Word From WSFEE
Western Springs Foundation for Educational Excellence (WSFEE) is excited for the 2023 - 2024 school year. WSFEE is an all-volunteer Board made up of parents in District 101 from all four schools. Our goal is to bring parents, teachers and the community together to enhance the education of D101 students. We do this by raising funds through special events and donations and allocating those funds to bring ideas to life through grants submitted by teachers, administrators, parents, and students. Be sure to stop by the WSFEE sponsored petting zoo at the WSBA Fall Festival Visit wsfee.org or follow WSFEE on Facebook or Instagram (@wsfee_d101) to hear about recent grants, events and sponsorship opportunities throughout the year.
