2019/20 Learning Grant Recipients
The Prairie Spirit Schools Foundation is continuing its support of innovative learning opportunities for students in Prairie Spirit School Division by providing over $34,000 in Learning Grants for the 2019/20 school year.
The Foundation’s Learning Grants Program is designed to support student learning in Prairie Spirit School Division, with an emphasis on student engagement and relevant learning opportunities, by enhancing current Division programs and resources.
“Working closely with the Division, we are able to promote and foster enhanced learning opportunities for Prairie Spirit students throughout the Division,” said Kari Dean, Fund Development Manager for Prairie Spirit Schools Foundation. “Since February 2017, our Learning Grants Program has contributed $136,000 to Prairie Spirit schools and students.”
Applications for the 2019/20 Learning Grants opened in June. A selection committee consisting of members of the Foundation’s Board and Prairie Spirit Learning Superintendents reviewed all applications and approved 13 submissions.
“Our purpose as a Foundation is to extend and enrich the learning opportunities available to the students in our Division. We know as a result of our Learning Grants we significantly impact students by providing and empowering them with additional resources, training and tools to further achieve and often exceed their learning goals. For this reason, we will continue to reach out to our community partners, sponsors and donors. Without their commitment, we know opportunities like Learning Grants would not be possible,” said Michael Wright, Board Chair, Prairie Spirit Schools Foundation.
