Grants
The Foundation funds schools, teachers and the arts.
Innovative Teaching Grants
These grants are applied for by teachers in the district who want to create exciting new ways to teach that will engage students and increase learning. Ways that are imaginative, innovative, outside the box, and that foster new ideas and support diverse learning styles within the classroom. Ideas surrounding art, music, science, language arts, math, technology, learning support, etc., are all areas in which requests come in from teachers.
