Attention Teachers!

Introducing Grants for Great Ideas!

Grants for Great Ideas is a new grant program Celina Education Foundation is implementing for the 2018-2019 school year.  All CISD teachers who are members of Celina Education Foundation are eligible to submit a grant application for a classroom-based learning experience they would like to implement that would otherwise not be funded by CISD.  The goal of Celina Education Foundation's Grants for Great Ideas is to encourage innovation in the classroom learning environment by choosing at least 4 CISD teachers to receive a grant in order to implement their great idea within their classroom.  Grant applications will become available October 1, 2018 and will be due on November 16, 2018.  Grant recipients will be notified by December 14, 2018.  We are excited to launch this new program to inspire our teachers to bring great ideas into their classrooms!  Look for more information in the coming weeks!

Thank you to Heather Marx Cunningham and her amazing CARE Auction team for a wonderful evening with the notable Celina celebrity chef of all chefs, Joey Dawkins (and thanks to him for his participatory donation)! Our auction prize was LEGIT! Charcuterie board (that would rival Napa), gourmet baked bone marrow spread with herbs on crostinis, Joey’s own pickled beets with goat cheese and candied pecan spring salad (all from a local organic farm), braised beef in an INSANE French-inspired reduction sauce with caramelized pearl onions (in local honey) over potatoes. For dessert...blackberry cobbler with Tillamahook ice cream and fresh berries. It was a decadent evening for sure! The CARE Auction was a great time. This particular auction item was worth the sweat-beads of bid-checking status all night!!!!! The Koehnes and the Grubbs had a great time! #nextyear
