How You Can Help Us Raise a Strong Foundation

Jingle Bell Jog The second Saturday in December is when the Education Foundation hosts its annual Jingle Bell Jog.  The Jingle Bell Jog was created during the 2007 school year as a 1 Mile Fun Run.  The purpose of the Jingle Bell Jog is another way for the foundation to raise funds, as well as to serve as a community-wide event.  In 2008 a 5K was added to the Jingle Bell Jog to accommodate the district's secondary students and more adult participants.  Click here for more information about the Jingle Bell Jog.   Work-of-Heart Employee Giving Campaign Every year EM-S ISD employees have an opportunity to give back to the foundation through the annual Work-of-Heart Campaign.  The Work-of-Heart Campaign allows employees to invest in their workplace by making a tax-deductible donation to the EM-S ISD Education Foundation. Donations can be paid with cash or check. For added convenience, employees can also have their donation automatically deducted from their paycheck in monthly installments. Golf Classic  The Annual Golf Classic is the largest fundraiser for the Education Foundation.  The Golf Classic is held in July at Sky Creek Ranch in Keller, Texas.  Click here to view images, sponsors and the 2009 Golf Classic winners.   Individual Contributions The Education Foundation also has many individual and/or organizational contributors.  If an individual or an organization is interested in giving a scholarship in honor of, or in memory of, a family member or loved one or would like to make a blanket contribution to the permanent endowment they can contact the EM-S ISD Education Foundation.  All donations are tax deductible.
