Creative Teaching Grant funds 6 projects
At the Butler Area School District meeting Monday night, it was announced that the Golden Tornado Scholastic Foundation distributed a total $10,000 in Creative Teaching Grant funds among various schools and an update was provided on the Butler Senior High School auxiliary gym construction.
According to Al Vavro, school board president, the foundation reviews and chooses which applicants’ projects will benefit the largest amount of students in a particular school.
“They try to pick projects most helpful to the kids and look at the number of students affected by the grants,” he said. “The board is grateful for the effort put forth by those applying for these grants to help our students and staff.”
The six projects are partly funded by proceeds from the Fine Arts and Beyond showcase, according to superintendent Brian White. Each applicant was asked to fill out a questionnaire describing their intentions for the grant.
