Maize Education Foundation
It takes a lot to carry out our mission, and there are many ways you can support the Maize Education Foundation!
DonateYour donations help provide the Foundation with the funds it needs to maintain its operations while providing grants and supporting programs throughout the Maize School District.
While Maize Schools celebrate achievements and high performance in academics, arts, and group activities, there are still challenges to face. A significant number of students come to school without supplies and food. The rapid growth in enrollment causes increased challenges on staff and strains resources to support special services and the social-emotional needs of our students.
VolunteerWe are looking for passionate individuals to volunteer with the Maize Education Foundation! Your support helps us continue to empower students and enhance educational opportunities in the Maize School District.
Whether you're interested in joining our Board of Directors, reviewing grant and scholarship applications, assisting at events, providing feedback, or participating in focus groups, there are plenty of ways to get involved and make a difference in our community. There is truly something for everyone!
Maverick Connections
We are seeking Maverick family and community members with happy hearts and warm smiles to greet our students at the doors in the mornings.
Our Maverick Greeters are important because:
- students need to feel valued and cared for at school.
- students are able to start their day fresh no matter what else is happening that morning.
- students who feel safe and supported are ready for optimal learning.
What to expect that morning:
- Deliver morning greetings 7:00-7:20
- High fives, dabs, waves, and big smiles
- You can bring props: foam fingers, Mav gear, hats, etc.
- If you see a student who you think has a need, bring to office for admin or counselor support.
What we need from you:
- Let us know you're interested by completing this form.
- Complete a background check (found at the bottom of this page).
- Wear a nametag and your favorite Maverick gear.
You may volunteer as little or as much as fits your schedule. Thank you for helping us create important connections with our students first thing in the morning!
