CLEAR CREEK EDUCATION FOUNDATION RAISES RECORD $179,724 IN ONE WEEK FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS IN CLEAR CREEK ISD
LEAGUE CITY, Texas – The Clear Creek Education Foundation (CCEF) kicked off their new Give-A-Grant Rally Week March 29th through April 1st. During the week, CCEF promoted their mission and rallied community support which resulted in raising $125,024 for Clear Creek ISD teacher grants, exceeding the original goal of $100,000! In addition to the $125,024 raised for teacher grants, CCEF partners pledged $54,700 that will support other programs that benefit the students and teachers of Clear Creek ISD, bringing the grand total raised to $179,724! As the community is aware, teachers need support now more than ever and with the cancellation of in person spring events, this rally week enables CCEF to continue to provide innovative learning materials to students of all ages, both in the classroom and virtually.
Each day during the rally week, a teacher testimonial video was featured and showed the inside scoop to really understand why teacher grants and community partnerships are so important from a teacher’s perspective. Special thanks to Miriam Bailey (Landolt Elementary), Debbie Adams (Falcon Pass Elementary), Julie Edwards (Bayside Intermediate) and Shirley Cook-Dickey (Clear Lake High School). The CCEF Board of Directors formed teams and had a fun, fierce competition between each team on who could raise the most money. Each day, a different team reported to the call center which was held at Hilton Houston NASA Clear Lake, and rallied community support. Team Joiner took first place bringing in a total of $45,300!
“We are so overwhelmed with the support from our partners during Give-a-Grant Rally Week,” stated CCEF Executive Director, Deborah Laine. “This event truly represents everything we stand for and our mission to support teachers and students through innovative materials in the classroom and online. We know this community loves our teachers and students and they definitely showed it last week.”
