The tenth annual Fort Bend Education Foundation Back to School Scramble golf tournament is scheduled for Aug. 30 at the Sweetwater Country Club, 4400 Palm Royale Blvd. in Sugar Land.
Schlumberger and Sweetwater Country Club are presenting the “Back to School Scramble” chaired by Ron Bailey and Rod Nelson. Lunch will be provided by Chick-fil-A.
The entry fee includes lunch, golf and cart, beverages, reception after the tournament and special gifts. Foursome teams are $1,000 and individual entries are $275.
More than $254,000 was awarded in grants to teachers and schools for the 2009-2010 school year. Since the Foundation’s inception in 1992, the foundation has awarded more than $2.8million in grants to Fort Bend Independent School District teachers and schools to fund innovative teaching ideas.
The Education Foundation has partnered with the school district and created the “Grants for Experts” program. Fort Bend ISD teachers received the benefit of in-service training from nationally recognized education experts in such topics as classroom management, differentiated learning strategies, and character development.
The Fort Bend Education Foundation has also implemented additional programs such as Angel Gifts which provides teachers, just beginning their teacher career, a gift certificate to a local teachers’ supply store to help set up their classrooms.
All proceeds from the “Back to School Scramble” benefit the Fort Bend Education Foundation.
