GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement, which inspires people to give back to their communities on Dec. 1.
Chelsea Education Foundation (CEF) is leveraging this opportunity to raise the funds needed to support CEF Teacher Grants for the 2020-2021 school year.
CEF’s mission is to enhance the Chelsea School District’s educational experiences by financing projects beyond the resources of the district and by providing scholarships to district graduates.
“We are here as a support system to help Chelsea School District students and staff reach their fullest potential,” said CEF President Lynn Fox. “CEF serves as a link between school, businesses and our community to help strengthen Chelsea’s future.”
With the help of generous donors, CEF is able to provide funding for a wide spectrum of educational activities to benefit the students and the staff of the Chelsea School District. Contributions to CEF are given back to the school district through innovative grants for students, teachers and administrators, and as scholarships to CHS graduates.
“In order to provide extra support to address the increased needs our schools are currently facing, we added 2 new grant cycles this year. Through the Giving Tuesday campaign, we are hoping to raise enough to help us fund additional grants in all 3 cycles,” said Fox.
During the first grant cycle CEF Awarded $10,000 in Teacher Grants to the following programs:
● Strength, Speed and Conditioning | Beach Middle School
● Classroom Library Extension | South Meadows Elementary
● Level M and Lower Books | South Meadows Elementary
● 5th Grade Ukulele Project | South Meadows Elementary
● Art Supply Kits | South Meadows and North Creek Elementaries
● Classroom Leveled Books | North Creek Elementary
