These grants fund new projects, identified by the teachers, that exceed the day-to-day curriculum, from math software to translation earbuds, according to a news release from the WEF.
“Our teachers work tirelessly each day to engage their students. We want to support their hard work as they bring innovative learning experiences to local students,” said Warsaw Education Foundation Director Erin Serafino. “The Foundation seeks to make Warsaw Schools the best it can be, and supporting teachers through Red Apple Grants is our main focus.”

Every year, the Foundation raises money through its annual Quiz Bowl, corporate sponsorships and supporters. The funds raised are given to Warsaw teachers through Red Apple Grants. Any Warsaw teacher can apply for project funding through this program. Since its founding in 1987, the Foundation has funded more than $550,000 in projects that have impacted over 37,000 K-12 students.
