About the Nancy Conlon Fund:
The Nancy Conlon Kindness for Kids Fund was created to assist students at Mattoon Community Unit School District 2. Nancy, a long-time, beloved teacher in the district, passed away in October 2016. Her smile and upbeat personality were an inspiration to those who knew and loved her. Nancy had an enthusiasm for teaching and a penchant for inspiring student learning through her creativity. She was a sensitive and generous human being who placed her students’ needs at the forefront. Without fanfare or notoriety, Nancy would purchase items for students such as new clothing, shoes, or school supplies. The Nancy Conlon Kindness for Kids Fund is not only a memorial to Nancy but a tribute to all those teachers, administrators, and school personnel who have generously helped students to succeed.
