ENROLLMENT IS OPEN NOW THROUGH FRIDAY, OCT. 7!

All ESSD employees are invited to join the Employee Giving Program and make a gift to the Educational Foundation through payroll deduction. Every dollar contributed—big or small—makes a lasting impact for our students, your fellow teachers and staff members, and the community. 

Thank you to our current donors! In 2021, 72 ESSD employees generously gave to the Education Foundation by personally donating through the payroll deduction, raising more than $9,700!

All donations received go directly to the Teacher Grants Fund to support teachers and staff members as they create unique and innovative ways to enhance the students’ educational experiences.

Learn more about Teacher Grants and check out our 2021-2022 grant recipients.

Join the Employee Giving Program and help us increase our impact with more funding for teacher grants and learning opportunities for our students. Together, we can make a difference!
