Teacher Appreciation Week is May 2 – 6, 2011. 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, counselor, teacher’s aide, school nurse, office staff member, or principal. It’s a 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 per card) to Westford Education Foundation and we will send your honoree a professionally printed WEF card with a personalized note. The card will state your name, but will not disclose the amount of your gift. Ask about getting the card directly if you or your child would prefer to deliver it yourself!

The Westford Education Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization that promotes excellence in education. We fund grants to teachers, staff and the community for innovative educational initiatives, professional development and life-long learning ventures. All of this would not be possible without the support of our community and people like you.

time! This is also a great idea for class gifts.

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!)
