I am incredibly impressed with the Education Foundation of Eagle County (EFEC). This organization has made a significant impact on our community by supporting teachers, students, and educational programs. EFEC's commitment to enhancing education in Eagle County is evident through their various initiatives, such as the Distinguished Teacher Scholarship Awards, monetary Apple Awards, and recognition programs that celebrate educators' dedication and excellence.

One of the standout aspects of EFEC is their focus on mental health programs and classroom grants for STEM, arts, music, and equity learning. These programs ensure that students' intellectual and emotional needs are prioritized, creating a well-rounded educational experience[.

Additionally, EFEC's School Staff Support Corps provides invaluable support to teachers by covering recess and lunch duties, allowing educators to concentrate on their primary responsibilities.

EFEC's innovative approach and dedication to addressing the challenges faced by our education system make them a leader in Colorado's education landscape. Their efforts in teacher retention, community engagement, and advocacy for better funding and resources are truly commendable.
