🎉✨ Throwback to one of our favorite moments from this spring! ✨🎉

We loved surprising WISD staff members with the news that they had been selected to receive a WISD Employee Education Incentive Program Scholarship. Through the district's partnership with the Foundation, each recipient was awarded $2,000 to help further their education and continue growing in their profession.

The smiles, excitement, and happy tears made these surprise visits unforgettable. Congratulations again to our recipients, and thank you to our community for supporting the Foundation, so we may continue to invest in the people who make a difference for students every day! 💚🎓

We can't wait to see the experiences that come from these grants and how this will impact our WISD students! 🏫

Thank you to our educators for all you do and thank you to our community for your support! 🤝
