Close to three decades ago, Bob and Gayle Pacheco, founding members of WVEF,  bumped into a WVUSD teacher at the old Kmart in Diamond Bar. She mentioned she was buying school supplies for her classroom. After going to another store, they saw the same teacher again buying more school supplies. This encounter sparked the idea to raise funds to provide grants to teachers, so they wouldn't have to pay out of pocket for classroom necessities. This led to the creation of the WVEF Teddy Bear Tea and the Teacher's Mini-Grants. Last year's Teddy Bear Tea provided funding for over 60 grants, making a significant impact in our local classrooms. Please join us for the 25th anniversary of the Teddy Bear Tea on Saturday, December 7th, at the Diamond Bar Center!
