There are specified funds available for the following categories:
Math and Science Grants (We have LOTS of resources for this! Get involved!)
Service Learning projects that promote civic mission and students involvement in making a difference in their community.
Five - $500 Service Learning classroom project grants
Two - $500 Service Learning Science, Engineering or Math $500 grants
Service-Learning is a K-12 teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful service to the community (classroom, or school, or beyond) with academic instruction and reflection to engage students, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities. Through service-learning, students use what they learn in the classroom to solve real-life problems. They not only learn practical applications of their curriculum, they also become "actively contributing citizens and community members" through the service they perform.
Core Curriculum • Service to the Community • Student Voice/Decisions • Civic Responsibility • Reflection
