West Plains R-VII Educational Foundation Spring 2010 Mini Grant Recipient
(Pictured Band Director Allyson Byrd and Foundation President John Richards)
The West Plains R-VII Educational Foundation has given many teachers and classrooms an avenue to obtain additional assistance for their students to fund meaningful classroom projects--- teacher mini-grants. The West Plains R-VII Educational Foundation Mini-Grant Program is designed to provide an opportunity for educators of the R-VII District to create meaningful learning experiences for their students. Allyson Byrd, WPHS Band Director, recently was a recipient of one of the grants.
The West Plains R-VII Educational Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization whose mission is to assist children and youth in areas not supported by tax dollars. The Foundation does this through scholarships, mini-grants, special equipment, leadership programs, parent support and student recognition. The Foundations 9-member volunteer board depends solely on private money for support. |

Middle School Art Class in Need of Photo Frames
The middle school art class is in need of old frames. The frames can be any size but 8x10 or larger is perfered. They also do not have to have glass in them. Mrs. Dixon's vision is to have an "art museum" wall in which student's work will be displayed all framed out! If you can help, please take your old frames to the middle school office.
