Hamden Education Foundation
Mini-Grants Awarded October 2008
This is the ninth year of mini grants for Hamden teachers, proudly sponsored by The Hamden Education Foundation. Our purpose in granting these funds is to encourage teachers and other certified staff to implement exciting and often long-cherished ideas for their students. The Foundation believes strongly in offering certified staff opportunities to enrich their curriculum and professional practice in ways directly affecting students' day-to-day classroom experiences. The amount of funding available this year was $10,000.
