Through the Class Circles Challenge, your class can raise $10,000 to establish a permanent endowed fund—your Class Circle—that will support Quincy Public Schools students for generations to come. This fund will provide critical resources for technology access, arts and music education, mental health services, athletics, and college and career readiness—ensuring every Blue Devil has the opportunity to thrive.It’s a meaningful way to give back to the community that helped launch your journey.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of a couple of classmates, your Class Circle fund is already taking shape. But this is only the beginning. Every additional donation strengthens the fund and expands its impact. Each gift helps build a stronger, more supportive school system—one where students, educators, and the entire QPS community are empowered to help young people succeed.

Culturally, the year was vibrant, with the release of iconic films like Rain Man, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Coming to America, Big, and Die Hard, which not only entertained but also left lasting impressions on pop culture. Additionally, the animated film Akira introduced many to the world of Japanese anime, influencing future generations of artists and storytellers.
