Carroll Education Foundation


CEF 2024-2025 Calendar of Events

Helping fund our teachers is the most tangible way we as a community can support not only our amazing teachers but all Dragon students as well.

 

If every family in CISD became a friend of CEF, they could gift ALL teachers a $2,500 end-of-year gift, as well as support Teacher Scholarships and financial awards for our Teachers of the Year! Imagine the impact your $1 a day could make!

 

If you would like to donate, simply go to www.carrolleducationfoundation.org and click the DONATE NOW! button. You can also text the word TELETHON to 44321 and follow the link. Together, let’s show our teachers how much we appreciate them!
