CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL! As a recipient of 3 when teaching English and American History in Escambia County, I can testify that these grants supplement and enable more learning and classroom activities. The last grant I received I was able to purchase 20 American Hero biographies and used them in my class as extra credit reading. When I retired, I donated to Ransom Middle School library for others to enjoy.
