Since re-opening in 1996, Jack L. Weaver Elementary School has become an outstanding learning facility with exceptional students, staff and programs. Weaver provides a creative, challenging and nurturing environment that offers students unparalleled preparation for life long learning. We are dedicated to academic excellence and we value parents, community and business members as partners in education.

 

Mission

Friends of Weaver (FOW) was founded in 1999 as a non-profit organization dedicated to acquiring, maintaining, improving, and updating technological resources at Jack L. Weaver Elementary School. FOW provides support and resources to teachers and staff so they can provide a variety of learning opportunities enabling all students to be successful. FOW achieves this through various fundraising efforts throughout the year.
