"Thanks to the Foundation for your steadfast and much needed support of the schools. The positive difference you have made is profound!"

Kathy Bodie, Former Winchester School Committee Member

The generosity of WFEE's donors makes a difference in every school, every day. Here is what WFEE is providing for the 2009-2010 school year:

• Nearly $69,000 in education grants that touch every child in the Winchester public schools;
  
  
• Professional development grants totaling more than $40,000 which will enable our teachers to excel in the classroom through their participation in innovative courses and seminars.

Grant proposals this year involved the use of everything from Kindles to puppets and high tech software to low tech magnets. While WFEE did not identify purchasing technology as a system wide initiative this year, it did fund individual grants for interactive whiteboards, electronic tablets and additional software.
