WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!
The schools are alive with excitement and we love having our students and teachers back and working hard. We at the Chandler Education Foundation (CEF) are looking forward to providing the extra support they will need as they strive for a successful school year.
Of course, we wouldn't be able to do it without the support of our amazing community. As you look through our newsletter, please look for opportunities where you might be able to get involved and make a difference in the lives of our students. Together, we will accomplish spectacular things!
Here's to a great 2017-18 school year!
Sincerely,
Jen Hewitt
Executive Director

BIG IMPACT GRANTS
CEF is always looking at how to create a bigger impact to more students and teachers in the Chandler School District. The Big Impact Grant is a way we can do that. Funding from this grant serves district wide programs and needs. Through this grant, CEF has funded initiatives and partnerships with Treasurers for Teachers allowing all elementary schools access to free supplies delivered directly to their school. CEF has funded a PE Curriculum for all 3rd through 6th grade students allowing them to be more physically active, teaching them nutritional skills and assessing their activity levels.
