Foundation for SPS awards $319,067 in grants 💚

On Sept. 10, Foundation for SPS volunteers visited buildings across the district to deliver grants totaling more than $300,000.

The Foundation for Springfield Public Schools celebrated its annual Grant Delivery Day by distributing back-to-school grants to more than 35 schools across the district. The grants support a variety of classroom needs, including hands-on learning experiences, STEM initiatives, literacy resources and more. “Every year, our educators remind us just how creative and committed they are to finding new ways to engage their students,” said Natalie Murdock, executive director of the Foundation for Springfield Public Schools. “Grant Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate that commitment and show teachers that our community believes in the work they are doing."

I Choose SPS: Darrin Stine, Audio-Visual Specialist

"As the district Audio-Visual Specialist, I design, implement and support the AV technology across the district. While this is A LOT of work and impacts all students districtwide, the biggest impact I make is interacting with staff. Knowing how to design a space, as well as finding the right AV technology to implement, hinges on what it is being used for. To better understand that, I get to talk to teachers, administrators and other district leaders to best understand what tools will serve SPS in the best capacity. Talking to people is the bulk of what I do at SPS."
