The Achieve Foundation has received over $5,000 so far for its Direct Funding Teacher Grants program this year.
Contributions are helping fulfill the requests of grateful staff members, whose grant projects will have a direct impact on the educational program of students in the South Orange and Maplewood public schools this spring.
However, there is still time to contribute and still teacher grants that need funding. The following projects at Columbia High School that are still eligible for direct funding through January 31. The amounts listed with each grant project represent the totals needed to fully fund the grant proposals. Achieve notes that staff members can begin to implement their programs with partial funding; therefore, any and all donations are appreciated.
