To create awareness of the Learn to Love to Read initiative and to create excitement around literacy, CTEF purchased $25,000 of Scholastic books to give for free to all students attending various District events, such as PreK Saturday registration and campus STEM programs. CTEF also provided 5 CISD after-school programs with free library bundles. CTEF gifted two elementary PreK-5 campuses with an Inchy Book Vending Machine. Each campus created criteria for students to receive a gold coin to use in the vending machine. The novelty of visiting the vending machine is combined with a free book of their choice that they can keep. CTEF has committed to stocking the machines for the 2025-2026 school year. 37674 0 CISD Branding and Marketing is a grant given to CISD to enhance their branding and marketing for their schools, educators and students. 10000 0 0 Bonnie Barksdale President 10 0 0 0 Samantha Wild Treasurer 2 0 0 0 Anthony Kirchner Secretary 2 0 0 0 Gary Grassia Board Member 1 0 0 0 Holly Anderson Board Member 1 0 0 0 Lauren Brown Board Member 1 0 0 0 Leon Fischer Board Member 1 0 0 0 Kim Springsted Board Member 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 TX Samantha Wild 8016 Geranium Lane Fort Worth TX 76123 8177570371 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 10838 9769 9495 30459 21950 82511 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10838 9769 9495 30459 21950 82511 41500 41011 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 82511 195215 0.49704 0.56315 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Chisholm Trail Education Foundation Golf Tournament 2025 61786 0 61786 0 1549 9184 2700 0 1417 0 0 61786 0 61786 0 1549 9184 2700 0 1417 14850 46936 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 Two $500 checks written for two student scholarships were returned as the students were not enrolled at the universities they said they would be going to.
