More than $49,000 in Foundation grants were distributed to classrooms all over Olathe last week. Covering everything from service projects to the arts, the winning grants are a reflection of the skills and support that students need to be successful in school and in life.
If you know a teacher who has a great idea for their classroom and needs funding to make it happen, encourage them to apply for a Foundation grant!
