Marilyn Fischbach Reading and Writing Grant Awards
Each spring our Foundation remembers long-time Benton County educator Marilyn Fischbach through the Reading and Writing Grant Program. These mini-grants are available to all elementary teachers in the County and are intended to provide classroom materials or special experiences that will enhance the curriculum currently being offered in the classroom.
Past recipients have utilized funding to purchase musical instruments, reading materials, classroom games and much more. Applications are typically accepted during the month of April. Specific due dates will be announced annually each spring.
