SEED Seacoast Educational Endowment Dover

On the first Monday of every month, SEED members get to surprise local educators with grant awards that help bring innovative ideas to life in our Dover schools. This is what we call our Prize Parade!

Before each Prize Parade, our Grant Committee reviews all submitted grant applications and votes on the projects that best align with SEED's mission and values. Once the recipient(s) are selected, we visit their schools to present them with their grant funds in person.

We love celebrating the incredible work happening in our Dover schools and recognizing the educators who are making a difference every day.

SEED recently awarded Ashley Paige, DMS 7th grade Language Arts Teacher, a grant for "Embracing Robotics Across Content Areas".

This innovative project will bring Sphero BOLT+ programmable robots into 7th grade classrooms, helping students connect literacy, coding, collaboration, and real world problem solving in exciting new ways.

Students will use robotics to deepen their understanding of literature, while also building skills in communication, creativity, and technology. The project will extend beyond just Language Arts. This will create opportunities for cross curricular learning in math and science as well!

Thank you Ashley for inspiring new ways to learn across content areas!
