The Alvin ISD Education Foundation Winners Wagon visited campuses in Alvin ISD to surprise teachers with Innovative Teaching Grants. These grants were funded through generous donations at the annual Foundation Fall Gala through “Adopt a Grant;” gala attendees were able to donate towards these grants in the Silent and Live Auctions. With these donations five grants were fully funded.
Foundation members, Alvin ISD administrators, high school band students, and Sheldon A. Turtle the Foundation mascot, along with the generous donors were part of the Fall Winners Wagon. Having the band students added to the fun and definitely announced to everyone that something fun was happening, students and staff alike were excited to greet this group.
The total of the grants awarded was $4,550.78. Each of these grants will bring fun and learning into these classrooms.
