Since its inception in 2011, the EAWR Foundation Board has striven to utilize its donations for the purchase of items which the school district cannot afford and will have either a direct impact on students or the school's ability to provide services or technology in certain areas of need. No Foundation monies go to EAWR high school salaries or benefits.
