Submissions are now open for our annual teacher grants! Teaching grants are awarded to District 66 staff for projects that enhance the student learning experience. Team 66 strives to fund innovative teaching grants to provide resources directly to the classroom for teachers to implement new educational programs, facilitate student
achievement and skill development, recognize and encourage staff excellence, and expand community involvement from individuals, businesses and civic organizations. We look forward to reviewing these grant submissions! Stay tuned to the May board meeting for a list approved grants.
