Teacher takeaway
“CEF gave my students access to tools I never could’ve afforded in my classroom budget.”
“
Get Involved
who benefits?
— Dr. Cathy Sork, Principal, Dorothy Fox Elementary School
“CEF is directly connected to the classroom and learning outcomes. They are looking to fund programs that excited teachers have dreamed up. Projects that people are wanting to implement, that we know are great for kids, that spark that gets students so excited about learning but that building budgets would never be able to accommodate. CEF is that place that makes things possible.”
