Pitch in for Education
The board of directors of the Vestavia Hills City Schools Foundation has awarded 13 grants totaling $61,000 to the eight schools in the Vestavia Hills School System and to the Vestavia Hills Board of Education.
The Foundation currently has a grant-making endowment of more than $2.2 million. Since providing its first grants in 1999, the Foundation has awarded $728,000 to Vestavia Hills City Schools and the Board of Education.
Grants awarded this year will provide schools with curriculum enhancements for reading, math and science; technology-related equipment; and professional development for teachers. In addition, the Foundation’s $28,000 grants to the Board of Education will provide training opportunities for every teacher in the district to further integrate technology in classroom.
