Okefenoke Rural Electric Foundation, Inc.

The Baker County Education Foundation was recently awarded a $2500 grant by the Okefenoke Rural Electric Foundation, Inc. This grant will enable the Baker County High School Interact Club to fund and implement three service projects for the Baker County Council on Aging.  They will purchase Chromebooks for the center for the residents to use and will provide training on how to use these computers.  This training will include looking things up on the internet and learning how to send emails.  We will also be able to purchase supplies for art and craft days, which are held once a week.  Students from the Interact Club will volunteer their time to assist the senior citizens in learning to paint on canvas on three of these days.  In their third project they will make 30 Christmas baskets for the seniors. 

The assistance of organizations like the Okefenoke Rural Electric Foundation, Inc. enables this school district to accomplish far more than it otherwise could have.  The Baker County Education Foundation and the Baker County High School, thank Okefenoke Rural Electric Foundation, Inc. for their support to our students and community.

Congratulations to Baker County High School on this outstanding award.
