    Projects Approved for 2021:

    We will have excitement this year as a result of the Foundation’s contribution towards the cost of purchasing various items in all grade levels including: interactive flat panel TVs, large screen TV's, new projectors, portable document cameras, flexible seating, indoor recess items, Scovill Mobile Zoom visits, Ipads, science materials, books, Walking Classroom kits, as well as materials needed to support the freshman orientation and grade school classroom landscaping project.

This program allows teachers to quickly purchase items through an expidited process to bring immediate resources to the classroom.
