Our Approach
In 2009, the Foundation for Public Schools in Edgefield County launched a grant program, Teacher’s Vision Grants, designed to encourage creativity and innovation in the classroom. Since 2009, contributions from our community have allowed us to fund a significant number of small grants to support teachers' programs that provide our students with learning opportunities that might not otherwise be possible. These grants have provided a wide variety of educational programs such as:
- reading and literacy
- hands-on and technology-driven math, science and social studies
- career-skills training
- new programs in music, the arts, and physical fitness
