MCCF 2023 Classroom Grant Recipients
The Martin County Community Foundation Board of Directors awarded $9,000 to twenty-one Martin County teachers through the 2023 MCCF Classroom Grant Cycle.
The Classroom Grant program is designed to fund small, in-class projects that might not have a typical funding source. The goal is to help teachers provide additional educational projects that are creative, innovative, and stimulate student learning.
“Teachers dedicate themselves to educating the leaders and workforce of the future. They frequently spend their own money on projects that students will enjoy and will bring what they are teaching to life,” Judy Quyle, Classroom Grant Coordinator, said. “The Classroom Grant program is designed to support the teachers in their role as educators and to show our appreciation for the importance of their profession and dedication. In addition, the enthusiasm these projects create for the students can inspire a love of learning.”
