The TwinStar Community Foundation's annual Classroom Cash program completed another successful award cycle by recognizing 91 schools and 203 teachers from Washington and Oregon with awards totaling $40,600!
This year's Classroom Cash mini-grants were used for books, educational games, reward stickers, USB wired mice for Chromebooks, t-shirts to tie-dye, STEM bins, rolling white boards, privacy boards for test-taking, left-handed scissors, Colors of the World Crayola Crayons, sensory tools, math games, student-friendly shelving, art and craft supplies, two soft chairs, rugs, and more.
In almost every case, the funds help obtain teaching tools that are unavailable due to budget cuts and other funding shortfalls.
Thank you to all our teachers for the amazing work you do! We’re always impressed with the imagination and creativity of the Classroom Cash applications.
This year’s Classroom Cash awards are also the first funds distributed to Oregon teachers from the TwinStar Community Foundation. The Foundation was formed to extend our community commitment programs and have an even greater impact in our communities. We’re looking forward to enhancing our community involvement with innovative support from the TwinStar Community Foundation.
