Project Funding Committee

The Project Funding Committee designates and applies funds for programs and equipment to enhance the overall education of the children of Monmouth Beach School. On an annual basis, the Foundation funds a teacher's grant program. Last year, several teachers again applied for the grants, and on February l, the Education Foundation's "Prize Patrol" surprised some of them with their grant requests:

· Mrs. Murray was granted graph boards for her math programs so that each student could have their own large erasable board to make it easier to share lessons with their classmates.

· Mrs. Santry also received geo boards and communicators for her math program. This grant was underwritten by the Monmouth Beach Business Association.

· Mrs. Hall had requested a Native American cultural enrichment program to help bring her lessons on Native American Art to life. The Red Hawk Dance Troupe will come to Monmouth Beach and present a music program and dance demonstration to our students in the spring, and this will be coordinated with the annual student art show.

· Mr. Trager had his request fulfilled, which caused great excitement among the students. The Foundation gave the music program 12 guitars!

Mr. Frankenfield has expressed his appreciation for the Education Foundation for all of its contributions and efforts, and continues to come up with innovative and exciting ideas to enhance our children’s educational experience keep us on the forefront of educational tools and resources.
