This fall Carroll County School System educators were awarded grants totaling nearly $50,000 by our community partner Carroll EMC to fund innovative and creative educational projects for students.
Bright Ideas grants of up to $1,000 each are given to Pre-K through 12th grade public school educators for classroom-based projects in a variety of subjects. The Carroll EMC Foundation is funded by the “Round-up” program from members paying their monthly power bills.
We are grateful for Carroll EMC’s support of premier programs for our students!
