The Carmel Education Foundation (CEF) has announced the award of 33 “mini” grants this spring. Grants have been awarded for innovative ideas that include an outdoor book club for middle school students, robotics kits for second graders, creative tools to teach probability, cases to display student artwork, and a variety of initiatives related to diversity education and inquiry.
Twelve schools have received these mini grants, with funding up to $500 per grant. The CEF board of directors was committed to providing grants as a boost to the Carmel Clay Schools community in a particularly challenging year.
CEF Grant Chair Tara Ascioti said she and the grant committee, comprised of CEF board and community members, “are thrilled to award these grants as a resource to support our students through creative classroom projects and teacher education.”
CEF Great Idea! Grants are funded through the generosity of Carmel community members who have donated to CEF.
