SAPULPA, Okla. – The Sapulpa Public School Foundation has awarded a total of $43,502.92 in teacher grants, split among 57 teachers across the district.
The Grants-to-Teachers Program provides Sapulpa Public Schools teachers with funds for the development and implementation of innovative teaching projects. Teachers must submit ideas for their projects, and this year, more teachers than ever received grants.
Grants are funded through private and corporate donations to the Annual John Cockrum Golf Tournament, held in September. Once ideas are submitted, a Foundation committee prioritizes grants based on imaginative projects to inspire students, generate enthusiasm and promote academic excellence.
Teachers from all eight Sapulpa Public Schools sites received grants for innovative projects and classroom tools. The grants will pay for STEM project resources, media center materials, supplies to support educational pathways, and more.
The Sapulpa Board of Education approved the grants at November’s regular board meeting.
“Year after year, the Sapulpa community steps up to support our teachers, our schools, and our students,” said Rob Armstrong, Superintendent of Sapulpa Public Schools. “We are so grateful, especially during the holiday season, to distribute these extraordinary gifts that encourage innovation and advancement in our classrooms.”
Sapulpa Public Schools would like to thank the corporations, community partners, and individuals who donated to this year’s Sapulpa Public School Foundation campaign.
The Sapulpa Public School Foundation, Inc. was established in April 1990. It is a broad-based, non-profit, community organization which secures and distributes contributions for the benefit of students in Sapulpa Public Schools.
