The Nazareth Education Foundation donated $15,000 to Nazareth ISD following its annual fundraiser on Oct. 15.
NISD will be using the funds to complete replacing carpet in the elementary classrooms. Visa gift cards for $500 were also given to teachers to cover classroom expenses and educational materials.
Two years ago, members of the former “Band Parents” Booster Club made the decision to donate their savings to the Education Foundation, requesting that the funds be used for the benefit of Nazareth students, and a grant program was formed allowing teachers to make requests for additional improvements or to fund programs benefiting classrooms for programs for academics and fine arts.
