Foundation Grants Help Fund Innovative Teachers
Jan. 17, 2020
The Lindbergh Schools Foundation continued its annual support of original, inventive teaching ideas on Jan. 16, awarding several Lindbergh educators with 2019 Lindbergh Schools Foundation Teacher Grants. The foundation funded 65 grant applications this year, including 13 from Concord Elementary School.
The Lindbergh Schools Foundation teacher grant fund was created to support grants for Lindbergh Schools teachers who propose innovative and engaging classroom projects to elevate instruction and learning to the next level. Since 2008, the foundation has awarded 268 grants to Lindbergh teachers totaling more than $114,000.
The grants are funded by the iDrive program, Thank-a-Teacher program, online mini-auctions and direct donations from supporters. Teachers who win grants are surprised in their classrooms with a visit from the foundation’s very own prize parade.
For more information on the grants awarded and how our grants are funded, please visit the Lindbergh Schools Foundation website.
