Fauquier Excellence in Education

Fauquier Excellence In Education Foundation (FEIEF) is a 501 (c)(3) dedicated to creating, enriching and expanding educational opportunities for Fauquier County Public Schools. We help fill the competitive gaps and improve educational opportunities and experiences for teachers, administrators and students. We build bridges between our schools, local businesses and parents.

More About Us

EDUCATOR GRANTS: For over 40 years the Foundation has provided teachers with grants to enable them to participate in high-quality professional development programs that enhance classroom teaching. In 2016, we expanded these opportunities to include all qualified educators, aides, support staff, and administrators. Many teachers cannot afford to attend these classes, seminars, and conferences without this grant funding. Thank you for helping our teachers to grow and better serve their students.

MY FIRST BOOK CLUB:  This original Foundation program is designed for at-risk preschool students to improve literacy, develop a love of reading, and promote peer interaction. Each month students receive a new book for classroom and at-home reading. Teachers set goals for individual reading skills and read together in a group setting. Students also receive book bins to take home to build their first home library.  For only $35 a year, you can sponsor a child to receive 12 books and a book bin.

A-R TOPOGRAPHY SANDBOX TABLES: Thanks to grant from Dominion Energy, we are bringing Augmented Reality 3-D Topography Sandbox Tables into the Environmental Studies Academy and the Outdoor Lab at Fauquier High School. These interactive educational tools explore the importance of water, watersheds, hydrology, topography, land forms, geology, the effects of weather, earth science, and environmental studies. This program originally launched just as the pandemic hit, so it was halted; however, we are now working to reinstate it.
