In October, Sequim public school district teachers were invited by SEF to make application for monetary Grants for projects, and/or teaching aids to assist them in meeting Washington State Essential Learning Requirements in their classrooms.

Sequim Education Foundation Grants Committee then met to review and pre-qualify applications on a competitive basis. Applicants meeting pre-qualification criteria were invited to present their applications in person to the SEF Grants Committee. Grants selected by the committee were presented to the SEF Board of Directors for approval and funding.

Surprise!

two grants for the Special Education Department.

The Grants Committee is chaired by SEF Director Kathy Schock. This session's members included retired Sequim Schools staff member Carole Labbe, Boys & Girls Club representative Stephen Rosales, SEF Director Michelle Grinnell and SEF High School Rep Melissa Karapostoles.

Foundation President Dick Hughes said,
"A primary criterion for SEF-funded awards and activities is a 'yes' answer to the question, Will it inspire students to achieve excellence?"

High Five!

Out of 20 applicants, Sequim Education Foundation was able to award 10
grants totaling over $5,400 and help 1,620 students in the Sequim classrooms this year and nearly 2,200 in subsequent years.

Several of the science classroom grants were funded by the Don H. Anderson Memorial Grant Fund.

The entire Grants Committee and the SEF Board of Directors would like to personally thank all the teachers who applied. "It is teachers like them that take the extra time to seek out and apply for programs like this that add so much value to the classrooms and our children, and we thank all of
them for the extra effort they put into such a very important job", Grant Committee Chair Kathy Schock said.
