Ever wonder what a $10,000 Innovation Grant would mean for your classroom? Join us as we chat with Fred Lowry, president of the Canyons Education Foundation Board, along with two-time grant recipients, Emma Moss and Clief Castleton, who are transforming their classrooms with these grants. Fred reveals the staggering amount the Foundation has distributed in grants over the years – more than a million dollars!
Moss and Castleton share how these grants have amplified their teaching. From virtual reality explorations to underwater sea creature studies, the grants are sparking curiosity and creativity in the most joyous ways. We also get a glimpse of how inclusivity is promoted with grants catering to the unique needs of students — larger bikes for mobility, wheelchair-friendly tables, and Spanish books for bilingual classes. Join us as we celebrate the love and commitment teachers pour into their classrooms, made possible by generous donations to the Education Foundation, and teachers’ big ideas.
