EEF NEWS SEPTEMBER, 2019

EEF BELIEF
We believe that strong schools are essential to the quality of life and future well-being of our community.
EEF awards $14,711 to P-CCS Classrooms in Summer Grants
EEF Classroom Enhancement Grants (CEG) provide opportunities for teachers to fund innovative experiences that enhance the learning environment. Since 2000, the EEF has funded over $481,583 in grants to all 24 schools throughout Plymouth-Canton Community Schools (P-CCS).

This summer, P-CCS teachers had the opportunity to apply for CEG grants. Our grant committee carefully reviewed each application and was excited to award $14,711 to nine teachers throughout the district. Projects ranged from yoga and ASD equipment for elementary schools, to math technology, thermal imaging equipment and music tuners for the high schools.

Upon hearing the news she was awarded a grant, Gallimore Elementary teacher Jessica Zeleji said, "Thank you very much! I am thrilled to receive this grant! I know it’s going to enhance my students’ learning this year and for years to come!" To see a list of the grants awarded, click HERE .
