EDUCATION FOUNDATION

Suamico Pavilion

In June 2023, Suamico Elementary unveiled a new outdoor pavilion, which will allow for hands-on, outdoor learning experiences. The pavilion was generously donated to the school by the Hmielewski/Kolaszewski Family.

A donation such as this is one example of how generous gifts and partnerships can make a world of difference in our students’ education. We are grateful for the Hmielewski/Kolaszewski Family and all who partner with HSSD who allow us to make our vision come alive.
