GRANT AWARDED—Rachael Foster, art teacher at Greenmont Elementary, received a grant titled African American Artists through Young Eyes.

Grant funds were used to purchase consumable art supplies, display and hanging materials, and adaptive tools to support students with sensory needs, ensuring that all students could fully participate in and enjoy the creative process. In February 2026, Greenmont celebrated Black History Month with a school-wide art show featuring original artwork from every student in kindergarten through fifth grade, inspired by the lives and works of African American artists.

Rachael shared,

“The students demonstrated genuine excitement and pride, and the art show was successful, helping to build community and pride in our own artwork. It also allowed students to experience art from a variety of perspectives.”

GRANT AWARDED-Megan Ray, SD Title 1 teacher, received a KEF grant titled Foundations First: Multisensory Tools for Beginning Readers.

“The materials purchased with this grant have given struggling and emergent readers hands-on, kinesthetic ways to practice phonic skills. Seeing the student engagement and excitement using the materials has been
great! Because of the multi-sensory, engaging activities, students are getting a variety of hands-on experiences to solidify and/or enhance phonics skills.”
