The Week of April 20th, 2009
I am proud to announce that Mrs. Martha McMahon was the recipient of the Master Adviser award for promoting Family, Community and Career Leaders of America. This is a high honor for her involvement with students, developing a relevant program of work, and encouraging youth-planned chapter projects. Congratulations to Mrs. McMahon!
On April 22nd I received a check for $7,500 from the Fremont County Community Foundation. I wrote the grant to Infuse 21st Century Skills into our English and Language Arts program. We will be using most of the funds to install Promethean boards into the elementary and secondary classrooms. I want to thank the Fremont County Community Foundation for their faith in our efforts to enlighten our student's education.
On Tuesday, April 21st, the Department of Education announced funding awards for the Stimulus Package Information issued by the American Recovery and reinvestment Act (ARRA). Farragut's share of those awards are $25,824 for Title I and $36,787 for Part B IDEA funds. Guidance for districts on how to spend those funds over the next 20 months will be given over the next few weeks.
