"Receiving this grant made a world, literally, of difference to our students and faculty!  We were able to have our first lab for students and it is helping us establish a Global Classroom Partnership with a school in the United Kingdom! Our students look forward to technology in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade every single week!" ~ Chiaramonte Elementary Teacher

School Enrichment programs focus on those areas where need is the strongest, including: funding, literacy, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), and arts and culture. A large percentage is focused on support for at-risk classrooms. The School Enrichment initiative provides the opportunity to pilot promising programs and expand proven curriculum that tax dollars cannot support.

STEM subjects are identified as key areas and present the greatest challenges for students in Florida. There is a growing concern that current students do not have the necessary knowledge to succeed in today's world!

Arts education has an incredible impact on the development of a child. Young people who participate in the arts are three times more likely to be elected to class office within their schools, and are likely to read for pleasure twice as often as their peers.

Thank you to all School Enrichment donors.
