Jarrod Sterzinger,
PIE Foundation President
Over the past 35 years of partnering with Round Rock ISD, the RRISD Partners in Education Foundation has provided a connection between the District and our business and community partners. As my second year as President of the Education Foundation, I'm honored to continue the long legacy of connecting all of you - our community leaders - with our Round Rock ISD students, teachers and staff. As we "Include All, Invest in Growth, and Inspire Action", your generous contributions support many programs including: teacher grants, scholarships, school supplies, student enrichment programs, and recognition for outstanding teachers. On behalf of the board and myself - an immense thanks for all of our community partners whose donations create impact for great programs, amazing students, and our caring teachers throughout the District!

"Resource Boutique"
Supporting
Behavioral & Mental Health
and
Safety Departments
The Resource Boutique was established in November, 2020 to support the needs of students in including "emergency" basic items such as food, hygiene products, personal protection equipment, heaters, blankets, water and clothing. As other non-profits were directly affected by the pandemic the mission to serve expanded to providing Happy Birthday boxes to displaced Round Rock ISD students (homeless) and foster care students. The Boutique also offers school supplies to any teacher/campus in need.
Teacher of the Year Awards
The Foundation annually sponsors the Round Rock ISD Teacher Excellence Awards by providing $150 monetary awards for each Campus winner. In addition, the Foundation provides a $500 monetary award to the District Secondary and Elementary winners. The Foundation with support from A+ Federal Credit Union sponsors the annual Teacher of the Year (TOY) reception at which time the Elementary and Secondary Teachers of the Year are named.
Congratulations to our 2021
Teacher of the Year Winners!
Round Rock ISD Elementary Teacher of the Year: Jill Peyton, Forest North
