EDUCATION FOUNDATION INNOVATION CELEBRATION E
nd of the school year means many things to many people, and thanks to Jarrell Education Foundation classroom grants, it means greater resources for teachers in the next school year. In May, the Foundation awarded more than $35,000 for 16 projects across the district for innovation in learning, arts, fluency, and sensory needs. Once these programs are set in motion, they will serve and benefit our staff and students for years to come. The Jarrell Education Foundation is a nonprofit organization established in 2019 to enhance student learning through innovative opportunities that promote academic excellence. The board of directors represents many dedicated parents and partners in Jarrell who share a vision for excellence in our schools. The board is deeply committed to partnering with parents, teachers, and the community to support and enhance the education of all students in the Jarrell Independent School District. “I believe thriving schools and happy teachers can help build thriving and happy communities,” Education Foundation President Sarah McLellan says. “The Jarrell Education Foundation works to raise money to fund innovative ideas for enhancing classroom learning and opportunities for teacher training. By donating to JEF you are investing in Jarrell schools, students, and teachers!”
