Purpose of EXCEL
"EXCEL FOUNDATION, INC. is a broadly-based, non-profit community organization whose purpose is exclusively educational and charitable, and is to secure and distribute contributions from individuals, corporations, governmental agencies, and foundations for the benefit of the students in the Coeur d'Alene School District 271."

Vision
The EXCEL foundation continues to maintain a recognizable visibility in the community as an organization committed to excellence in education, and is a vehicle for individuals and organizations in the community to make a difference in education through volunteer efforts, contributions, and gifts.

Criteria
The following criteria were used to guide the selection process: the grant must offer students opportunities that promote:

  • Higher level thinking skills

  • Creativity

  • Depth of knowledge

  • Increased motivation to learn

  • Excellence in education

The applicants were encouraged to think "outside the box" in developing a project which would bring joy to themselves and their students and renewed passion for teaching. It is not requirement that a project's goals be directly related to state standards or improved standardized test scores.
