The Westerville Student Education Foundation (WSEF) gives students from all three Westerville high schools the opportunity to turn ideas into action.

Through service projects, collaboration, and community engagement, these student leaders identify needs in their schools and work together to make a meaningful difference.

At the WEF, we believe investing in students today helps cultivate the next generation of leaders, advocates, and community champions. We’re proud to support WSEF and the incredible young people who are already making an impact across Westerville. 💙

The Westerville Education Foundation is excited to share our spring grants. 👏 🎉

🥫 The Heritage Husky Club aims to ensure students have enough food to fuel their school days and even sends them home with food for the weekends. We know students can’t learn when their basic needs aren’t met, and we’re thankful for our schools stepping up to support students!

🎳 The English Learners Community Activity Club helps EL students from all three high schools connect with their peers, improve their English, and experience American culture through monthly activities like bowling, the zoo, and the movies.

🌌 All students at Emerson Elementary will get to experience the Sky Dome Planetuarum and learn content tailored to their grade level and learning objectives. Students will also create a fine arts project inspired by our amazing solar system!

🌎 Students can share about their own culture and learn about others at Culture Night at Robert Frost! This project will also expand culturally representative books in classroom libraries.

🛞 Rolling Toward Regulation will bring the power of movement to students in the SLC classrooms at Minerva France elementary school. Students will have a therapeutic outlet and gain essential self regulation skills.

🎻 Students at Minerva Park Middle School will work with professional musicians from the Westerville Symphony Orchestra. Through live performance, demonstrations, and coaching sessions, students will experience professional level musicianship while strengthening the music skills they are developing in the classroom.

Thank you to all of our sponsors and donors who make this work possible!

Student wellness is essential to student success. 💙

This spring, we received several grant applications from Westerville City Schools educators focused on supporting student wellness—from initiatives that help students manage stress and build resilience to projects that encourage healthy movement and well-being.

Now we need your help to say “yes.”

Through the Westerville Education Foundation’s Sponsor a Grant initiative, you can directly fund innovative projects that support student wellness in our schools. Sponsors can give at $250, $500, or $1,000 and direct those funds to student wellness grants.

When you sponsor a grant, you’re helping bring meaningful resources and opportunities to students across the district.
