Update since COVID and speak about upcoming A Taste for Education

 

The mission of the Weatherford ISD Education Foundation is to generate and distribute resources for programs that enhance the educational experience of our children and teachers. For twenty years, the Weatherford ISD Education Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, has provided funding that allows Weatherford ISD teachers to implement creative learning projects for students in Pre-K to 12th grade through our grant awards program. We also provide new school supplies and backpacks for students whose families need support and give scholarships that allow our teachers to continue their education.

 

In 2018, the Education Foundation added a new funding priority called Heather's Books. Launched in memory of Ikard Elementary teacher Heather Holland, the Education Foundation gives $10 to each Pre-K student in Weatherford ISD to purchase books from their school's fall and spring book fairs. The Education Foundation is honored to fund this program that continues Heather's passion to instill a love of reading in children.
