The Eileen Finkel Innovative Teacher Grants are all about celebrating and supporting our teachers’ creativity. These grants give them the opportunity to try out new ideas to make their students’ learning even more enriching and engaging.
-Consuelo Redhorse, President, Summit School District Board of Education
I am so grateful for the foundation's support for the Summit High School (SHS) Outdoor Education Program. The foundation's Innovative Teacher Grants helped us build a classroom set of equipment for students for our overnight backpacking trips. These experiences help local students learn about snow science, avalanche mitigation, and risk management in backcountry settings. Our goal is to ensure that more of our students have access to safe field experiences in our local mountain environments.
-Joe Kassay, SHS Outdoor Education Teacher
