October 28, 2016
Grant checks totaling over $90,000 were presented to 20 Escambia County public schools during the Escambia County Public Schools Foundation’s Grants for Excellence reception Thursday evening at the Pensacola Yacht Club.
“The purpose of the Foundation’s Grants for Excellence Program is to promote collaboration across grade levels between teachers, principals and the schools’ leadership teams,” said Denise Rosenbloum, chair of the Grants for Excellence Committee. “These innovative classroom grants are unique projects designed by teachers to make a meaningful impact in the areas of STEM and Literacy,” she said.
The 20 grants range from $2,375 to $5,000 each and will impact 10,344 students and 490 teachers at the following schools: A.K. Suter Elementary, Ensley Elementary, Escambia High, Ferry Pass Elementary, Ferry Pass Middle, Hellen Caro Elementary, Holm Elementary, Jim C. Bailey Middle, Longleaf Elementary, Myrtle Grove Elementary, N. B. Cook Elementary, Northview High, Oakcrest Elementary, R.C. Lipscomb Elementary, Roy Hyatt Environmental Center, Sherwood Elementary, Tate High, Washington High Marine Science Academy, West Florida High, and Workman Middle.
The Foundation’s Grants for Excellence program encourages classroom projects that actively engage students in exciting hands-on learning experiences. The Foundation secures dollar-for-dollar matching funds for the Grants for Excellence program from the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations through the Florida Legislature’s School District Education Foundation Matching Grants Program.
