"Enhancing education with enrichment" is the motto of the District 99 Education Foundation, which has raised and disbursed thousands of dollars in grants to North and South high-school teachers for projects such as brain models for anatomy class, and a library tile mural. The organization recognizes teachers during American Education Week and Teacher Appreciation Week. Current fundraising efforts include walkway bricks that pay tribute to students, teachers, clubs and teams, and the "Food for Thought" cookbook. The foundation operates out of the District 99 Administrative Service Center.
