Nova Eisenhower Awarded A $100,000 Grant!
We have been awarded a $100,000 grant from Target and The Ellen DeGeneres Show!! Thank you to all the parents to helped write this grant. Read the press release below.
Broward County Public Schools Broadview Elementary School in Pompano Beach and Nova Eisenhower Elementary School in Davie were announced today by Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) as two of the 50 recipients selected to receive a $100,000 grant to purchase much-needed resources and improve their learning environments. The $5 million donation from Target to K-12 schools in 31 states across the country is part of the company’s commitment to education, which includes plans to give $1 billion for education by the end of 2015.
From November 25, 2011 through January 4, 2012, viewers of The Ellen DeGeneres Show were invited to submit the name of a school in need along with a compelling story explaining why they felt the designated school should receive a grant from Target. Based on the nominations received, Target selected 48 schools and two school districts to receive grants. All grant recipients were chosen based on a number of factors, including consideration of Title I eligibility.
Principals at both schools, Carol Lesser at Nova Eisenhower and Donald Lee at Broadview, indicate the grants will likely be used toward much needed technology upgrades for their classrooms.
We all have an important role to play when it comes to ensuring our children and future leaders are academically successful,” said Laysha Ward, president, community relations, Target. “Thanks to the thousands of viewers who nominated a school as a potential grant recipient, we are contributing a total of $5 million to schools and districts across the country in hopes of inspiring learning and putting more kids on the path to graduation, ready for college, a career and life.”
By providing schools in need with financial resources to help improve their learning environments, Target is doing its part to address the education crisis in America. This donation is just one way Target is making a difference and helping more U.S. children get or stay on the path to high school graduation.
