The Education Foundation of Odessa, in partnership with the AVID Program in Ector County ISD, will unveil the new Tools for Success Center at Crockett Middle School.
A special unveiling of this center is scheduled for 1:45 p.m. Wednesday at Crockett Middle School, 2301 N. Conover Ave.
Also at this time, a special check will be presented in support of the program from the foundation’s partners at Walmart.
The Education Foundation of Odessa is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt, philanthropic organization of citizens who share a vision of enhancing education in ECISD.
The Education Foundation of Odessa provides a new and innovative source of funding to support the school district’s educational plan. It does not attempt to replace lost state funding, nor does it attempt to take the place of the district’s operating budget, a news release said. When considering the level of funding required to educate students, the foundation can expect only to provide funds for those projects and activities that go beyond the normal classroom experience. Such initiatives provide enrichment, research opportunities, teacher training, intervention and prevention strategies and extend the educational effort.
