A New School Year Begins!

The school year is underway, and teachers have been working to prepare welcoming, inspiring classrooms and plan for an enriching year for Winters children. 

Did you know that teachers on average spend $915 annually of their own money for school supplies? What’s more, 26% of teachers responding to a recent survey say they have taken a second job, side hustle, or summer job to balance the expenses of their first job.

Your Donations Fund Mini-Grants for Teachers

Winters Education Foundation offers Mini-Grants to teachers in Winters public schools to help bring creative classroom ideas to life, funding projects that inspire students,          strengthen learning, and expand opportunities. They're 100% funded by donations from the community (so thank YOU!).

At Winters Education Foundation, our mission is to ensure every child in a Winters public school classroom has access to excellent and equitable educational opportunities. We’re proud to partner with the dedicated teachers and staff of Winters JUSD who make these ideas a reality every day!
