In 2022, the Everett Public Schools Foundation had 61 Classroom Grant applications and was able to fund 47 grants in 23 of our schools for a total of $35,443. Our Classroom Grants recognize the innovation and creativity of our teachers. This year, we were simply overwhelmed by the enthusiasm, dedication, and innovative thinking shown by our teachers. Their passion for education and their love for their students, as well as for their profession, was noticeable in every grant proposal we reviewed. Whether it was for STEM, increased literacy, or to prepare young minds for college or the workplace, one factor remained constant- These amazing educators just want to TEACH! Their determination not to let anything stand in the way of their desire to teach our students is nothing but courageous!
