Microscopes, Author Visit Among $31K in Classroom Enrichment Grants
New kiln, non-fiction books also funded by MEF.
Six iPads for special education students, a dozen digital microscopes for Madison Junior School science classes, and an author visit by N. West Moss at Madison High School are among the latest school supplies and programs to be funded by Madison Education Foundation grants, the foundation has announced.
Thirteen teacher-initiated educational enrichment grants totaling $31,000 were approved by the MEF on Dec. 9.
The grants "support initiatives that energize the creative and academic lives of Madison public school students but are above and beyond the school budget," the foundation said.
