Welcome!
We are pleased to introduce you to the Woodstock Education Foundation.
The Woodstock Education Foundation (WEF) is a volunteer organization formed
by parents and community members concerned about preserving important
school programs. The WEF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, organized
in 2005 and governed by a Board of Directors. We are proud to be a member

and provides valuable information to affiliates about grants and programs
