Windsor Educational Foundation

Last Friday, WE welcomed Windsor's educational, business, and community leaders at our 10th Annual Scholarship Breakfast. From the Mayor of Windsor to the Sonoma County Superintendent of Schools and Superintendent of WUSD, Principals, counselors, teachers, administrators, students, local business owners and managers, and even the founders of the scholarship breakfast event itself, WE came together as a community to support WUSD students - raising more than $40,000 for college scholarships along the way. We also heard from two gifted students who hope to earn one of our college scholarships to further their educational and career goals.

In the weeks ahead, please follow us as we recognize our incredible event sponsors who made this year a success, and on behalf of our entire Board, WE sincerely thank all those who attended, donated, or sponsored for your incredible generosity and support of our marquee program this year, and over the last 10 years. The WE Foundation Board of Directors is filled with gratitude for the outpouring of love and support from the Windsor community! Cheers to 10 years!!❤️

The WE Foundation is proud to continue our partnership with SchoolsRule Sonoma County! Last month, the WE Foundation was awarded $12,361.49 from SchoolsRule to support programs focused on literacy, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), student well-being, and agriculture and hospitality in the Windsor Unified School District.

This is the second year of SchoolsRule's partnership with Sonoma County schools and local education foundations. Last year, the WE Foundation received $10,067.50 from SchoolsRule in its inaugural year, which the WE Foundation reinvested back into our schools following a competitive grant process with all WUSD campuses to fund the following initiatives:

- $2,500 to Cali Calmécac Language Academy for their campus beautification program.
- $2,500 to Brooks Elementary School for flexible seating for students.
- $2,500 to Windsor Middle School for a new, Farm-to-Fork Culinary Garden Program.
- $2,500 to Windsor High School to support WHS' food science program.

We look forward to collaborating with WUSD schools to continue investing in our schools during the 2025-26 school year. If you're a parent, teacher or staff member in the WUSD and have SchoolsRule funding ideas, please send us a DM or email us at [email protected]. YOU CAN ALSO HELP SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT SCHOOLSRULE: Redwood Credit Union, a founding sponsor of SchoolsRule Sonoma County, has launched an incredible opportunity: every time a Sonoma County RCU member uses their debit or credit card, RCU donates to SchoolsRule. Please share this opportunity with your school community - and please like, comment or share our recent posts about it! The more we raise, the more our schools benefit. Thank you to RCU for this amazing opportunity!
