The Watauga Education Foundation is a nonprofit made up of a hard-working board of volunteers. WEF's mission is to support educators who foster a love of learning via grant awards that are used by classroom teachers.
Last October, WEF awarded a total of $19,911 in grant funds to 22 local educators. Community-oriented events such as the Flapjack Flip and Shooting Stars raise funds to support WEF's mission. The vision of WEF is to improve and enhance the success of every student in the Watauga County School System by enrichment of classroom instruction by promoting innovative educational experiences, with the highest goal being for each student to reach his or her ultimate potential.
