The Shell Lake Educational Foundation (SLEF) is organized to strengthen community participation in educational programs operating in the Shell Lake School District. Additional financial and other assistance, in areas which are not ordinarily provided through their operating budgets, are also provided. SLEF strives to be an integral part of the educational community by assisting our district. With the current challenging education financial system in Wisconsin, SLEF’s work of raising and providing additional funding educational tools and opportunities for our students beyond what a school budget can support becomes more important each year. SLEF is governed by a volunteer board of trustees who operate independently of the school district's Board of Education.
SLEF was founded in 2002 by a group of people who value the Shell Lake area community and understand the importance of having and supporting a strong education system within that community. Active SLEF members realize the quality of our school system and ask your help with allowing us to enhance our students’ education.
