GRANTS
The Spring Lake Schools Foundation annually awards grants to SLPS educators from two endowed funds. Educators submit grant proposals and a committee of SLSF Board members review the applications and award grants based on set criteria intended to uphold the purpose of each of the two funds. In 2017, $21,368 from the Carol Martin Fund and $23,171 from the Spring Lake Schools Foundation Fund were awarded for 16 different grant proposals.
Carol Martin Fund (click to go to page)
Grants from this fund were made possible by the generous donation of former Jeffers Elementary School kindergarten teacher Carol Martin.
Carol Martin, a devoted kindergarten teacher, touched many young lives during her thirty-three years at Jeffers Elementary School. She retired in 1993.
Ms. Martin passed away in 2009, but her devotion to elementary education continues. Her wish was for “the SLSF to use the funds to optimally benefit and contribute to the education of elementary age children in the Spring Lake Public School system.”
