The Warrior Run Community Education Foundation (WRCEF) supports students, educators, and the school district by funding innovative projects, professional development, and facility improvements. Its Youth in Philanthropy (YIP) program empowers high school students to learn about philanthropy and allocate real grants to community organizations, awarding $5,000 annually. WRCEF also provides Classroom Innovation Grants to teachers and operates in partnership with the Community Giving Foundation as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3). Through these initiatives, WRCEF strengthens education and community engagement in the Warrior Run School District.

WRCEF President Jean Hormell presented to the WR School Board exciting news of the fall Innovation Classroom Grants. Totaling $27,000, the grants will support 11 approved applications. As of this date, the Foundation has raised over $1.3 million dollars. In the last two years, over $200,000 of Foundation funds, including $100,000 for the stadium Jumbotron, has been invested in programs impacting every student at Warrior Run. There is still much need and opportunity for the WR community to partner with the School Board and the Foundation in growing possibilities for the WRSD. 
There may be more deletions on the right in the blue in due time. Have to look to see which of those old newsletters should just be gone……plus those old lists of givers by year. Any suggestions are welcome.
