Mini Grants fund innovative instruction in district classrooms
Mini Grants are an important part of the Sedalia School District Foundation’s vision to provide all Sedalia School District students with innovative opportunities. Any member of the Sedalia #200 staff may apply for a Mini Grant. Mini Grants should be innovative and creative in nature. Grant requests for reusable materials/supplies will be given priority, but Mini Grants may not be used for textbooks. Before applying for a Mini Grant please read the complete criteria and instructions in the “SSDF Mini Grant Information Sheet”.

Mini Grant Awards!
A Mini Grant to fund art supplies for a bulletin board cart at Smith-Cotton High School was awarded to Alicia Maggert. Mrs. Maggert said, “It was very successful, and the students researched, planned and executed each bulletin board as a team and individually.” Students also updated bulletin boards in classrooms at the request of teachers. “This is also a great learning opportunity for our future teachers. Working with teachers and planning learning opportunities for students is very valuable along with working on a deadline and having multiple projects at one time.”
Students at the Loftus Early Childhood Center wear Timekettle WT2 Plus Language Translator earbuds while playing with classmates and interacting with teachers. The Mini Grant was awarded to April Huddleston and allows teachers to communicate in conversation and ask questions to non-English speaking students. It also allows teachers to assess students in their native language.
