John Muir Teachers Win Grants for School
The teachers won a combined $1,500 in grants from an Oakland-based philanthropic organization.
Three John Muir Elementary teachers recently won grants to help their students expand their learning beyond the classroom, the school reported.
The grants were from Philanthropic Ventures Foundations, which is based in Oakland.
Pamela Rondeau, a kindergarten teacher, and Anne Dallara, a second grade teacher, both earned $500 grants for ceramics lessons. Every year, they teach their students how to do ceramics, and the grants will be used to pay for supplies.
