Employee Giving Campaign
Round Rock ISD Employees may contribute a monthly amount or make a one-time donation to the Round Rock ISD Partners in Education Foundation. The annual PIE Employee Giving Campaign takes place in the fall and 100% of donations go back to the District. The Foundation provides school supplies for students and staff, Excellence in Education Grants, Teacher of the Year, student scholarships, professional development, district-wide events like STEMFest, Pre-K Rodeo and RROCK Ready, and more.
Excellence in Education Grants
The Excellence in Education Grants provide resources for educators to execute innovative ideas, programs, materials, equipment, field trips, and various other needs that enhance student learning. All Round Rock ISD students are impacted by the grants in some capacity. Educators from over 55 Round Rock ISD campuses and departments were selected to receive over $165,000 ALL campuses and departments. Partners, Foundation Board members, and members of Round Rock ISD administration surprise campus winners throughout the District’s five learning communities throughout the last week in August.
A video highlighting the excitement of the surprise, and the announcement of the remaining winners was posted to the District’s and PIE Foundation’s Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to share the good news with winners and the community.
“Being part of the Teacher Grant Review Committee is one of my favorite PIE Foundation programs. Personally, I want to help every student reach their full potential so that is why I give my time, treasure, and talent as a Board Member. It takes a community working together to educate all students to help our community thrive and grow.”
– KELLY MORENO, PIE Foundation Board Member

An endowment is an endowed gift or an invested fund that can be designated as either a full or term endowment. The principal investment from a full endowment is never spent unless directed by the donor. Interest earnings from a full endowment are used to support the Foundation and provide a secure source of funding. Through an endowment, you can fund a scholarship, Excellence in Education Grant, school supplies or any educational program offered by Round Rock ISD. Endowments can be made as memorials, honorary or both. For more information on this type of investment, please contact the Foundation for full details.
For more information please contact Marianne Reap at 512-464-5600 or Marianne_Reap@rrisdeducationfoundation.org.
“I love serving on the Scholarship Review committee. It’s very rewarding to be part of the process to award scholarship dollars to exceptional, college bound students in our community. I currently have three children in Round Rock ISD, and two others who have graduated. I highly value the quality of the education that my children have received in Round Rock ISD, and serving as a PIE Board Member is a meaningful way to contribute back to the district by supporting the students and teachers. I see the work that the Foundation does in the Round Rock ISD community and I truly believe that their work makes a difference in students’ and teacher’s lives every day.”

Teacher of the Year
Each year, the District recognizes and honors excellence brought by educators each day in their classrooms. Each campus Teacher of the Year (TOY) is elected by their peers and administration in recognition for their contribution in the classroom and throughout the campus learning community. Round Rock ISD Partners in Education Foundation provides community partners to support the banquet through food and a monetary donation to each Teacher of the Year.
“Teacher of the Year is a program that places a spotlight on select educators from each Round Rock ISD campus and shares all of the wonderful contributions they’ve made throughout the year. It is my favorite program to support. In addition, our students are the ultimate benefactors and they deserve the best educational experience Round Rock ISD has to offer.”
– LA TRICIA BRADSHAW, A+ Federal Credit Union & PIE Foundation Board Member
The Teacher of the Year event is set for the first week of May each year.
