The Gregory-Portland Education Foundation on Thursday awarded almost $14,000 in grants to 15 teachers across the school district for classroom programs.
The programs include clay teaching models and technology for health science students, science lab materials, a project for German language students, materials for job-seeking skills, plant development, math activities and drum kits that combine music and physical education lessons.
This is the second year that the foundation awarded grants to teachers. The programs will benefit 1,643 students in the current school year.
To date, the foundation has awarded $10,500 in student scholarships and almost $27,700 in teacher grants. The foundation raises funds for this year’s grants from individual and private donors and proceeds from the Teacher of the Year Banquet.
