Foundation For Saline Area Schools

Last week I attended the Foundation for Saline Area Schools trustee meeting.  The primary agenda item dealt with the distribution of the grant requests that have been sent in by our faculty.  It was exciting to see the 31 grants submitted for review.  In total, over $62,000 in project funding was sought for grants that included math facts, tech integration, chemistry & matter, smartboards, hands-on science, ELMO projectors, brain based tools, ELL materials, and more.

Unfortunately, the level of funding within the Foundation for Saline Area Schools (FSAS) does not currently provide for the ability to fund all of the grants that have merit.  The FSAS Trustees will have tough choices to make over the next month.

This week, we are just kicking off the 2010 campaign for Saline Area School staff to use the payroll deduction method to support the Foundation for Saline Area Schools with monthly donations.  I encourage staff to join me in contributing to the Foundation.

For those of you in the community who would like to support the Foundation for Saline Area Schools – and in doing so support the innovative projects that they fund – send your donations to
