The students in the Community Schools of Frankfort will have some exciting things to look forward to in the coming months, thanks to teachers going above and beyond to apply for a teacher grant to enhance the learning experience in their classrooms.<\/p>\n

“Each\u00a0year I look forward to the unique ideas the teachers request. The focus seems to always center around literacy, and that is true again this year. While the focus is similar, the requests vary so the students will have several different methods to learn from throughout their time in the school system because many of these grants can be used again year after year,\u201d Frankfort Education Foundation President Ali Mullen said.<\/span><\/p>\n
