Athens Public Education Foundation had its annual loud and proud classroom grant giveaway Thursday morning across all five Athens ISD campuses. Teachers across the district who successfully applied to APEF received funding for learning programs, projects or materials not covered under the district’s budget. At campus after campus, members of APEF and the Athens ISD administrative team — led by the AHS Band percussion section — surprised teachers with presentations of oversized mock checks. The grant monies will purchase items such as books, a turning wheel for clay, and earbuds that translate English to Spanish for the wearer. At the high school, it will also help fund the building of a “tiny house” by CTE (Career & Technical Education) students. More than $37,000 was awarded.
