SEF delivers largest grant awards in district history Teachers, local classrooms surprised with grant money Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – It was a day of surprises and celebration throughout the campuses of the Seguin ISD. On Thursday, the Seguin Education Foundation SurPRIZE Patrol spent the day delivering thousands of dollars in grants to teachers across the district. These competitive grants that teachers were encouraged to submit proposed innovative teaching tools for the classroom. This year’s rollout of the grant prizes, however, was one for the record books. That’s according to SEF Executive Director Jill Nash. “It’s been incredible to see the faces of the teachers as they are surprised for being awarded the grants. We were able to award 29 grants this year with $105,000. That is award winning. We have not been able to do that ever in the history of the education foundation and so we have been able to make more stops at each campus to award more grants and the kids are excited as the band is walking down the hall playing their music and then we are giving them high fives as we are hyping up the excitement and there were teachers that were just tearing up because they were just so thankful to be able to win the grants from the education foundation,” said Nash.
