We fulfill grant requests for many things throughout the year for needs in the district. Last year, we had received a grant request from the high school counseling office for iPads to make the registration process easier for students and families. We received a lovely thank you letter from them that we really appreciated! It's wonderful to see our funds making a difference for our students!
