The Midland Education Foundation recently organized pickleball contests as a fundraising effort to support teachers and students within the district.
"Midland Education Foundation supporters were 'Serving for Success' today," the district said in a Facebook post. "The inaugural pickleball tournament raised money to support local Midland ISD teachers & schools. Thank you to the Presenting sponsor Diamondback Energy and the other amazing organizations that support our public schools!"
According to the Midland Independent School District (MISD) website, the foundation's mission is to assist graduating seniors with their future endeavors after leaving the district. Students have the opportunity to apply for scholarships through the district’s website.
The foundation generates funds through various initiatives, including grants, scholarships, events, and partnerships with community entities, as noted on the MISD website. The Midland Education Foundation supports numerous programs and initiatives within MISD, covering areas such as academics, fine arts, robotics, science, technology, engineering, math, history, and more.
