Nine local schools are benefiting from grants from the WindsorEssex Community Foundation.
The KidStart Grant Program provides small grants of p to $500 to support elementary classrooms taking on special projects.
“We’re proud to support local schools working to make Windsor-Essex an even better place to live and grow. These teachers and students are very dedicated to building community and the WECF is pleased to be able to provide them with opportunities to support this,” says Lisa Kolody Executive Director of the WECF.
This year's projects support seniors, music engagement, the environment, newcomers and provide support to at-risk populations and newborns.
For example, St. Angela Catholic Elementary School received a grant to support the St. Angela Children’s Choir. Funding will provide the choir with music robes and transportation to community venues to perform.
Schools receiving grants include Tecumseh Vista Academy, Prince Edward Public School, Parkview Public School, AV Graham Public School, Begley Public School, St. Angela Catholic School, St. Bernard Catholic School, Hetherington Public School and Coronation Public School.
