DID YOU KNOW?

When you consider how much educators give of themselves to make sure students have what they need to learn and grow, it's easy to imagine how little they have left at the end of the day. But many of our district's employees also personally support MEF's efforts.

Many Maize educators contribute through a payroll donation option. Last school year, USD266 employees donated more than $12,000 in support of Maize Education Foundation programs throughout the district. That's nearly enough to fund 25 Student Grants. 

Did you know that if 100 people will pledge just $10/month, we could match that contribution?

Who will help us to meet that goal? We CHALLENGE you to make your pledge today.

Each year, MEF dedicates GivingTuesday to appreciate the staff of USD266. While educators are typically celebrated in May, the month of November statistically proves to be the lowest in overall morale for school staff.

Our staff appreciation week is an opportunity for the community to celebrate the excellent teachers, support staff, and administration in the Maize School District.

Last year, we were able to celebrate almost 1,600 staff members by giving them each a free Charlie's car wash, $5 Burn Cards at Torchy's, free Chick fil-A sandwiches, and more. 

We couldn't have done that without in-kind support of area businesses as well as more than $2,500 in contributions from the district's many parent organizations.

Please consider helping us make this year's appreciation week special for all 1.650 of our district's employees.
