Dr. Jim and Peggie Morrow began the Morrow Family Foundation many years ago providing devices and hotspots to thousands of students, and Forsyth County Schools is very grateful for their work. In 2022, they moved their foundation to the Forsyth County Education Foundation, a fund of North Georgia Community Foundation.

The Forsyth County Education Foundation is committed to growing the Dr. Jim and Peggie Morrow Glow Run for Educators 5K. Until 2022, the foundation focused on providing school grants with the Duck Dive for Education fundraiser, held each spring, but with the addition of the Dr. Jim and Peggie Morrow Glow Run for Educators 5K (formerly the iChallenge), the foundation has expanded its reach to a new area of need – ensuring we have the best of the best teaching and supporting our students!

Forsyth County Schools is not immune to the teacher and school counselor shortage facing our nation. We have found recent success “growing our own” by establishing teacher prep programs at all Forsyth County high schools but have faced a large void when it comes to supporting the educational needs of current paraprofessionals (teacher assistants) who wish to advance to a teaching position and teachers who wish to advance to a school counselor role. From the iChallenge in 2022 and 2023, the foundation gave out 33 staff scholarships to those deserving educators. This year, we look forward to giving out more staff scholarships to FCS educators who wish to pursue further education.

The 1 Mile Fun Run will be four loops on the Forsyth Central High School Track.
