Pony Possible starts with a yes

What happens when a good idea gets a little help?

Every day, educators across Stillwater Area Public Schools come up with ideas to help their students learn, grow, and discover what's possible. Sometimes, those ideas need a little extra support to become reality.

Public funding provides the foundation for public education. Community support helps build on that foundation — making hands-on learning experiences possible, giving students space and support to navigate challenges, and helping them discover interests and possibilities they might never have encountered otherwise.

That's where The Partnership Plan comes in. We connect community generosity with the creativity and expertise of educators, helping bring meaningful ideas to life for students across our schools.

Pony Possible is our fall fundraising campaign and our biggest opportunity of the year to invite our community into that work. Your support helps us say yes to more good ideas, more meaningful experiences, and more possibilities for students.

A good idea is a starting point. Together, we can help it go somewhere.

You hear a lot about our schools. This is a chance to hear directly from the teachers who make them special.

Join us for an evening of stories and informal conversation with educators about their ideas, their students, and the experiences they’ve helped bring to life — with a little help from a community willing to say yes.

Hear their perspectives. Learn what inspires them. And see what can happen when a good idea meets the support to make it possible. Our featured speakers:

❋ Jenny Hanlon, M.Ed., ECFE Parent, Child, and Family Educator
❋ Peter Stenross, AP Environmental Science and Biology Teacher

From PreK STEM exploration to Trout in the Classroom, see what hands-on environmental learning can look like across a student's journey in our schools.

❋ Tate Schoeberlein, District Behavior Specialist & Coordinator of Special Education & Green Rooms

Why having a place to pause, regulate, and reset can make all the difference for a student’s wellbeing — and their learning.

❋ Bob Manning, Career Pathways Coordinator
❋ Rachel Steil, MJE, English Teacher & Career Pathways Coordinator

The story of a good idea donor support helped launch — and what the Career Pathways Program has become today.

There are lots of ways to say yes.

Give. Come hear the stories. Share Pony Possible with someone else.

However you participate, you're helping build a community where good ideas have a chance to become real experiences for students.
