Dear Weston Silver Eagle Foundation ,

The Weston Silver Eagle Foundation (WSEF) is seeking your support to assist in the creation and development of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ unique and innovative educational programs that inspire both teachers and students. Over the years, Weston ​ has progressed and changed in many ways. Today, we are asking you to help enrich the educational opportunities in your hometown school.

How do we begin? We already have. The Weston Silver Eagle Foundation (WSEF) was organized in 2017 as an IRS tax-deductible organization, to provide students opportunities to achieve excellence. The WSEF is helping to ​ prepare students for the future with the necessary tools, creating success stories!

Programs like the Dairy Sheep Project (DSP) are unique to Weston. In 2013 the DSP started with sheep that were on loan, to building a sheep barn, expanded to market Sheep Milk Soap, and now with the production of sheep milk gelato on the horizon. All of our students (K-12) are involved with the DSP and are the driving force behind its success. As one students who helps take care of the sheep said,

"It makes you want to get up and get out of bed in the morning."

The Technical Education Department was able to add much needed equipment, through financial support from the Foundation. Upgrades included: 3d printers, a laser engraver, a CNC plasma table, Lincoln MP 210 welders, a ​ Grizzly band saw, and a Thermal Dynamics plasma cutter.

Your classmates, neighbors, and friends are coming together to support future improvements at Weston. On the attached donation list, are several projects identified by the WSEF board members. Please review the list. You ​ can earmark your donation to any area you prefer it to go to even do it as a memorial to a loved one.

Can we count on you to help? Be a part of this community-wide movement by making your gift today. Keep in mind, all donations to the WSEF are governed by the volunteer non-profit organization and separate from the Weston School District per IRS rules. All contributions are tax-deductible and are handled with the highest level of professionalism.

Working together, we can build on what is good about Weston and make it even better. Thank you for considering a gift, as all gifts are appreciated and welcomed. Go !
