More than 850 supporters gathered Saturday, March 29, at the Plano Event Center for the annual Wylie ISD Education Foundation Boots n’ Barbecue gala, an evening dedicated to celebrating community pride and raising funds to support classroom innovation across the district.
This year’s theme, “Proud to be Wylie ISD,” set the tone for a night that blended recognition, fundraising and entertainment, all with a focus on investing in local educators and students.
Emcees DJ Shirley and Bryan Brokaw guided attendees through the evening’s program, highlighting the foundation’s ongoing impact and the importance of continued community support.
Funds raised through the gala and other foundation efforts throughout the year directly support grant opportunities for Wylie ISD teachers. Those grants fund creative, innovative projects that enhance classroom learning and provide students with expanded educational experiences.
