Inspirational Teachers
The Education Foundation is proud to announce the awarding of 15 Inspiration Boosts to Sierra Vista Unified School District educators, helping them fund special classroom or departmental projects in March 2024. The Foundation makes these awards twice each academic yer - once in the fall and once in the spring. The dates for the fall semester will be announced on our web Home page and on our Facebook and Instagram pages shortly after the next academic year begins.
Our Boosts go up to $250 to get your plans off the ground. Our Boosts are not just limited to all educators. We have a category for Administrators, Counselors, and Educators for support of department wide or school wide projects up to $750.00 - just use the same application form and follow the guidelines.
