Education Foundation
There are many different ways to contribute to the Fort Zumwalt Education Foundation. While the majority of our contributions come from employees through payroll deduction, there are other opportunities to get involved.
Two fundraising events are held each year to promote the Grow Your Own Teachers program, which include Taste of Fort Zumwalt in the Fall, and the Fort Zumwalt Education Foundation Golf Tournament in the spring. These events not only raise funds for the foundation, but also help build a sense of community and camaraderie among the school district and the community. Volunteering your time and donating items for silent auctions or event promotion are also great ways to contribute.
Other ways donations have been received:
- A retiring teacher asked that retirement gifts to her be made as a donation to the education foundation. Contribution total = $1080.
- Another teacher donated sick day reimbursement to the education foundation when she retired.
Contribution total = $400.
-Special Person's Recognition: Many parents and students have chosen to recognize a special educator who has made a difference in their lives. This is a great way to recognize service to an individual, a school, the district or the greater community.
