We were so very pleased to announce our teacher grant recipients for the Fall 2024 grant cycle today in person!
Our Highland Education Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization established to support teachers and students in Highland School District, announced multiple recipients in which we will individually highlight.
The Foundation this year is funding over $10,000 worth of grants to help support our teachers with materials for incredible learning projects in our Highland Schools.
Thank you to our teachers for all you do and thank you to the community for supporting our teachers in Highland!
Our first grant was awarded to Mrs. Bizon and Ms. Klacik at Southridge Elementary School. Titled "Social Emotional and Tactile Learning." Currently the school has an incredible sensory room that is utilized for the ASD program for students K through 5th. The special education students utilize the sensory room for calming, social emotional and tactile learning. It is a functional space for both gross and fine motor learning as well as academics. Their grant plans to open this space to the entire student body of Southridge. It is going to be a fully equipped Sensory Room for the students to enjoy for years to last. Stay tuned to our page as we spotlight more incredible teachers and grants.
