2009–2010 CKMS Grants Approved

There are enrichment materials, programs, and technologies that better our students' academic experiences. Teachers know what they need to make their subject areas more enriching and engaging. But school budgets are tight, and schools cannot afford to buy them.

To help, CKMS PTSA sponsors a grant program to make teachers' visions a reality for our children. The following grants were approved for the 2009–10 school year. Congratulations to each teacher!
