The Little Cypress-Mauriceville
Education Foundation, Inc. awarded twelve grants to LCM educators on Thursday,
October 4, totaling $13,225.49. Thirty-four grant applications totaling over
$66,000 were received and the Awards Committee had difficulty narrowing the
field to those twelve who were selected. This year’s amount, combined with
three previous years of grants, push the total given by the Foundation over
the $50,000 mark. These grants are given to fund educational projects that
enhance and enrich the curriculum for which school monies are not available.
The application process is competitive
and each grant is reviewed by a committee who does not know the names of the
applicant. The grants are examined for the number of students who will be
impacted, the probable longevity of the item(s) requested, and how the request
addresses the District’s Educational Goals. The following are the 2007 – 2008
LCM Education Foundation, Inc. grant recipients.
