The newly formed John Glenn Education Foundation is available for corporation teachers to apply for grants to enrich classes.
The foundation was formed in Nov. 2016 under the direction of Superintendent Richard Reese. Teachers can apply for foundation grants for their out-of-the-box ideas to enhance the learning experience for students. Grants will also be awarded for enhanced training, teaching techniques or new styles of learning.
The Teacher Grants Committee will review all grant applications and the grants will be awarded as funds allow. The idea is to bridge the gap between need and funding.
Proceeds from the sale of household items from a home donated to the school corporation and deeded to the foundation will be used as seed money for grants. The sale is Saturday, April 8 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the home located at 123 Shamrock Street. The sale of the home is anticipated to be complete by the end of April. Proceeds from the sale will also help gather money to offer grants to enhance the education experience for John Glenn students.
