Pool noodles can be fun and educational! The Elementary Physical Education Team used a VEF teacher grant to purchase class sets of pool noodles for students in TK through 2nd grade. Pool noodles are a safe, versatile, and engaging tool that will be incorporated into two new instructional units: Hockey and Track & Field.
Congratulations to all our 2025-2026 Teacher Grant Recipients. We love the creativity and commitment of our VUSD teachers. Their dedication shows as they design and reach for additional learning opportunities for their students. 👨🏫🏫👩🎓
The Visalia Education Foundation gave $30,000 in teacher grants this year. These grants fund innovative projects that support the standards-based curriculum, and are used to purchase equipment, technology software, supplementary curriculum, and project materials. 📚✂️✏️
We are so grateful to our amazing sponsors that make these teacher grants possible.❤️
