🍓🌱 Learning Comes to Life Beyond the Classroom! 🌱🍓

Some lessons are best learned by experiencing them firsthand.

Thanks to an Illumination Award submitted by Mrs. Madison Ratley, second-grade students had the opportunity to visit Froberg's Farm for a hands-on educational experience they won't soon forget.

During their visit, students learned how strawberries grow, explored the journey from farm to table, and even discovered how to identify when strawberries are ripe and ready to pick. What they learned in the classroom came to life in a way that only real-world experiences can provide.

Mrs. Ratley shared that the project exceeded expectations and created lasting memories while deepening students' understanding of agriculture, food production, and the world around them.

🍓 For these students, this wasn't just a field trip—it was an opportunity to connect learning to real life, ask questions, explore, and discover.

✨ This is the power of an Illumination Award.

And opportunities like this are only possible because of our amazing community of supporters. Every sponsorship of Pulling for Education Sporting Clays, every ticket purchased to Purse Bingo, every supporter of our Gala, and every donor who invests in the Santa Fe TX Education Foundation helps create meaningful experiences that extend learning beyond the classroom walls.

Because of your generosity, students are gaining experiences that inspire curiosity, create lasting memories, and spark a love of learning.

💙 Together, we're helping students grow, explore, and discover a world of possibilities.

📚✨ Building Confident Readers, One Student at a Time ✨📚

When Mrs. Ana B***e saw an opportunity to strengthen literacy skills and boost student confidence, she turned to an Illumination Award to help make it happen.

Thanks to her Express Readers Grant, more than 100 students have already benefited from a structured reading program designed to improve fluency, decoding skills, comprehension, and overall confidence—and the impact will continue for years to come.

Teachers have seen students become more engaged, more willing to participate, and more confident reading aloud in small-group settings. Through consistent progress monitoring, students demonstrated growth in reading fluency, comprehension, and foundational literacy skills.

One of the greatest strengths of the program has been its simple, structured approach that makes implementation easy for teachers while helping students build skills step by step toward success.

💙 But the real impact goes beyond the data.

Mrs. B***e shared that this project has helped students grow into more confident, successful readers who are excited to learn. By providing the right tools and support, students are learning to believe in themselves and achieve more than they thought possible.

✨ This is what happens when innovative educators have great ideas and a community stands behind them.

Every sponsorship of Pulling for Education Sporting Clays, every ticket purchased to Purse Bingo, every supporter of our Gala, and every donor who invests in the Santa Fe TX Education Foundation helps bring opportunities like this to life.

Because of your generosity, students are gaining skills that will impact them far beyond the classroom.

🥎💙 Investing in Student Athletes. Strengthening a Program. Building for the Future. 💙🥎

Thanks to an Illumination Award submitted by Coach Andrew "Coach Whit" Whittington, Santa Fe High School softball athletes now have access to equipment that is making an impact every day on the field.

The grant provided new pitching and hitting mats, along with resistance bands that support arm strength development and proper arm care. These resources have quickly become an important part of the team's daily training and preparation.

Today, athletes are benefiting from:
🥎 Two new hitting mats in the batting cages
🥎 Two new pitching mats in the bullpen
🥎 18 resistance bands so every player has access to their own during warmups and training

Not only are these resources helping athletes improve their skills and performance, but they are also helping protect facilities, preserve newly installed turf, and support long-term player development.

Coach Whit shared that his athletes immediately embraced the new equipment, and the impact has been felt throughout the program.

✨ This is what happens when innovative educators and coaches identify a need and our community steps up to help meet it.

Every sponsorship of Pulling for Education Sporting Clays, every Purse Bingo ticket purchased, every supporter of our Gala, and every donor who invests in the Santa Fe TX Education Foundation helps fund opportunities like this for students across SFISD.

Because of your generosity, students are gaining access to the tools, resources, and experiences they need to grow—not only as athletes, but as future leaders.

💙 Thank you, Coach Whit, for your commitment to student success, and thank you to our incredible community for making Illumination Awards possible.

💙✨ Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs begin with helping a student feel safe, calm, and ready to learn. ✨💙

Thanks to an Illumination Award submitted by Ms. Cassandra Johnson, students now have access to sensory supports that are making a meaningful difference every single day.

Through her Sensory Support Grant, Ms. Johnson created an environment where students can regulate their emotions while remaining engaged in learning. By pairing sensory tools with academic activities, students are able to calm their bodies, refocus their minds, and return to instruction with confidence.

One standout success has been the sensory spin chairs, which quickly became an essential classroom resource. Ms. Johnson shared that students use them daily to help manage frustration, regulate emotions, and successfully transition back into learning.

This year alone, the grant supported 10 students, resulting in increased self-regulation, smoother transitions, and fewer behavioral escalations. Even better, these durable resources will continue supporting students for years to come.

🌟 For Ms. Johnson, the goal was simple: provide students with meaningful ways to regulate and return to learning with confidence. Thanks to this project, that goal became a reality.

And it is only possible because of the incredible support of our community. Every sponsorship of Pulling for Education Sporting Clays, every Purse Bingo ticket purchased, every Gala supporter, and every donor who invests in the Santa Fe TX Education Foundation helps bring projects like this to life.

Because of your generosity, students have the tools and support they need to thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.

💙 Together, we're creating opportunities that empower every student to succeed.

💙🌟 Connecting Generations. Showcasing Students. Building Community. 🌟💙

What started as a small idea with just five participants has grown into one of the most meaningful community engagement programs in Santa Fe ISD.

Thanks to an Illumination Award submitted by Jenny Davenport, Assistant Superintendent of HR & Communications, and Stephanie Lyssy, Communications Specialist, the Senior Warriors program continued to thrive this year, bringing together students and senior citizens through hands-on learning experiences and meaningful connections.

Through four engaging sessions, community members had the opportunity to learn directly from students in our Photography & Digital Media, Ag Mechanics, Dental, and Future Educators programs. Students shared their career pathways, demonstrated their skills, and led interactive activities that allowed participants to experience CTE learning firsthand.

What began with just a handful of attendees has now grown to a consistent 25-30 participants per session, with one session welcoming an incredible 40 community members!

The impact reaches far beyond the classroom. Senior Warriors has become a powerful way to showcase the talent, professionalism, and bright futures of SFISD students while building relationships with community members who have become some of our district's strongest advocates.

✨ This is exactly what community-driven education looks like.

And it is only possible because of the generous donors, sponsors, and supporters who invest in our mission. Every sponsorship of Pulling for Education Sporting Clays, every Purse Bingo ticket purchased, every Gala supporter, and every donor helps bring innovative ideas like Senior Warriors to life.

Together, we're not only investing in students—we're strengthening connections across generations and building pride in Santa Fe ISD.

💙 One Tribe. One Community. Endless Possibilities.
