the playing field has always been a key component of my involvement. Students should have access to any opportunity regardless of financial status. EFO plays a part in removing a barrier ($) to opportunities for students. An EFO investment ensures wider student engagement and builds an atmosphere of equality.
