In a show of continuing support for the local education community, the Cal Coast Cares Foundation has awarded $95,000 in grants to over 60 local educators for inspiring, innovative class projects. The grants support a variety of projects related to STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, and Math) and were awarded to educators in San Diego and Riverside Counties.
The foundation has awarded more than $1.6 million dollars in educator grants and student scholarships since it was established in 2015. “We are proud to support local educators who are bringing creativity and innovation into their classrooms,” Penney Newell, Manager of the Cal Coast Cares Foundation shared with GB Magazine. “These grants help spark curiosity and a love of learning in students, and that is something to which we are deeply committed. In times like these, these grants take on even greater meaning. They help ensure that impactful learning experiences do not get left behind.”
Previous grant recipient Carrie Northum, a teacher at San Ysidro High School, shared, “Receiving the Cal Coast Cares Foundation grant made it possible for me to offer my students the opportunity to learn principles of mechanical, electrical, software, and systems engineering in a fun, hands-on manner. This will enrich not only their time in the classroom but the quality of their life after.”…
