president's message
We are so glad that you have come to the Fullerton Education Foundation website. Through the support of innovation for education, the Foundation supports programs to enrich the education of students and support staff. To date the Foundation has donated almost $3,000,000 in support.
Initially, the foundation provided major support for laptops in our schools. As the District was able to take over that need, the Foundation has provided teacher training, field trips for financially challenged students, plus grants for teachers and school with creative vision and need. We have also been helping families needing emergency support during Covid.
Annually, the Education Foundation holds a fun community event. Students are showcased alongside the most innovative technologies of the day. Teachers and principals, and corporations, alongside community members and elected representatives spend a beautiful evening together as they donate to our programs. One of the special programs we support is Robot Nation. Hundreds of K-8 students from our 20 schools compete in robotic competitions.
Through the Ed Foundation, our entire community has embraced the advancement of exemplary education throughout Fullerton public schools. Our community is aware of our programs and honors. Through communication community pride in our schools abounds
