Lago Vista ISD Education Foundation
Make a difference today for a better tomorrow.
About Us
The LVISDEF works with the community to enrich, maintain and expand programs in order to meet the district's stated mission of excellence. We foster creative approaches to education through private grants as well as student achievement through PSAT costs for 9th and 10th grade exams.
Our Bylaws can be found here.
2022- 2023 Initiatives
Please join the Education Foundation for a Fun and Safe trick-or-treating event for the community. Put on your favorite costume, get the gang together and carpool on over to the High School. We are challenging our Trunk Participants to try to one up each other for the Best of the Best award.
Lago Vista ISD Education Foundation Fundraiser. For $10, purchase a chance to win one of three dinners for eight people for Super Bowl Sunday, February 12, 2023. Our local chef Becky Pfile will be cooking up a hot soup or chili dinner including appetizers, dessert and drinks with free delivery to the 78645 zip code area. Don't want or need a dinner, how about donating a ticket for a teacher? We'll mark the ticket with TEACHER and if drawn, will pick from a list of names of all teachers and staff in the Lago Vista ISD school district. Drawings will be held on Tuesday, February 7th at Lago Vista High School during half time of the Lady Viking's basketball game. Your dollars will be used to provide grants to teachers for innovative teaching programs in the Lago Vista school district. Thank you for your support!
