'Tis the season to give … and the Macomb Educational Foundation (MEF) recently surprised schools within the Macomb Community Unit School District No. 185 (MCUSD 185) with grants totaling $36,000.
According to MEF Member Shelley Kreps, $9,000 was given to each public school (Lincoln, Edison, Macomb Middle and Macomb High schools). Another $10,000 in grants have recently been awarded to various schools to fund such projects as incubators, books in backpacks, Dyslexia/ ESL pens and library books for each school. MacArthur Early Childhood Center also received a grant for playground equipment and another $3,000 for books.
'We are so thankful for our teachers and wanted to give them a little extra support to help further enrich their classrooms,' Kreps shared.
Lincoln School will use the funds for instruction needs and programs that impact student growth.
