PANTHER PRIDE AWARDS GRANT MONEY
The Panther Pride Foundation for Central Schools and the CUSD #3 School Board once again teamed up to provide money for Learning Enhancement Grants for classroom education for the 2005-2006 school year.
The grant committee received 23 applications this fall, the most ever. Although not every request could be awarded, more than $3,100 was given out to 13 different projects. Grants ranged from $100 to $1,000 and money went to all grade levels to help buy things like books for guided reading, science materials, and graphing calculators to name a few.
In the spring $1800 was awarded for the Learning Enhancement Grants for seven different projects. Grants ranging from $50 to $500 were given to projects including pedometers for junior high physical education, a digital video camera for the high school and many learning aids for all grade levels.
The Learning Enhancement Grants provide teachers with a chance to expand on their curriculum and teaching aides with supplies that aren't usually provided through the normal school budget.
Since 1997, the Panther Pride Foundation has made an annual commitment to supply grant money for classroom projects that allow students to expand their horizons and learn with the latest technology and resources available.
