Service's Provided: Atwater Educational Enrichment Foundation
is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing opportunities for the students of Atwater to engage in enriching learning experiences. The need for this foundation evolved during years of funding cut-backs to education. These funding cuts have cause schools to significantly reduce activities that enrich students lives and make learning meaningful. Learning beyond textbooks, using their hands as well as their minds, the students explore nature, art, music and drama in nearby communities.

By moving beyond the walls of their homes and classrooms, the students become keenly aware of their surroundings. Our organization supports activities such as trips to environmental sites, outdoor education as well as art, music and drama. By learning about and caring for the resources close to Atwater, students will develop a willingness to participate in protecting their world.

You can help us by visiting the Help Us page, shopping in our online store or making a donation right here on our website. We would also like for you to sign up for our e-newsletter so that you can be informed of our progress and events. If you have other ideas for our Foundation, use the contact form and forward them to us. We enjoy hearing from you.
