South Lake Tahoe, CA – In a testament to its impactful contributions to the educational landscape of South Lake Tahoe, the Marcella Foundation has been bestowed with the Outstanding Community Organization award by the El Dorado County School Board Association. Recognized for its dedication to enriching the lives of local students, the Foundation’s remarkable initiatives have garnered praise and admiration from the educational community.

Nominated by the Lake Tahoe Unified School District, the Marcella Foundation’s inaugural year has been marked by a series of transformative endeavors aimed at empowering students and fostering academic success. Notably, the Foundation’s support of South Tahoe High School’s “Excel-erate” program has provided crucial mentorship and guidance tailored to the needs of first-generation students, addressing their unique challenges head-on.

Moreover, the Foundation’s backing of the STHS “FLEX” program underscores its commitment to innovative educational approaches. This pioneering scheduling initiative, which allows teachers to engage students in enrichment activities thrice weekly, has garnered praise for its effectiveness in supplementing traditional classroom learning.

Central to the Marcella Foundation’s ethos is its fervent dedication to promoting literacy and a love for reading among young learners. Through initiatives like BookMode, which equips every 2nd grader at Sierra House Elementary School with a Kindle, the Foundation aims to instill a lifelong passion for literature from an early age. Additionally, its partnership with Lift Literature has facilitated the Great Library Refresh Project of South Lake Tahoe, ensuring that school libraries remain vibrant hubs of learning and exploration.

Beyond its educational endeavors, the Marcella Foundation has extended its reach into the wider community, supporting initiatives such as the Sierra House Ballet Club’s attendance at the Nutcracker and piloting the Momentum Mentors program at Tallac High School, fostering meaningful connections between students and community mentors.

Expressing gratitude for the prestigious accolade, Sean Fannan, Founder of the Marcella Foundation, emphasized the collective effort driving the Foundation’s success. “This award speaks volumes about the dedication of our team and the invaluable support of educators within the Lake Tahoe Unified School District,” remarked Fannan. “Our mission of ‘feed, read, and lead’ is not just a slogan; it’s a commitment to effecting positive change in our community.”

The recognition from the El Dorado County School Board Association serves as a poignant reminder of the pivotal role that collaborative partnerships play in enhancing educational opportunities and shaping the future of our youth. Established in 2023 by Sean Fannan, the Marcella Foundation remains steadfast in its mission to enact meaningful change, serving as a beacon of hope and inspiration for South Lake Tahoe and beyond. Through its unwavering dedication to “FEED, READ, and LEAD,” the Foundation continues to chart a path toward a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
