Education Foundation “Back to School Teacher Appreciation” – Funding Request

Louis Nesbitt2023-07-13T17:11:52-04:00July 13th, 2023|Uncategorized|

The Education Foundation of Anne Arundel County Public Schools would like for all of our AACPS teachers to start the school year with a welcoming “Back to School” breakfast, luncheon, or other celebration. While many of our schools are able to host events &/or provide gifts for their faculties to welcome them back to the new school year, some schools and their parent organizations have limited resources for these types of activities.

The Education Foundation of AACPS would like to provide five (5) schools with a Back to School Teacher Appreciation celebration. Each school would receive $1,000 in funding for August. If your school is interested in applying for this funding, please complete this request by Monday, August 7th and your application will be considered for this year. If selected, you will be notified by August 11th and we will be able to provide you with the funding by August 18th.

Thank you to you and everyone in your school community who supports the students of our county!
