La Crosse Public Education Foundation celebrates area educators

The organization’s annual Grant Award Ceremony recognized about 80 educators that received funding in 2020.
Not every grant goes toward school supplies or new programs though.
Some go toward small ideas that capture a bigger picture.
Like one grant awarded to Northside Elementary school.
The school is using its grant money to hire a professional photographer and print photos of the students to hang throughout the halls.
Plus, families that can’t afford the cost of family portraits are able to get them done through the school.
The school’s community coordinator said unique things like this wouldn’t be possible without the grant.
