The Foundation for Educational Excellence recently awarded grants to 10 first- and second-year teachers across Beaufort County. These funds are intended to help ease needs (beyond regular school supplies) in the classroom for new teachers in the Beaufort County School District (BCSD).

The teachers were invited to fill out an application stating the supplies they would purchase and obtain letters of recommendation from their principal or mentor teacher. The Foundation’s board then selected 10 of the applicants to receive the $500 grants.

The teachers’ proposed supplies included everything from books to white board and puzzles to flashcards and even flexible seating options and musical instruments. All supplies are helping to create more hands-on learning opportunities and improve the learning environment for their students. The students benefiting from these grants include all ages from pre-K through high school. Some of the supplies will also benefit entire schools—like the stress-relief supplies, journaling notebooks and informative books on mental health.
