Arlington Education Foundation gives 16 grants totaling $9,500 to classroom teachers
During the Arlington Public Schools Board of Directors meeting on April 25, the Arlington Education Foundation (AEF) gave $9,595.70 to teachers in the Arlington School District. Since 2011, AEF has granted $127,000 to classroom teachers in the district as part of their Mini Grant Program.
“One way our foundation provides support and assistance to Arlington teachers and students is through our classroom mini-grants,” said AEF Board Member, Kevin Ess. “Twice every year, these grants go to fund special projects, books, needed classroom supplies and other innovative and inspirational resources that enhance student learning experiences and help Arlington teachers to educate and prepare the children of our community.”
