The West Allis-West Milwaukee School District (WAWMSD) Education Foundation was established in 2007 to enhance the educational opportunities that are available within the District. In partnership with the community, we aspire to provide additional funds to expand existing programs and enrichment opportunities for WAWM students. Our multi-tiered fundraising plan opens the door for support at all levels. Supporting the WAWMSD Education Foundation is a sound investment in our future.
