The WEF has provided funding to teachers and administrators for more than 150 unique educational enrichment programs since 2005. Notable programming that would not have been possible without WEF support include consistent funding for the 8th Grade DC Trip Tour Guides, the Middle School Civil War Re-enactments, and the signature WEF after school Public Speaking program. For the Woodstock Elementary School the WEF supports innovative uses of technology such as the Generation Genius Science & Math Video and Lesson Subscription, experiential learning trips to Bluff Point and a hands on Day of Science brought to the school from our own Connecticut Science Museum.
