Recognition Certificates Awarded at all
LISD Elementary Campuses
Teacher Recognition Certificates are a perfect way to acknowledge the wonderful work our teachers do throughout the school year. In our third year of offering the Teacher Recognition Program, over 230 teachers had donations made in their names by parents, students, and family members. Most of the money raised will be available for Innovative Teaching Excellence Grants this fall, and LEEF will contribute a portion of the proceeds to the LISD Council of PTAs. Click here for a complete list of this year's recipients. Special thanks to this year's sponsors whose generous in-kind support provided some wonderful gifts for all of our recipients:
Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Round Rock Express, Schlotzsky's Cinemark Lifesource Chiropractic, Double Dave's, Ensign Chiropractic, Spicy Pickle, It's A Grind, Volente Beach, Waterloo Ice House Avery Ranch, Kelly Steinberg's Boot Camp,Texas Stars Hockey Club
LEEF Book Drives bring thousands of books
hOur second annual end of year book drive was a huge success, and we have lots of great books to share throughout the community to help our future scholars get an early start on reading. Experts all agree that Kindergarten Readiness is a key to success in school. Along with books, we distribute customized bookmarks to help families engage in reading with their children.

LEEF Textbook Scholarships allow LISD Students to Attend Austin Community College
Nineteen LISD High School Students from Leander, Cedar Park, and Vista Ridge High Schools are attending ACC this spring free of charge thanks to community partnerships between LISD, ACC, and LEEF. Tuition is waived through the Early College Start program, but textbooks are not included. LEEF is funding textbook voucher scholarships for LISD students on free or reduced lunch, removing a major obstacle to post secondary education. They are eligible for renewals based on a final grade of B or higher, and several are the first from their families to attend college. For applications or information, contact any LISD HS Campus Transition Coordinator
