District 39 Educational Foundation Raised $55K for Wilmette Schools
The foundation has met 50 percent of its fundraising goals to fund projects that expand and enrich educational opportunities for the District 39 community.
The District 39 Educational Foundation recently presented Wilmette School Board with a check for $55,000 to help fund projects for the District 39 community, according to its newsletter. The foundation is supporting District 39 and the Wilmette Junior High School science wing renovation through a private-public partnership of the Inspiring Scientist Fund, which will help provide hands-on classroom materials to complement the new science curriculum that debuts in fall 2013. The foundation is also planning to continue the Science Olympiad program next school year; the program was unveiled at Highcrest Middle School this year.
