August is the month annually that
the TPS Foundation embarks on an employee capital campaign. This year in
addition to the regular employee campaign, the Foundation is placing an
emphasis on raising dollars to support a new Foundation fund, Bridges To
The Future.
Bridges To The Future provides
grants to qualified students served by the TPS Migrant Education Program to
reduce the financial burden of attending the Washburn Technical Education
program while still in high school.
For the first time the Foundation
set up a booth at the TPS employee benefits fair to increase employee
awareness of the benefits the Foundation provides to the District and to
solicit additional employee contributions.
