4 Waco ISD BRICKLAYERS District drive The District Drive benefiting the Waco ISD Education Foundation was nothing short of a success. Three hundred and twenty-nine WISD employees donated $100 or more to the Waco ISD Education Foundation. That is more than 25% of all district employees. Campuses united behind this year s motto, KNOCKING OUT BUDGET SHORTFALLS ONE CREATIVE CLASSROOM GRANT AT A TIME. The foundation believes that the success and support from Waco ISD is due to the fact that the teachers and staff witness daily on their campuses the impact classroom grants and projects make in the lives of our children. The next time you see a WISD Bricklayer walking around in their t-shirt please be sure to stop them and thank them for their commitment to excellence in education. Together we can...
