Melrose Education Foundation Spreads Funds Across School District

On Monday, the non-profit Melrose Education Foundation announced its plans to dole out $5,200 to worthy Melrose educators, as part of its Spring 2015 Mini-Grants Initiative.

Every school in the district got a least a piece of the grant money, from the Franklin ECC to Melrose High, according to a media statement from the foundation.

These grants are intended to finance professional development opportunities for educators, create more resources for U.S. History students, support a new civics course at Melrose Veterans Memorial High School, create new advanced English Language Arts options for grades 3-5, launch innovative pilot programming that discourages sedentary seating, gather project-based geography materials for 6th graders, Solar Robot Kits at the Winthrop School, and gardening projects at the Roosevelt School.

The MEF’s full list of approved initiatives can be seen here.
