D20 Education Foundation Grant Recipients—2023-2024

Each year the D20 Education Foundation awards grant money to schools for creative projects which support the D20 Board of Education or Superintendent’s goals, school site plan goals, accreditation guidelines, curriculum standards and/or the D20 mission.  Applications are presented in the fall.  A district committee reviews the applications, and the Education Foundation presents the awards in December.  The following are the nine winners for the 2023-2024 school year.  The Foundation offers its congratulations to these winners.
