What we do

The Cambrian Educational Foundation collaborates with the school district and the community to assist in providing students the best education possible. CEF is the school district’s primary partner in providing support and enrichment opportunities that help students at every school receive an impactful and achievement-filled education from the Cambrian School District. Each school’s Home & School Club is a member of the CEF. We grant funds to each school throughout the district, as well as educators and community partners.
