FFE hits $1 Million in grants!

Huge milestone reached!

The Foundation for Excellence is proud to announce that we have given $1 million back to the Walled Lake School District!

The FFE was created in 1991 with the mission of supporting classrooms in the WLCSD by donating funds above what the district is able to provide. We have proudly given back yearly through our grant program and, after giving away over $60,000 this year, we have reached the milestone of giving back over $1 million!

How does the FFE give back?

The FFE has a number of programs that give back to the Walled Lake School district. The FFE's biggest program is our grant program through which we were able to provide over $60,000 for classrooms in 2023. These funds support tools for literacy, math, science, physical education, music, and special services.

We also provide funds for the following:

Performing arts programs through the Shuman Family Performing Arts Grants
Adult Transition Program through the Special Deeds for Special Needs Grant
5th grade camp scholarships
Retiree and Teacher of the Year recognitions
Special projects like a new pavilion at the Outdoor Education Center
