Established in 1991
OUR MISSION is to support and enhance the district's dedication to all students.
OUR VISION is to provide learning opportunities for students in Osseo Area Schools by funding programs, projects and other opportunities that are not presently available through the district's budget.
OUR CORE VALUE We believe that there is a moral, social and economic imperative to support student success and equitable student achievement.
AREAS OF FOCUS:
1) Support students through innovative and creative projects that enhance curriculum, experiential learning opportunities or contribute to the community.
2) Recognize the achievements of students and staff in Osseo Area Schools.

This annual celebration recognizes individuals from each site for their commitment and dedication to our community.
