Teachers, administrators, volunteers and parents: Please see the updated links on the left in the “Links” menu for applications for Professional Development and Innovative grants. Applications will be accepted up through May 22, 2010, and grants will be announced the week of June 7. Will your project be one that carries the total monies awarded by WEF above the $100,000 mark?!?! Guidelines for grants are accessible at the links above. Celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week With WEF This year, Teacher Appreciation Week is May 2 – May 8. Want to thank a special teacher or staff member for an outstanding job? The Westford Education Foundation can help. Please consider sending a WEF card to your favorite teacher, teacher’s aide, counselor, school nurse, office staff member, or principal. It’s the perfect way to say thank you and support innovation in Westford schools at the same time. Money generated from these cards will be used to fund grants for the Westford Public School system. Just make a tax-deductible donation (minimum of $10) to Westford Education Foundation, and WEF will send the honoree a professionally printed WEF card with a personalized note. The card will state the donor’s name, but will not disclose the amount donated. Donors may also opt to send the cards themselves. The Westford Education Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting excellence in education. WEF funds grants to teachers, staff, and community members for innovative educational initiatives, professional development, and life-long learning ventures. You may download the form from this link: http://wefweb.org/downloads/teacher-appreciation-week.pdf. Donors will receive confirmation letters when cards are delivered to recipients. WEF is grateful for the support.
Big Event tickets are now available for ordering online or with this printable form. If you can’t find just the right card or gift to show your appreciation for the wonderful job your child’s teacher or a special staff member has done, then the Westford Education Foundation has the answer. Send a WEF Holiday Card to your favorite teacher, counselor, teacher’s aide, school nurse, office staff or principal. It’s a perfect way to say thank you, and support innovation in Westford schools at the same time! This is also a great idea for class gifts. Just make a tax-deductible donation (minimum of $10) to Westford Education Foundation and we will send your honoree a professionally printed WEF holiday card with a personalized note. The card will state your name, but does not disclose the amount of your gift. (Ask about getting the card directly if you or your child would prefer to deliver it yourself!)
