Our Teacher Grants have been put to much use already!

Here are some of the great ideas & final projects from a few of our wonderful teachers in the Mt Diablo School District:

"Our students were thrilled to use the colored pencils & markers your donation enabled us to get. They drew about recently explored plant life in the form of sunflowers", writes Ms. Knabe from Gregory Gardens Elementary.

"Thank you so much for your hundred dollar 2026 teacher grant. I was able to use it to purchase scratch off stuckers, canvases, and acrylic paints for our Mother’s Day project. The students loved it, I know the moms will too. Your grant enabled us to buy the materials we needed for this activity. Thank you very much for your generosity." From Ms Smith Monte Gardens Elementary.

Your membership dues, show applications, and donations go to providing grants to Elementary teachers and scholarships to Los Medanos College freshmen students.
