During the Arlington Public Schools Board of Directors meeting on April 24, the Arlington Education Foundation (AEF) gave $11,053.27 to teachers in the Arlington School District. Since 2011, AEF has granted more than $150,000 to classroom teachers in the district as part of their Mini Grant Program.
“The education foundation's commitment to our schools and teachers is exemplified in these classroom grants,” said AEF Board Member, Kevin Ess. “We know that our mission is defined by the outstanding work of the teachers, and we are grateful to be a small part of the great work that they do each day for our students."
