Since its inception, the Steele-Reese Foundation has maintained a focus on the unique challenges of rural living and on helping people build healthy, successful, and sustainable communities. Eleanor Steele Reese, daughter of Charles Steele \u2013 a banker, lawyer, and business associate of J.P. Morgan \u2013 created The Steele-Reese Foundation in 1955. The Foundation\u2019s name honors Eleanor\u2019s family as well as the family of her husband, Emmet Reese, who grew up in the Appalachian foothill\u2019s community of East Bernstadt, KY.<\/p>\n

The grant to the Prichard Committee will assist in establishing a team of teachers that will design and distribute a survey to teachers in Appalachia Kentucky. Along with quantitative collection of data, stories of resilience, challenges, and bright spots will be captured and published in a report. The Appalachia Educator Alliance, led by Allison Slone from Rowan County includes Dr. Emmanuel Anama-Green, Carly Baldwin, Brison Harvey, Kera Howard, and Tiffany Perkins.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteele-Reese\u2019s support will help build a new foundation for education. It allows us to ask those closest to the process what resources and supports they need to meet students and families where they are and to ensure student learning catches up and persists in the months and years ahead,\u201d<\/em> said Brigitte Blom, President and CEO of the Prichard Committee. \u201cWe honor Steele-Reese\u2019s commitment to supporting teachers who are dedicated to improving educational attainment in Kentucky\u2019s Appalachian communities.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOur board does not see this grant as a \u201cgift\u201d to the Prichard Committee but rather as an investment,\u201d<\/em> said Judy Owens, Appalachian Director for the Steele-Reese Foundation. \u201cSteele-Reese hopes to place tools in the hands of pragmatic problem solvers as they build a community that loves and cares for children.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
