School Board Appreciation Month
Each year school districts across the country celebrate January as National School Board Appreciation Month in order to commemorate the important contribution that school board members make to their communities. We would like to take this opportunity to say “thank you” to our dedicated school board members, past and present, for all that they do to improve public education every day.
TCSEF Creative Classroom Grant Awards for 2019-2020
This fall, the Transylvania County Schools Educational Foundation made $18,000 available for creative classroom grants to TCS teachers. The competitive grants are part of over $25,000 that the Foundation makes available to enrich classrooms, send students to Close Up Washington, provide scholarships for alumni, and support teacher leadership initiatives. We appreciate TCSEF’s fundraising efforts with the annual Taste of Transylvania and the work of the Grants Committee, which evaluates upwards of 50 proposals per year. The following projects have been recommended to be funded in 2019-2020. Recipients will have up to 18 months to use the grant money. Congratulations to all!
