Making Ends Meet
Transylvania County Schools Child Nutrition Director Carolyn Barton has requested almost $18,000 in free food from USDA and has signed up for an additional $39,000 for a total of $57,000 in USDA commodities. This is huge, and will be a tremendous help in making ends meet this year.
TCSEF Creative Classroom Grant Applications for 2021-2022
Teachers, administrators, and even students have incredible ideas that deserve to be implemented in classrooms, but finding funding for these ideas can be challenging. Every year, the Transylvania County Schools Educational Foundation (TCSEF) distributes Creative Classroom grants to educators across Transylvania County to support innovative and unique projects designed to enrich classrooms. Due to times and circumstances, the TCSEF has limited funds available; however, they look forward to seeing how they can support the creativity of TCS students, teachers, and staff this year. Information and applications for the 2021-2022 Creative Classroom grants are available at https://tcsef.org/creative-classroom-grants/. Applications are due by midnight on Friday, December 4, 2020. Grants will be awarded in early 2021. All teachers and staff employed with Transylvania County Schools are eligible to apply. Winners will have 18 months to use the awarded funds. Good luck to everyone, and thank you, TCS Educational Foundation.
