MAKING AN IMPACT

Throughout the year, SHEF raises money through various events and fundraisers in order to fund school projects that are beyond the school district's budget that greatly aid and enhance the learning process in our classrooms. SHEF also assists with funding district grants that help with the improvement of technology throughout our district schools. Since our inception in 2006, SHEF has awarded over $1 million to our district schools to support all our students.
