Message from LTEF

The Directors of the Lake Travis Education Foundation invite you to attend an Open House on Wednesday, February 8th.  This informal yet informative one-hour event will provide an opportunity for you to learn what it means to be a director and how you can help support education in our schools.  They will discuss the purpose of LTEF and  how the directors work together to support exemplary education in the Lake Travis Independent School District.  You'll learn more about LTEF's annual fundraising events, including the upcoming Casino Royale Gala.  They will also share examples of how LTEF's grant and scholarship programs are enhancing education in our school district.

 

So whether you're interested in exploring Board membership or would just like to know a little more about LTEF and the work they do, please join them for an Open House.  Bring a friend!  For further information, visit their website www.laketraviseducationfoundation.org
