Plan now to play in the ninth annual
Fort Bend Education Foundation Back to School Scramble golf

cart, beverages, reception after the tournament and special gifts.
Foursome teams are $1,000.00 and individual entries are $275.00.
Over $261,000 was awarded in grants to teachers and schools for the
2008-2009 school year. Since the Foundation’s inception in 1992, the
Foundation has awarded over $2,500,000 in grants to Fort Bend ISD
teachers and schools to fund innovative teaching ideas.
The Education Foundation has partnered with the school district and
created the “Grants for Experts” program. Fort Bend ISD teachers
received the benefit of in-service training from nationally
recognized education experts in such topics as classroom management,
differentiated learning strategies, and character development.
The Fort Bend Education Foundation has also implemented additional
programs such as Angel Gifts which provides teachers, just beginning
their teacher career, a gift certificate to a local teachers’ supply
store to help set up their classrooms.
Your participation in the annual “Back to School Scramble” helps
make our mission a reality. All proceeds from the “Back to School
Scramble” benefit the Fort Bend Education Foundation.
