Thank you to the Nell J. Redfield Foundation for hosting the 6th Annual WCSD Redfield Community Outreach Program Principal Luncheon at the Nevada Museum of Art.

We’re grateful for your continued investment that expands what’s possible for our Washoe County School District students, made even stronger through collaboration with an incredible network of community partners.

Proud to partner with participating schools:
Alice Smith Elementary, Anderson Elementary, Dilworth Middle, Dunn Elementary, Gomes Elementary, Hidden Valley Elementary, Hunter Lake Elementary, Lincoln Park Elementary, Peavine Elementary, Towles Elementary, Vaughn Middle, and Warner Elementary.

Together, we’re creating more access, more experiences, and more opportunity for every student.

We are thrilled to announce that the NV Energy Foundation is continuing its support of our Washoe County School District Middle School Engagement Program and Family Resource Centers!

Because of committed partners like NV Energy, we are making real progress in curbing chronic absenteeism and ensuring students stay motivated, engaged, and on track for success. In fact, just last year, 71% of WCSD schools improved their attendance — a powerful sign that together, we are turning the tide on a complex challenge.

Thank you, NV Energy Foundation, for investing in our students and our community!

When a community partner shows up, it matters. 💙 Meredith Williams and Brandi Ward from United Federal Credit Union visited our Washoe County School District Intervention Department to recognize the incredible work they do supporting students who struggle with attendance. They brought treats and presented their sponsorship—a meaningful boost for this student-centered work. Thank you, UFCU! 🙌

As the holidays wind down—the decorations come off the walls, batteries go into new toys, and leftovers disappear from the fridge—it’s a moment to pause and reflect.

The students in our neighborhoods rely on steady support all year long. When we help them stay connected and ready to show up, we’re investing in a stronger future for our entire community.

As the year comes to a close, a thoughtful gift helps ensure that support continues into the year ahead. You can give by visiting www.ed-alliance.org/donate

✨ In case you missed it… a little holiday magic to warm you up this rainy Christmas Eve! ✨

Earlier this month, we had the joy of celebrating the incredible students whose artwork was selected for the WCSD Holiday Card Contest. 🎨💌 Their creativity, hard work, and holiday spirit truly shined—and we are still smiling about it!

A heartfelt congratulations to each of these amazing student artists and a huge thank you to our , Nevada Museum of Art and Scheels, for generously donating gift packages to honor their achievements. Your support helps make moments like this possible 🎁✨

Wishing our students, families, and partners a warm, joyful Christmas Eve filled with creativity, gratitude, and cheer ❤️🎄

Imagine what changes when a student goes from missing 10 days of school to showing up consistently:
✅ stronger reading skills
✅ better mental health
✅ connection to peers
✅ trusted adults
✅ steady progress
✅ hope for the future
That’s what attendance unlocks. And it’s what your gift supports.
This GivingTuesday, Education Alliance is raising support to reduce chronic absenteeism and help more students stay connected to school — every day.

As Thanksgiving approaches, we’re feeling especially grateful for the people who help make our mission possible—our Board of Directors.

For the 11th consecutive year, they earned the Community Foundation of Northern Nevada’s 100% Board Giving Award! This kind of leadership and generosity sets the tone for everything we do and the impact we’re able to create in our community.

Please join us in celebrating and thanking this incredible group for leading with heart, commitment, and unwavering support. 🙌
