The Killeen ISD Education Foundation grant patrol traveled in two groups along two routes Wednesday, crisscrossing the school district to deliver 30 grants in 20 locations totaling more than $103,000.
The groups, made up of a variety of KISD administrators, foundation board members and grant sponsors stopped by 19 schools to barge into classrooms and other spaces to surprise the winning teachers.
“The best part of our grant patrol, year after year, is the genuine surprised reaction from the grant recipients,” said Foundation Director Leslie Gilmore. “That is why we absolutely love doing grant patrol because of the fun and excitement from the recipients and the students.”
At each stop, the visiting patrol members gathered available campus administrators and anyone else available and willing and used noisemakers to announce their presence as they made their way to the winning teachers.
The delivery included a $2,500 Reading Challenge grant shared by the high schools, as well as the annual $10,000 grant to support the annual Elementary Science Olympiad, a $10,000 grant for an elementary Battle of the Books set for next spring and a $2,500 to inaugurate an elementary UIL academic event.
The district’s Education Foundation awards grants to teachers for classroom activities each fall and for professional development in the spring. The foundation also awards a large volume of college scholarships to seniors. All funding comes from local donors.
“Our generous donors and partners allow the foundation the ability to partner with KISD in enhancing the experiences for students on the campuses across the district,” Gilmore said.
