Description

Press release from Belmont Public Schools: June 15, 2022 Teachers and staff members love to receive STAR Awards AND your donation benefits your student's educational experience! These awards help raise funds for grants, including Learning Excellence Grants, Special Initiatives, and Professional Development projects. All grants awarded aim to bring innovation, diversity, inclusion, and enrichment to the schools that could not be included in the regular school budget. This academic year the FBE has awarded 10+ grants for programs in the Belmont Public Schools, including Math Manipulatives, Model DNA and RNA kits, resources for Mental Health Literacy in 8th Grade, and sending representatives from BHS to the Computer Science Teachers Association Annual Conference. Despite our need to rethink our fundraising events yet again as we adapted to living with Covid, Belmont has been there to support us. Thank you for helping us raise funds to continue to support our teachers and students. The Foundation for Belmont Education (FBE) is an independent, non-profit organization run by volunteers who are dedicated to improving educational opportunities for Belmont's students and teachers. The FBE funds grants to educators in the Belmont Public Schools to implement innovative programs and advanced technology that result in richer and deeper learning experiences for BPS students - from small grants that benefit a single classroom to large programs designed to benefit students in an entire grade, school, or district wide. Grants are awarded in all school curriculum areas and for special initiatives and professional development. Website • Facebook • Instagram • STAR Awards Questions? [email protected].
