WEF will distribute funds as one-time grants to a single or to multiple projects to take place during the following school year. This funding is specifically intended for projects above and beyond those typically funded by the district and school budget, PTA/PTO, Boosters, and other existing district and school resources. All grants will be awarded to Wayzata Public Schools.
We encourage teachers and staff to imagine new ways to engage students and support Excellence for Each and Every Student.
High School Fitness Center Renovation (Awarded May 2023)
“Our middle schools have done an excellent job of creating teaching and learning spaces such as weight rooms / labs for students to utilize. This has allowed them to create more PE Standard based instruction. The High School does have a weight room, but it is not accessible for the freshman required course. This project will provide the space and resources to more effectively plan, organize and arrange these units.”
