Western Governors University was holding its "Fund my Classroom" initiative again across four states. This was the first time teachers in Minnesota could submit their ideas for consideration. Jenna completed an application stating where the funds would be used and how it would impact students and was awarded a $1,020 grant this past Friday. Funds for her project will go towards 93 new books for our school that go along with our new reading curriculum. Books will help students to further their interests in topics of study or bring more of the new knowledge to life.
