Thank you!
The Paulding Education Foundation is excited to announce the 100 winners of the Quick Cash for Classroom Grant! After reviewing more than 450 applications, the reviewers picked the winners listed below. Checks should be arriving at the schools over the next few days so that winners can purchase the items listed in the grant applications. “We know our teachers could use more money to impact students and we are thrilled to help a little at the beginning of the year,” said Executive Director Jim McMichen. The Foundation is preparing the applications now for our annual classroom grant that will be going out in September. Each of these grants will be worth $3,000 for a total of $24,000!
