Red Apple Grants

MAKE AN IMPACT

Education that goes above-and-beyond

Red Apple Grants are awarded each year to teachers throughout Warsaw Community Schools. They cover above-and-beyond learning opportunities as well as classroom accessories that enable access and inclusion (such as new equipment for students with special needs.) Every grant is a teacher’s idea for exceptional learning that falls outside the school’s budget. A Red Apple Grant bridges the gap between a teacher’s dream and reality.

The STEM activities our Red Apple Grant enabled us to purchase created an atmosphere that engaged all students. It was evident they were excited to learn.
