Excellence in Education is a citizens organization formed a number of years ago to support Tahoe Truckee School  District teachers in their efforts to bring new and innovative projects to the schools.    The foundation funds teacher project from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars.  These funded projects have given life and encouragement to  teacher creativity and student curiosity, interest and knowledge.   Without this funding support, most of these projects would never have come to fruition.   It is supported by prominent leaders of the  community and has filled a need that is so relevant in all of our short funded school districts. 

Excellence in Education is hosting a fund drive to assist our school district at this time of ever reduced state funding.  You are cordially invite to participate.
