White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation

 

The White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation, a nonprofit corporation, was formed in 1993 to help our District provide excellence in education to all of our students.  Past and present members of our board have worked tirelessly to support education programs that are in alignment with the District's priorities.

 

The White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation (WBLAEF) supports public education with the help of local businesses, alumni, and community members. The Foundation administers teaching grants, scholarships, fellowships for teachers, an Angel Fund for families with special economic needs, and works closely with the White Bear Lake Area Alumni Association.

The WBLAEF has a rich history of supporting students, staff and families of the White Bear Lake Area School District. By partnering with members of our alumni, our school community and local businesses, we continue to enrich the educational experiences of students and staff.

 

The financial goal of the Foundation is to have a $700,000 unrestricted endowment by the year 2014.

 

Our Legacy Fund was established to fund future programs.

 

In furthering its mission to enhance the School District’s ability to provide excellence in education,

the Foundation will be funding programs to support school initiatives which promote and foster

that commitment to excellence. With a focus on Excellence in Teaching and Learning as well as

Student Support and Recognition, the Foundation will support students in acquiring knowledge,

skills and abilities to prepare them to be successful citizens of a global society. Educators within

our district nurture innovation and create a culture that pushes students to do their best in

today’s changing world. The Foundation is committed to seeing these innovations and initiatives benefit all students in the District.

 

The Johnson Student Enrichment Scholarship and The BEAR Grant are two examples of how the Legacy Fund is supporting students and educators in the District.
