The Grant Patrol – Fall 2019
On
Wednesday October 30, board members of the MPISD Foundation, MPHS band, color
guard, cheerleaders, and the “Grr” Tiger mascot toured seven MPISD
campuses to award $33,236.28 in Educator grants to 36 teachers and
administrators.
“We are so thankful to the MPISD Foundation for again
presenting grants to our staff members”, said MPISD Superintendent of
Schools Judd Marshall. “These funds will allow our teachers to do things
that will benefit our students that would not be possible without Foundation
assistance as they fall outside the budgets for our campuses. These
supplemental funds will help us enrich the learning experiences of our
students. I am also very thankful to all our employees and community members
who have donated to the Foundation. Without them, these grants would not be
possible.”
