“Teton valley education foundation's mission is to enhance opportunities for excellence in teton school district 401 through educational programs and community partnerships.”

“Teton valley education foundation offers funding through teacher grants to benefit teton school district 401. Teachers have the opportunity to submit a teacher grant application three times a year for consideration of funding to support new ideas, initiatives and curriculum-aligned projects that would not otherwise be made possible due to budgetary constraints. In the current fiscal year, teton valley education foundation funded 14 projects which positively impacted 1,773 students. The grants awarded were diverse in nature and ranged from robotics to simulated technology to hokki stools to science trips to yellowstone.”

“Artreach supports having a certified art teacher provide a consistent art curriculum to k-5 students once a month. The program is important because budgetary constraints prohibit providing an art curriculum in the elementary schools. The entire program benefited 855 students.”

“The voice program is a student mentorship program that provides emotional support for incoming high school students. Through this program, upperclassmen who have become voice mentors provide support to students who may be facing tough issues or may feel insecure in the high school environment. One voice program, called i2i, teaches students that they are not alone in their issues. Voice served 435 students in 2014-2015.”

“The teton valley education foundation also hosts hearing and vision screenings each year for tsd elementary students. For students who are in need of assistance with professional follow up exams, we have a critical needs fund that will pay for both testing and eyeglasses for students. That fund also supplies backpacks and school supplies for children. Finally, tvef currently awards four scholarships each year supporting students with 500 per semester for a total of eight semesters.”
