InvestED was previously known as the Saul and Dayee G. Haas Foundation which had effectively been in operation since 1963, aimed at meeting the "critical needs of many low income students". Today, InvestED is a public charity focused on meeting the fundamental needs of students to help them stay in school and focused, to help them graduate.
Examples of what InvestED funding may be used for are:
- Classroom needs (e.g., school supplies, field trip fees, P.E. supplies, etc.).
- School activities (e.g., ASB, Sports physicals, School special events, Graduation expenses, etc.).
- Health needs (e.g., Hospital expenses, Health exams, Mental health/counseling services, Eye/Hearing/Dental care expenses, etc.).
- Personal needs (e.g., Clothing like shoes and coats, personal care needs, baby supplies/day care, etc.).
- Special programs (e.g., College testing/application fees, Running start, drivers education fees, etc.).
If you are a student in need or know one that is, please contact Principal Phipps. She is presently the coordinator for the Warden School District.
