What is BRIDGE's Relationship With School?
​
The Washington BRIDGE Education Foundation is not a division of any district or Board of Education in Washington, IL. BRIDGE is composed of private citizens who volunteer their time and are committed to putting in place a long-term, self-sustaining financial base that will annually fund innovative academic opportunities in our community. While not a division of any district or Board of Education, a positive, open and working communication exists, and will continue to grow between the Washington BRIDGE Education Foundation and our community’s districts.
“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” Benjamin Franklin
