“Teton valley education foundation enhances the educational experience for students and increases opportunities for excellence in public schools in teton county school district 401.”

“Teton valley education foundation offers funding through teacher grants to benefit teton school district 401. Teachers and staff have the opportunity to submit a teacher grant application three times a year for consideration of funding to support new ideas, initiatives and curriculum-aligned projects that would not be made possible due to budgetary constraints. In the current fiscal year, 27 teachers and principals received successful grant awards with a positive impact to 1,400 students. Teacher grant awards were very diverse and the funding highlighted: technology in the classrooms, deepened stem curriculum for the teton high school and teton middle school, supported field trips to enhance classroom learning and supported special education curriculum initiatives.”

“Art reach supports a qualified art teacher and art materials and supplies for all teton school district elementary school students.

This program ensures each student is receiving an art education based on national standards. The program benefited 750 teton school district 401 elementary students, grades k-5.”
