CCEF Special Innovative Grant

The Clear Creek Education Foundation’s Special
Innovative Grant (SIG) applications are now open
through June 15! A Special Innovative Grant is a
grant of up to $50,000 designed to encourage and
support innovative teaching and learning on a large
scale.

This school year, the Foundation awarded a Special
Innovative Grant for $48,690 to Julie Edwards and
Toni Longino at Bayside Intermediate School! The
"Star Lab for Secondary Schools" is a grant that
focuses on areas such as space and earth science.
The digital star lab is a 360 degree dome, large
enough to walk in and hold a full class of high school
students. The dome offers curriculum support on plate
tectonics, layers of the earth and rock cycles. This grant is a district-wide initiative that will impact 17,000
kids from 6th grade to 12th grade, made possible by the tremendous support received from the Foundation's
Quarter Century Club Partners.
