SPEF channels our supporters’ donations into projects great and small. The star of the latter category — and one of the most satisfying things we do — is the Teacher Direct Grant program. Every school year SPEF provides up to $1,500 per teacher to fund novel ways to improve the learning environment at all five South Pas schools.
This year’s budget was $40,000 to help teachers make a big impact in the classrooms across South Pas!
