Dear Allison,
This spring, Midway ISD Education Foundation will celebrate 10 years
of success by consistently funding “Grants for Great Ideas” over the
last decade.
Each year, the Education Foundation awards grant writers for
making positive suggestions to motivate and impact a community.
In the next few months, MISD Education Foundation will have several
grant opportunities that would interest the community to be inspired
and see the difference their contribution has on “Moving Education
Forward.”
• Yes, Wii Can: this project allows special needs students to
express themselves and experience an array of physical activity such
as aerobics, muscle stretches and balance games.
• Mirror, Mirror, What Will I Be? : Grades K-4 learn about the roles
of community helpers and mimic the roles by working in groups.
• Can You Dig It? : high school students use GPS to conduct a
treasure hunt to learn how to use maps for world geography, and
the GPS are used for algebra students in a graphical sense to
organize data.
We think your viewers, especially those who have been impacted by
Education Foundations funding, will find the grant stories a real
inspiration. We hope you agree.
I’ll be contacting you soon to see how we can partner on this
project.
Sincerely,
Cindy Dixon Midway ISD Education Foundation Intern
