Rockland Education Foundation Grant
Thank you, Mrs. Frates!
Mrs. Frates, our kindergarten academic interventionist, wrote a grant to fund decodable readers for our students. Rockland Education Foundation is a resource we are so grateful to have when we need to supplement our curriculum. Our teachers will write grants in the fall of each school year and the Rockland Education Committee reviews their requests and funds projects they know will benefit our school when the regular school budget cannot.
The Rockland Education Foundation is a non-profit volunteer organization which was founded in 1996 by A. Scott MacKinlay, Dick Phelps, and Ralph “Gus” Lordi with the vision of creating an opportunity for educators to access funding that would allow them to enrich the educational experiences for Rockland students. That vision has been a reality now for twenty-eight years!
