The Foundation’s primary focus will be on providing resources
for needs identified as critical to students’ success by specific
educators, schools or districts, as well as for solutions to
systemic issues that are identified as roadblocks by educators. It
will also recognize the dedication of Horace Mann employees to
making their communities a better place by helping to support
causes important to them.
“We’re inspired by educators’ commitment to their students,
especially during this past year. Educators have gone above and
beyond to try to reach and engage every student, whether in a
classroom or through a computer screen,” said Horace Mann Educators
Corporation (Horace Mann) President and CEO Marita Zuraitis. “For
more than 75 years, Horace Mann has helped educators protect what
they have today and prepare for a successful tomorrow. Forming the
Horace Mann Educators Foundation builds on that history by
supporting educators in their efforts to ensure every student has
the best opportunity possible to be successful.”
Supporting Social-Emotional Learning in Springfield
As Horace Mann was founded by two educators from the Springfield
School District, it is fitting that the inaugural Foundation grant
go to Springfield Public Schools. The $25,000 grant will enable the
district to provide Second Step, a web-based social-emotional
learning (SEL) program to all of the district’s elementary and
middle school classrooms. The web-based program covers concepts
like goal setting, emotion management and problem solving.
“Teaching concepts, vocabulary and activities associated with
social-emotional learning will help our students to be more engaged
with school,” said Springfield Public Schools Superintendent
Jennifer Gill. “This is especially critical as students navigate
the transition back to in-school learning from a remote learning
environment. We are grateful to the Foundation for allowing
District 186 to provide this resource to our teachers and
students.”
Supporting employee efforts to make a positive impact
The Foundation will also begin to match annual Horace Mann
employee donations to nonprofit organizations of up to $100 per
employee.
“Horace Mann is a mission-centric organization, and supporting
our communities is important to our employees,” Zuraitis said. “We
want to help in their efforts to make their communities a better
place, and look forward to working with them to support great local
organizations.”
