The Waco ISD Education Foundation's "SurPrize Patrol" has once again produced hundreds of smiles throughout the district by awarding almost $100,000 in classroom grants. The decisions were tough, but 28 grants were awarded that will reach all 32 campuses. The Foundation is pleased to have so many fantastic teachers in Waco ISD with creative ideas about how to do more in the classroom. Through their motivation and the Foundation's funding, we are truly Raising the Power of Education in Waco!
