ENRICHING SCHOOL EXPERIENCE
The Foundation promotes field trips and out-of-the-ordinary experiences that can have lasting and positive impact on students. We award classroom Enrichment Grants directly to teachers to fund projects that extend the regular curriculum, encourage higher-level thinking skills, and enrich student learning through academic enrichment, culture, art, music, field trips and other activities.
Enrichment grants support Mercer Island teachers in their efforts to provide engaging learning opportunities outside the standard curriculum, or to pilot innovative educational programs.
