Expanding Horizons

ITALY TOUR 2024: The Education Legacy Fund partnered for a second time with Custer County Schools educator Heather Ramer and Education First for 24 students to travel to Italy for nine days in June of 2024. ELF was incredibly proud to be a key sponsor of this overseas trip as well as the 2022 England Trip. ELF also held a free Italy 2024 Kickoff Celebration at All Aboard Westcliffe where travelers and their families were treated to pizza, salad and lemon ricotta cookies while they enjoyed a short ELF presentation. Student speakers also shared their excitement for the 2024 adventure.

We were thrilled to once again identify a program that fits the Education Legacy Fund mission: Support Breakthrough Educational Initiatives in Custer County. As always, we very much appreciate the support of the community and welcome any questions, suggestions and additional support for lifelong learning initiatives.
