WOW – more neighbors gave to CEF on than ever before in a single day! ♥️🖤

Thank you to the families who gave, the local businesses who stepped up, the individuals who shared our cause, and the board members who spent a morning planting yard signs across all campuses.

Grants, scholarships, and a lot of small moments in between – we can't wait to show you every one!

Happy Labor Day to the people doing some of the hardest work in Coppell ISD 🖤♥️ l.ead.me/cefntx

Teachers, counselors, librarians, bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria staff: the folks who show up for thousands of Coppell ISD kids every day, usually before the sun's up.

The Coppell ISD Education Foundation exists to say thank you in ways that actually help: classroom grants, welcome gifts for brand-new teachers, and recognition for the ones who've given decades to this district.

Early giving for North Texas Giving Day is open now, and every dollar stays local.
