You Are Invited . . .

I'd like to invite all of you to visit Cabell County's IZ consortiums webpages that are linked to our district webpage. At this time the webpages are primarily being used as a vehicle to convey information to the large number of staff involved in each Innovation Zone. You can click on the middle icon (the state's IZ icon) and be directed to the state IZ site. Or, you can click on the icon to the right or left to enter the elementary or secondary consortium's site. Here is the address:

Dominion Foundation Offers K-12 Educational Grants in Math and Science - The Dominion Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Dominion Resources, is accepting applications for Educational Partnership grants of up to $10,000 to help students in kindergarten through 12th grade strengthen their skills in mathematics and science. The program is open to schools and institutes working to benefit students in the nine states where Dominion does business - Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia and West Virginia. The foundation expects to award about $300,000 in total grants. Although the majority of the grants will range from $1,000 to $5,000, the foundation expects to award a few exceptional grants of up to $10,000. Grants in this category have a broader focus and involve larger numbers of children and/or classes or have a school-wide / system-wide focus or involve the surrounding community. The program also offers mini-grants of up to $1,000 for projects that enhance the teaching of math and/or science. Deadline May 1, 2010.
