Three Cheers for CCEF!!!

Mini Grants selection process underway

I had the opportunity late Wednesday to pop into the Citrus County Education Foundation teacher mini grant meeting.  The CCEF will give over $90,000 in mini grants for the classroom and in January will give another $10,000.

The CCEF teacher classroom Mini Grants are a vital funding project for our kids and schools.  This program permits teachers to be innovative in selecting curriculum that is best for their students.

Selecting these grants is by no means and easy task.  We want to thank CCEF President Linda Rodgers, Anthony Casalvieri, Lena Graff, Maggie Lampasona, David White and Executive Director Shaunda Burdette for giving up their day to help select mini grants for our teachers.

CCEF is established as a 501(c)3 public non-profit corporation.  CCEF raises private funds for programs to support students, teachers and public schools in their respective districts.  In addition, CCEF received funding through the Florida Education License plate program.
