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.

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!)
