Foundation of Excellence
The Barbers Hill ISD Education Foundation is a non-profi t organization designed to help educators implement creative learning projects for students preK-12. At the heart of the Foundation are the corporate and individual friends of Barbers Hill who believe in the value of education and are willing to invest in the leaders of tomorrow. Through the tax-deductible donations of these individuals and businesses, the Education Foundation can provide grants directly to educators who have fresh, new ideas for programs that help students not only learn, but remember.
“Th e Education Foundation grant allowed me to create science and social studies kits that reinforce skills taught in the classroom. Th rough the hands-on games and activities, my students have devel-oped a greater love for science. Th ey will all tell you that their favorite thing about science is getting to ‘touch neat stuff .’ ”
Kari SagerElementary School Teacher
