Mini Grants for Teachers
The club has provided over $7,000 to Clarkston Community School teachers for environmental education projects that match the science curriculum. The mini grant projects are aimed at further enhancing student learning.
Teachers apply for a mini grant in September/October of each year, and grant award winners are notified in November.
Examples of past grants that have been awarded include a digital microscope for the high school environmental classes, materials for bottle gardening, solar powered cell phone chargers, outdoor education speaker for students and staff on the importance of outdoor education, and school gardens.
