Teacher/Parent Grant Recipients for 2020-2021
The Beverly Education Foundation presented its annual Teacher/Parent Grant Awards totaling $8,950.00 at the virtual June 17, 2020 School Committee meeting. This year’s recipients benefit all grades and levels of learning and projects vary from a multi-visit program for Beverly High School AP Art students, STEM, computer aided design programs, and 3D printers. The Foundation also awarded funds to increase awareness of nutrition and eating healthy, and has partnered with Beverly Middle School’s librarian and nurse to provide a unique Menstrual Equity program for middle school girls.
With an eye to the reintegration of our students back into school as a result of the pandemic, the Foundation has for the next school year supported projects focused on communication, rules, and play structures for students, funded inclusive environmental reading programs, and Math nights for families. We have also focused on the wellness of the person by funding professional development for social emotional learning for teachers and students and an art therapy project.
