Education Impact: Vallee Fund Assists Blanchester Summer School Programming
Students at Putnam Elementary School in Blanchester attended summer school in 2025 and benefited from hands-on learning, courtesy of grant funding from the Vallee Fund at the Clinton County Foundation. Twenty-seven students participated in twelve full-day sessions, complete with bus transportation and structured learning events. “The program provided a balance of academic instruction and enrichment activities designed to maintain learning momentum and promote student growth,” says Putnam principal Jeri Earley. As a result, 74% of the students in attendance maintained or improved their test scores from one school year to the next according to MAPS assessments in August.
The summer program focused on improving literacy skills, enhancing math skills, and promoting social – emotional learning. By keeping groups small, instructors targeted specific needs and student engagement.
Health & Wellness Impact: LEGACY Funds Impact The Clinton Warren Joint Fire District
For the last three years, the LEGACY Fund has provided the CWJFD with specialized equipment enabling them to train for and respond to highly technical and life-threatening emergencies. Such low frequency but highly impactful events include grain bin entrapments (aka, engulfment hazards), various rope rescues, water rescues, and fire suppression. “All our equipment is loaded onto one truck, so we are ready to respond at a moment’s notice to these types of unique and rapidly changing critical events,” shared Captains Andrew Wysong and Brad Burton.
The key to these rescues is not only having the right equipment, but also using it to create lifelike training for firefighters throughout Clinton County. Thanks to the LEGACY Fund, the CWJFD has been able to acquire a Bullard Satellite Fire Attack panel (to simulate fire flames and smoke without the corresponding toxic fumes), corresponding fire extinguisher simulator props, multiple rope rescue items, water rescue equipment and a Great Wall Grain Rescue Tube.
