GrantsGrants

The Southington Education Foundation is offering grants to teachers in the Southington Public Schools. The grants will allow teachers to identify and address needs, challenges, and concerns unique to their students. The identified project/program should be reflective of both the schools' mission statement and the mission statement of the SEF as well as coordinated with existing curricula. The SEF will only fund projects outside of the scope of the Southington Board of Education.
What kinds of grants are being awarded?
Grants that will be awarded range from $500 to $10,000 (funding levels vary and will be announced when each round of grant funding is announced). The SEF wants Southington educators to "think big"! What large projects would they like to see funded that would not be funded out of the regular Board of Education budget? These are the kinds of projects the SEF is challenging educators to come up with.

I’d like to thank [SEF] for the opportunity to utilize the grant money to purchase an iPad for my classroom. As you can imagine with the vast number of apps that have become available, literacy interventions using technology are ever growing, endless and changing from day to day. (more)
