Congratulations to Mrs. Louisa Higginbotham who was awarded an SSVEC micro grant in the amount of $500 last month for some awesome wall-mount activity boards and wooden table top play sets for her preschool classes. We also congratulate Mrs. Theresa Hardman, the recipient of a mini grant from the Cochise Education Foundation in the amount of $200 that she is using to purchase PE equipment for her middle school classes. Thanks to these amazing women for the time & effort they dedicated to apply for grants that would benefit our students.
We are so grateful to SSVEC and the Cochise Education Foundation for their generous donations. Their support makes a significant difference in the educational experience for our students.
