The Frisco Education Foundation awarded $28,000 in STEM grants to teachers across 21 campuses thanks to a generous donation from CoServ and the Frisco Women’s League.
Since 1999, the Foundation has awarded FISD educators grant money for classroom and campus initiatives. With this distribution, the Foundation has officially granted more than $1 million in grant funding to educators in Frisco ISD!
This spring, staff members were offered the opportunity to apply for grants. Completed applications were reviewed by the FEF Board, which ensures funded grants align with the District curriculum and initiatives while impacting student learning in new and inventive ways.
To celebrate the latest winners, educators were summoned to “required” and “emergency” Zoom meetings by their principals. When they arrived in the virtual meeting, they were shocked to find people cheering, hooting and hollering in celebration of the STEM grant the teacher had won.
Over the course of several days, representatives from the Frisco ISD Board of Trustees, Frisco Education Foundation and CoServ surprised and celebrated teachers for their innovative ideas that will directly impact increased STEM-based activities to thousands of students.
Congratulations to all of these educators and their co-applicants who instruct students in special education, fine arts, science, English, math, writing, social studies, technology and physical education across all grade levels:
