Teacher Grants Program
Teachers can apply as individuals or as teams representing grade levels or buildings, for funding up to $1,000.00 to provide classroom projects that require out-of-the-ordinary supplies, educational speakers, field experiences, collaborative family nights, and more. The Ralston Schools Foundation is excited to assist teachers in providing unique and memorable learning experiences for students. Grants will be awarded each Spring and Fall.
