The WFEE exists to support innovation and excellence in the Winchester Public Schools. Founded in 1992, we provide private money to fund initiatives that are beyond the reach of public funds. We remain committed to projects that encourage creativity but are always mindful of the changing needs of the public school system.

Thanks to the generosity of this community, we have donated more than $1.8 million dollars to the Winchester public schools since 2003.  Our initiatives have touched every student in the district through:

• Technology – the purchase of laptop computers for full time teachers at McCall Middle School, all elementary teachers grades 1-5 and many elementary specialists providing special education service. We've provided major funding to support to the wireless environment at Winchester High school, allowing for LCD projectors in all classroom;
• Education and professional development grants – annual seed money for creative projects that span every public school in Winchester.  The 2009-2010 grants program is providing nearly $110, 000 to teachers in pursuit of excellence in the classroom;
• The Promise Fund – a two year effort that channeled $860,000 to maintain teaching positions across the district.

The Trustees of WFEE believe that by inspiring a teacher you influence a whole generation.  Thank you for your commitment to education.
