Wylie ISD Education Foundation gave gift cards to first year teachers entering the school district to help establish their classrooms.

The Wylie ISD Education Foundation is excited to announce the outcome of its Get Up & Give campaign that took place on Thursday, September 13. The Foundation received a total of $26,555 in donations that will be matched by a percent still to be determined by Communities Foundation of Texas (CFT), with the support of the Dallas Foundation and the Center for Nonprofit Management.

The event was sponsored for non-profits in the North Texas area, and to qualify for a match the donation through www.DonorBridgeTX.org must have been $25 and above between the hours of 7 A.M. and midnight.

Executive Director, Jordan Adams, couldn’t be more grateful for the donors who “got up and gave” Adams said, “These donations are just proof that our community deems educating the kids of Wylie ISD important. Herbert Hoover was right when he said that ‘Children are our most valuable resource.’ Thank you again for your support.”
