Keeping History Alive Grants:Deadline - Oct.7

[Rob_Hugo@PortNW]

Participants in our summer programs often visit local institutions which would make great destinations for field trips. Unfortunately, many schools cannot afford such experiences. Teachers in all of our programs hear about films and other resources they may not be able to purchase. Perhaps a “keeping history alive” grant from the LA County Office of Education, Azusa Pacific University and the Webster Foundation is what you need! Oct. 7 is the deadline to apply.
