The Cuero ISD Education Foundation and Pioneer Natural Resources are proud to announce the 2017 “Concert for Classrooms” featuring Texas Country Music Hall of Famer and Traditional Country Troubadour Tracy Byrd with opening entertainment provided by the Rocky King Band on Saturday, November 11, 2017, from 7-10 p.m., at the Cuero ISD Performing Arts Center.
Best known for his Academy of Country Music Song of the Year and No. 1 hit, “Keeper of the Stars,” Tracy Byrd has charted more than 30 hit singles in his 25-year career, eleven of which were Top Ten hits. He has released ten studio albums and two greatest-hits albums, earning four gold certifications and one double-platinum certification from the RIAA. “Byrd-Watchers” celebrated the release of the multi-platinum recording artist’s newest album, “All American Texan,” the first album Byrd has released in a decade, in November, 2016.
The opening performer, Rocky King, has played fiddle since the age of five and has earned numerous awards while developing his craft. In 2011, he organized the Rocky King Band (RKB), bringing together some of the best musicians in Texas with a wealth of experience in traditional country and western swing music. Featuring twin fiddles and steel guitar, the RKB is in demand all over the great state of Texas with a following loyal to RKB’s unique brand of country music.
Both Tracy Byrd and Rocky King were born and raised in Texas, and the Cuero ISD Education Foundation board of directors are proud to support local musicians while raising funds to support our local school district. Funds generated from the concert will enable the Foundation to provide grants to Cuero ISD administrators, faculty, and staff for educational resources, projects, and activities beyond the scope of traditional school funding as well as help to grow the Foundation's endowment and cover its operating expenses. Since 2002, the Foundation has awarded Cuero ISD administrators, faculty, and staff $679,813.19 in grants, which have the potential to impact every student at Cuero ISD.

Mission
The mission of the Cuero ISD Education Foundation is to generate and distribute financial resources to the Cuero Independent School District to enrich, maintain, and expand programs needed to meet the District's stated mission of excellence in education.
HistoryThe Cuero ISD Education Foundation, Inc. was founded in 2002 as a 501(c)(3) organization by members of the community of Cuero to generate and distribute financial resources to the Cuero Independent School District to enrich, maintain, and expand programs needed to meet the District's stated mission of excellence in education.
Because of the Cuero ISD Education Foundation board of directors' commitment to this mission as well as the community of Cuero's generosity and support of this mission, the Foundation has awarded CISD administrators, faculty, staff, students, and graduates $679,813.19 in grants, $383,250 in scholarships, and $1,868,274.33 in special projects, for a grand total of $2,931,337.52 since 2002.

This endowment will provide for Cuero ISD educators and students for years to come. The Foundation’s history, although brief, is impressive due to the generosity of its donors along with the diligence and prudence of the board. |
